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

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

how is it fair for one fighter to basically triple his highest pay day while the other fighter does not even double his highest pay day? 140/60 is the best solution. They both double their highest pay day. Otherwise, open the books. But there is no way one fighter should triple his highest pay day and the other fighter would not double his.

160/40 is this for real. I mean damn aleast 110/90 or 120/80 smh im lost

Floyd may be the A side, but he has to aknowledge that Manny as the B side is what makes this fight so big, and give him a fair share of the purse.

It's such an easy solution, they both double their biggest pay day. 140 for Floyd and 60 for manny. Very simple. No way manny should get 80 or 90 million. That's asinine.

IMO they need to use PPV numbers vs common opponents to create the split.

Anyone who believes the $160/$40 million split is jus ******ed and deserves to keep getting taken for a fool by these articles. U would have to expect this fight to sell at least 6million homes to be able to give such guarantees

This fight will not come close to 6 million homes. I would think It would do maybe 3 million at best, most likely less.

You are correct, after everyone gets a cut $90/$50 million would probably be somewhere In the ballpark.

This Is just a wild guess, no math Involved.

I truly hope that 90 and 50 million does not happen, cause that would truly mean that manny would have almost doubled his highest pay day and Floyd would not even come close to doubling his biggest pay day.

I would think that they should be examined If In fact either one of them would turn down the above mentioned figures.

Mayweather Is 37 and Paquiao Is 36. This Is most likely there last chance at this type of payday.

Wait: I'm not interested in other people's money... I'm only interested in what gloves Pac would use. Not allowed to use his gloves, I'm not interested in anything further... (carry on)...

So if Floyd gets around $90 million you are hoping that Floyd says no to a fight? You truly hope that the fight does not happen?


If they BOTH accept and we have a fight, I wouldn't care at that point who made what.
