Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser Not Giving Up on Mayweather Fight

[TheWinners]

Im tired of people talking about this dumb ****. Tell Pacquiao to go fight Marquez again. **** this debating and arguing. It means jack****. Bottom line, this guy Floyd does bigger and better numbers. And he wants the biggest slice of the pie. And Manny's numbers are horrid and garbage. He doesn't deserve a large payday off of Mayweather's name.

**** this fight and **** all yall. None of you know what's really going on and Im sick of talking about it. Ask Mayweather how much he made vs Oscar De La Hoya. He had to respect the fact that Oscar was the bigger draw. He did bigger numbers period. So Floyd took a stripping but still took the opportunity available and beat Oscar.

I don't wanna hear nothing else about this fight unless it gets made. I really don't even care about it. Let Mayweather whoop Kahn's ass in Britain and still will do more numbers than Manny's last two fights combined. And let Manny fight Vargas or some other ESPN Friday Night Fight fighter. Mayweather is not going to let this guy piggyback off his name and get a career payday. He doesn't need him or need to do that so it's never going to happen.

Before anyone get his/her panty twisted, this sounds like a lame excuse for rejecting the 40 mil offer. We have never heard of a 200 mil purse before. Not even that "shadow" group of Arabs offered that much. So, of course pulling a large figure like 200 mil, will make it seems as though Pac was being short-changed with an offer like 40/200 mil.

My opinion is that no one is trying to make this fight. They all talk like they do, but no one is doing so. If they wanted to make this fight, they would have just make the fight. Plain and simple! I feel Floyd feels like he doesn't need it, and Pac and Arum also feel they don't need it. As Arum stated before that he doesn't stand to make any money from it. People just need to get over this fight not happening.

Whether related or non related, I feel this generation will kill everything that had required, passion, courage, and talent. We live in a marketing era, and perception is key, hence, why this society today needs sheep. I am currently watching everything watered down from sports, to education, to music, and even to damn relationships. Manny and Floyd need to retire but, then again, all these young blood coming up asking for money fights without people even knowing who they are, because someone made the damn mistake and ran a mike by them and asked them a few irrelevant questions about their irrelevant careers. I am done, for maybe I had enough drinks for the night.

Wrong, the purse was $200 million.

The offer that nobody took seriously and rubbished it?

You should read his post instead of defending blindly your hero Floyd. The poster said there was never a $200 million purse offered and he included that group in his post.


The big issue with that one is that it would need to be fought outside USA. That is adding another roadblock ..... funny that you can't take that roadblock seriously but Floyd's roadblocks are OK and should be taken seriously!

Even in 2012 it was said that the purse can potentially reach that same number but even then, Floyd had that flat fee of $40 million for Manny.

"160-40 I'll whoop yo ass Packiyow." LOL. This guys unbelievable.

[Lou Cipher]

I could see a 60-40 split being fair. 40% is 80 mil for Floyd, which is 6-8 months worth of plastic surgery on unfaithful women, record contracts for murdering talentless scrubs, new cars he will never see, salaries for employees of phantom businesses, Gucci fabric wallpaper and a whole bunch of new friends.

Once again, easy solution. Double their biggest payday. Since supposedly manny highest payday is 26 million, he should get 52 million. Since supposedly floyds biggest pay day is 70 million, he should get 140. Manny should not have his highest pay day tripled while FLOYD does not even double his highest pay day. Open the books!

I don't believe the figures rumored in this article, but if they are accurate then Mayweather is purposely outpricing himself.

80 million to pac, 120 to Floyd. That's fair.
