Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao, Arum Been Ducking Us For Years

[Ruthless One]

That wasn't a reasonable offer considering both are superstars. It's the IT fight and it's just unfair for one to take the majority of the pie.

They need to stop bringing up that 40 mil, no PPV "offer" since that's only about 13% of the share if the fight is capable of grossing $300 mil.

Why do we bother making this a big deal? Were in the same position as before. The fight is no closer to being made until Pacquiao gives in to everyone of Mayweather's demands.

Unbeaten boxing superstar and perennial pound-for-pound kingpin, Floyd "Money" Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) broke his silence and called out Manny Pacquiao during an interview on SHOWTIME® during Friday's SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION telecast from San Antonio.

Speaking publicly for the first time in many weeks, Mayweather was interviewed by SHOWTIME expert analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood.

Let's wait and see about all this "breaking his silence" talk. Isn't it telling how, instead of just simply saying he wants the Pac fight, he rehashes ancient history about all the roadblocks and excuses he threw up for his prior smokescreens? I predict a continuation, more of the same ol' same ol' ****.

We know he's praying that Amir Khan looks good tonight so he can proceed with Plan A, instead of succumbing to the pressure exerted on him by the public and his boss Leslie Moonves, to finally say & do something about making the $$$$$ fight with Pac, or else he'll look like a coward.

Prediction: If Khan looks good tonight, Floyd will string out the Pacman negotiations with his usual roadblocks till the other side gives up and goes with their Plan B and he can proceed with Plan A.

If Floyd was sincere about what he said on Showtime, the negotiations should be no problem and be done quickly. The Hopkins/Kovalev negotiations are proof positive. If both fighters want it bad enough, agreements come quickly. If someone doesn't want the fight, unreasonable & unfair diva demands are thrown up as roadblocks, concessions are stubbornly refused, time is drawn out endlessly until the other side gives up in exasperation.

Time will tell who gets exposed.

Pacquiao has already turned down perfectly reasonable figures. 50/50 and 40 million. More money than he has ever made. That either means he is too dumb to figure out that's his best offer or he's a puppet for Arum. Neither is a good look.

Have you been doing any reading? You should already know that the $40 million offer is an insult considering the magnitude of the fight. And the latest from Floyd is Pac should not get even that anymore. And what about 50-50? Pacquiao said he'd take less.

It's Floyd making all the unreasonable demands. What's next? The gloves too?

"Mayweather can get the amount he wants. As early as January this year, I challenged him to a charity fight. Until now, he has not agreed to it. So, money is not the issue in our fight," Pacquiao said Saturday.

"This fight is about legacy, this is about making the fans happy and, above all, this is for the good of boxing." - Manny Pacquiao 12/12/14.

Either Pacquiao is lying to his fans, or you just stfu about money splits.

Another idiot. Of course Pacquiao was bluffing, because Mayweather insulted him about his "money problems."

The discussion is the present actions and words of both fighters. The obvious point here you choose to ignore since you are a TMT employee or Mayweather relative, is Mayweather making roadblocks and your team mate defending those roadblocks by talking about past issues like you just did.

Yes Pacquiao was bluffing. Did Floyd even respond to it? Fine, no problem there.

But we are in the present time. What now? Maybe you are the one should shut up lol.

He just said this yesterday.

you know i put off watching this video because i thought it was just gonna be some bs but this guys response was actually pretty damn good. he conveyed some passion, plugged showtime boxing better than hbo, and responses kinda gave an idea of his mindset as things went down these past years. the only critic i'd say is maybe it was an act but even this i doubt. good interview.

You really are ******. The challenge is for both him and Mayweather fighting for charity, not Pacquiao alone. What kind of a challenge is that if Pacquiao gets nothing and Mayweather gets everything? Of course Mayweather will take it. Even he is not that chicken. Pacquiao is no saint you know lol. Now you want your boss to use that to get an unfair amount of the prize? And if Pacquiao refuses, he is a hypocrite and is at fault for the fight not happening? Another road block.

Lmao. First you said focus on what both fighters are currently saying, now you're saying something different. The key quote isn't about the charity. Its when Pacquiao says "Mayweather can have the money he wants" and "Money is not the issue". What exactly do you consider an unfair amount if Pacquiao - YESTERDAY - said that Mayweather can have what he wants?

btw I completely recognize that you're either an idiot or a troll, but I just think your posts are funny.
