Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: UAE Group Up Offer To Floyd

[Larry the boss]

These guys always make these huge offers but no one ever fights for them. Why do I get the feeling the only way "UAE Group" will release the $200 Million dollar site fees is if Floyd and Manny Moneygram $350 to Nigeria to help them get released from a refugee camp?

lol..so you get those emails to???lol

Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson got dropped from sponsers just with allegations of abuse. Floyd has pleaded guilty and done time for his indiscretions.
When he did and At&t spot a few years back the company came out and said they were not endorsing Floyd but rather a boxing event he just happened to be a part of.
The President invited Pacquiao to the White House during a campaign year, pretended to not even know who Mayweather was in an interview.
No I don't think Floyd would be able to get any major endorsement, he is too toxic and has a propensity to break laws and and have to defend his support of Ray Rice in a major cable interview with Rachel Nicols just days before his last fight. No major company is willing to take that risk. I work in PR, I know that game well.
That's why he resorts to making his own TMT shirts that look like they were printed up at a local mall on a Hanes T.

Shh shhhh...no logic allowed in here.

Plus there's the whole, Floyd-still-managed-to-lose-money-on-his-last-fights thing.

MayFloyd Jr will not leave Las Vegas for sure, so forget the offer...

That is some shady shiet.

Floyd Isn't Leaving Vegas; His Fire Insurance is He Owns Vegas, Judges, Referees

And he owns the Nevada Athletic Commission. In the case of a close fight, Floyd makes sure financially he is favored in all aspects of a fight. Truly a home field advantage. Floyd not only is scared to fight Manny, Floyd is afraid to leave home. Floyd doesn't knock anybody out (2 guys in 9 years!), so he's dependent on judges & referees to favor him in each fight. He can control that no better than at home where he can payoff anyone. Floyd isn't fighting Manny for any amount of money.

crazy money. only an idiot would turn this type of cash down

[Outwest Exp 355]

Just hurry up and make Manny an offer so he can turn it down a third time.

[DadeCounty305]

how much are they offering pacquiao?

Weeks ago when it first came out, they said 80M.

This guy knows what he is talking about ^. All Mayweather had to do was control his emotions and not hit a woman, stop sounding off on great fighters and dissing them, and become an endearing star who people respected and admired. Instead he climbed into a role in the Oscar fight because as he said "someone needs to play the bad guy" and he hasn't stopped playing that role since. He was becoming of a role that he liked too much and either couldn't or wouldn't shed. He alienated himself and then wondered why no one spoke affectionately toward him. The true meaning of a self-fulfilled prophesy from his character change during the Oscar fight buildup. He made his bed and has to lay in it. And when Pac came along, and people admired him more, Floyd's jealousy got the best of him to the extent of a racial outburst which further alienated him from a public that has wanted to embrace him but he made that possibility too difficult. And sponsors see him as the collective of his controversy and his arrogance. Like you said, he is toxic.

[SterlingStained]
