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

[HanzGruber]

Floyd $160 million vs $40 million for Manny .....

and people (ie. Floyd fans) ask why it was rejected the first time. This number needs to change or else we will not be seeing a fight ...... AGAIN!

Money doesn't matter to manny tho.

[iloveboxing2]

120/80 split is fair but if 20% was offered, Pac should take it and just let the fight happen and just get even inside the ring. Make sure it's tax free!

[Pigeons]

$200M in guaranteed purses for a fight that would sell 2-2.5M PPVs.

[ADP02]

Mayweather would make nowhere near $160 million unless this fight sells over 5 mil ppv.

This is NOT the first time that this number has been said. Read below.

The thing is that Manny's was a flat fee but Floyd's, while it can be less, it has the potential to go up to that much and even more according to what has been reported .......

I have always been baffled by the 40 million dollar offer. Floyd and his fans always hang on to that but how exactly was that supposed to happen? He sends PAC 40 million and just like that we have a fight? What about all the other things that go into making a fight?

Dan Rafael (ESPN)
Exactly. What they also forget is that it was a flat fee with no participation in the overall revenue. Manny and Top Rank would be total morons to take that deal. Why would you take such a small piece of a pie probably worth $200 million or more? ******ity.

ONLY you and a few others don't get what that means.

The cable providers take half of that 200 million.

Mayweather can have what he wants. Money doesn't matter. How else is that supposed to be interpreted?

Can you post a link where Floyd says he'd give Pac some PPV % as well as the 40mil? I remember you talking about ppv% on top of guarantee.

3 million ppv at $64.95... It's doable. But i doubt he gets that much up front tho.
