pacquiao is a flop big time. His numbers were around 300.000 ppv's. Thats a flop. And it gets worse. It happend in pacs own asian market. Thats a ****ed up flop. Its gets even worse. The majority of the buys were here in the united states. Flop flop flop flop flop

How can you be a draw when your salary doesn't = revenue? That's economics 101.

I was talking about gross revenue you dum/ f@£±

part of floyds guarantee is cover at the gate. Thats why the nevada commission can pin point the fighters purses. Showtime and mayweather are doing big business. And lets not forget the mayweather promotions was the lead promoter. Floyd mayweather dam near brought in over $ 150 million. No flop what so ever

1 million ppv buys to break even. Floyd did 700-800k against maidana and Guerrero so how did he do big business? Showtime lost money. They're the investor.

Gross revenue doesn't necessarily equate to profit. An event can have 250 mil gross profit but if promotion n guarantees equalled to 251 million then the event is a flop. When you own a businessand at the end of the month you had 25k gross revenue but you profit margin is negative you think your business will stay open?

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum reacted to a recent televised claim made by WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. - who says the veteran promoter, and his fighter WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, are culprits who are preventing a 2015 super-fight from taking place. Arum says his side, including Pacquiao and his team, have tried to do everything possible to get a deal negotiated out with Mayweather.

lol

why folks on this site continue to be oblivious to what's going on is beyond me.

have fun with Pacquiao-Vargas.

At some point, Manny will need to take charge and make things happen with his career. Arum has his own agenda and as long as it remains unchecked, the longer we will be subjected to this constant double-talk. And the longer Pac will be used as a pawn in Arum's miserable game.

I honestly believe the following:

- Pac wants the fight to happen
- Floyd wants the fight to happen
- Floyd really wants nothing to do with Arum (Past experiences) but will put it aside to fight Pac.
- Arum is not going to work with Haymon
- Haymon is not going to work with Arum

What we have here is a stalemate and in spite of all the published BS, this fight is not going to happen as long as Arum is in the picture.

If you don't believe what arum says even though mayweather was saying himself for years he didn't want the fight, just YouTube myqeather bob costas interview, that's fine don't take his word. However you should take the word of 3rd party people who know about the negotiations. For instance, les moonves president of CBS confirmed arum is the one trying to get tue deal done! Also yahoo sports confirmed arum is trying to get it done and mayweathers side doesn't really want it! So you can believe the b.s. Damage control from mayweather or you can believe people who have no reason to lie, and les moonves who would have a reason to lie is even saying it lol

This is why I don't bother with them. Some people don't want to know the truth. Even Moonves confirmed Arum is trying to get this done. If it wasn't for Arum making the effort and going over Mayweathers and Haymons heads we wouldn't have ever even gotten this far. Arums the one trying to make this. It's already confirmed by Floyds boss.

The same people who believe that duckweather wants the fight and arum had been blocking it lol that's so funny to even think, arum would block the biggest fight ever lololol anyways the same people who believe that are the same people who believe o.j. Simpson was innocent and also bill Cosby is being framed by 30 different women lololol

You ****** if you think the fight was made to make money solely on PPV

the fight was made to help pacquiao fight to pay of his taxes. It was a tax free fight. Pacs $20 or $25 million got reduced down to $7mil one the filipines and the united states chewed in for taxeas owed. Then the top rank fees killed it
