Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says Mayweather Fight is Not About Money, Ego

[Hype job]

^^^ this right here.. I'm assuming it's only a business decision when your boy tries to price himself out of a fight.. but it's a duck move when other do it.. everyone with a right sense of mind would know that accepting a $40million flat purse is dumb.. when that fight at that time was a serious threat to 3million ppv buys.. generating over $200 million.. and you wanted someone who was selling on average around 100-300k less buys... but fought more times a year.. to take $40 when they we're the top 2 fighters.. top 2 draws.. why didn't mayweahter accept the counter offer of $50 flat purse?

or 45/45 with 10 going to the winner since it was "easy work"?

Fl0mos do not have a right sense of mind...

They are groupies..

why is booty dew allowed to post while banned?

Of course it's about the money.

[Evol]

its not technically about the money but nobody in their right mind is gonna accept $1 while his opponent gets $10,000 when they're BOTH the top 2 right now. thats straight up disrepectful!

why floydfans always talk ****s on this board? better tell floyd to man up and take the fight

[megadeth]

could it be because he changes his mind and realize he needs to accept whatever to make the fight? or is floyd the only one allow to change his mind?

So why is it when Floyd changes his mind it's called roadblocks and excuses? Floyd didn't work with Arum since he left TR. He concedes and tries to work with him for the Pac fight in 09/10, and he is blamed because he has a resonable reqest. THEN, Arum lies about negotiating again knowing good and well he had already promised the fight to Margarito. Floyd gets sick of him and realizes that Arum isn't serious, yet for some reason, he isn't allowed to change his mind and not want to work with Arum. It's called another "roadblock"! If it is not about money, then why aren't you screaming "roadblock" for Pac not accepting the 40mil?? Why all the double standards?

Have fun!

stop exaggerating. its not a 10, 000 to 1or 1,000 to 1 ratio. Manny fans will lie about anything.

Tell Arum to let you sign the ****ing 40 mil with 35% upside contract then Manny! This ****ing camp and saying it's not about the money lol. Just like me scared of needles but has multiple ****ing tattoos. Pac vs Vargas coming up next. And I thought ego was involved by declining accepting full random olympic style drug testing too. And Arum and these ****ing stadiums... MGM Grand is perfect **** a Bob built stadium or Fairy Jones Cowgirl Stadium. The A side makes terms like venue not the damn B side... Pac wants it and so does Floyd so Arum needs to concede or let Todd DeBeouf (who Floyd doesn't mind) negotiate. Choice of 8oz. gloves including Reyes, USADA testing with option for Pac to do VADA also if wanted, standard Nevada championship ring, MGM Grand as venue, Mayweather Promotions leads promoting event in association with Top Rank, 60/40 split with 60% to Floyd, and all belts on the line from 147-154 with the loser paying the sanction fees.

$45mil flat fee +ppv was arum's counter offer to floyd.

Arum can't offer shiet....he isn't running anything. Did Algieri's promoter make offer to Arum or the other way around?
