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

[big_james10]

Arum is basing that $80 million figure for Mayweather on the idea that Arum will be keeping $60 million of the pot. That won't happen. If this fight occurs, Mayweather will get a lot more than $80 million.

Changing the cutoff date?? Because originally he didn't want one. He felt like there was no reason for one if u are clean. Once Pac and his team made all the excuses, I think that reinforced his view that Pac was on something, but he still gave into the 14 days to make the fight. Once Pac declined that, he felt slighted and wasn't going to offer that any longer...especially since he had more leverage.

I often wondered what the big fuss about the test was. If they were clean then whats the issue?

floyd- canelo got a 200m revenue.
worst case scenario is if floyd-pacquiao equal that 200m.

75/25 is a scam considering what a pacquiao win means for floyd.
1.fighter of the decade(this decade)
2.a move from top 30 to top 10 atg.
3.doubling his biggest guarantee ever. and biggest earning ever after all earnings are accounted for.

my man didn't u read what the icon said.. its not about the money.. why r you talking in circles. . floyd has options if the fight doesn't happen.. khan, cotto2, canelo2, thurman, garcia.. what plan b does pacman have.. jesse vargas... no matter how u cut it or what angle you view it from, floyd is the A side, period, bigger chunk of the purse goes to him, thats pretty much non negotiable, what the hell is pac gonna do, fight vargas on regular HBO .. floyd vs khan in the UK would be a superbowl for britain.. manny is in a 'take it or leave it' position

"a move from top 30 to top 10 atg"

Thats what a win over Pac means!!!

JMM is a top 10 ATG?

when floyd retires and the hype died down. floyd will never be at the top 20.
manny's jmm loss means nothing to his atg status.

Floyd is gonna ask PAC to wear pillow gloves. I wonder what will happen WHEN this becomes an issue.

Again, since when are 8oz gloves EVER pillows? Pac has asked for more catchweights than Floyd has asked for pillow gloves, so why don't you concentrate on that.

Im not on PEDs, but Im turning down the fight cause he wants me to test.

Its not about the money, but Im turning down the fight cause I want more money.

...

I wish i was making this up.

If its not about the money, he should have accepted the 40 million originaly offered by mayweather

So first he declines the $40mill, then says he wants to fight for free and all the proceeds go to charity...

Wasn't it ego that made Pacquiao reject random blood testing outside 14 days?

If it is not about the money that why not put out the amount of the split? We already know he was offer $40 mil plus PPV upside (are they ok with that offer, if not what is their counter offer).

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...

Is not about the money. .. RIGHTTTT. .. so why not accept the 40 mil offered with 35% of the revenue. Is always about the money

pacquiao and aruns horse **** in full affect. keep on begging

well then if its not about money (even though he's in $75 mil debt in Philippines, and $18mil debt in america) take your $40mil from floyd, get your a** beat.. so ppl can move on already

this has to be the funniest shtt ever. check for yourselves, every single floyd fan/post has red k. lmfao wow. do yall see wtf is going on here?
