Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Pacquiao: You Agreed? You Have No Say!

[bigfo0t]

Mayweather is frunting. Only a complete fool dont see what Mayweather is doin. Why he dont release his PPV #?..GTFOH. Mayweather gonna fight some else..thats all.

lol the last time team PAC asked Floyd to release his own records of the crap Floyd keeps bringing up (drug testing at that time), the Mayweathers' decided to instead pay Manny, settle out of court, and apologize to him publicly

Truth. Nothing to really debate.

"I don’t want to sit here and point my finger at Pacquiao and say, ‘It’s him’. It’s not Pacquiao, it’s his promoter [Bob Arum]. A lot of the time when Pacquiao says ‘I agreed’, you don’t have nothing to do with this. On a chess board you’re a pawn.”

And yet a pawn checked mate a king. I thought it was blood testing all along? I thought he wants to even the playing field? Now that has been agreed upon by Manny, it's Arum all along? Man. If no one can't see the pattern of this fools dodging, bobbing and weaving just to avoid Manny is just mid boggling. If he wants to fight someone, ie, Cotto, Canelo, Maidana, Guerrero, and Ortiz, he was eager to fight them and no f_cking excuses! but when it comes to Manny the boy never run out of excuses. Only fools, blind idiots doesn't see and realize it.

So why did SHO and HBO meet, if Pacquiao didn't agree to Floyd's terms?? A HUGE meeting between network giants would never happen if both fighters didn't agree to terms beforehand!! Floyd is a FCKING IDIOT for opening his mouth and blaming Arum and now dis*****g the terms.

If Floyd wants to back out of the May 2nd fight, then he needs to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT and let SHO protect him!! Let SHO find some dumb loophole to blame HBO for the fight not happening. If the fight doesn't happen, NO rational sports fan will believe Floyd now. Either way, I bet Moonves and SHO are not happy with Floyd.

Floyd and his minions. ****ing disgusting.

"I want to fight Manny Pacquuiao" turned pretty quickly to "I'm nowhere near accepting terms to fight Manny Pacquiao" didn't it. **** me if this fight doesn't get made.

[meme_man]

Both guys need to retire, this is some WWF type ****. Both guys please **** off!!!!

Floyd has the control of his own decision to say "I want to do this" and have those wishes enacted, barring a aye/no from Showtime/CBS.

Pacquiao does not have that control; he can say "i want to do this" but that request would be ignored if Top Rank isn't interested in doing whatever the request was.

When it comes to his boxing career, Mayweather sits and talks with Showtime/CBS, works directly with the MGM Grand, negotiates sponsorships with prospective event sponsors, etc.

In essence, Floyd "calls his own shot"; most people have to "work" for someone eventually; Mayweather works directly with a single TV partner, while Pacquiao works for a guy (Koncz), who works for a guy (Arum), who works for a
guy(HBO).

Wrong! Used to be Ellerbe who do those thing for him, Al guides him and put him where is today. Fans, you and me paid for his fights and gave him his fortune, Sho, GBP (before) cuts him a check, so he is an employee as well. He have a final saying that's true no debating on that. When he want to fight someone he knows he can beat he jump right away, why in the hell he is so hesitant to fight that amateur midget is beyond me.

[bojangles1987]

And you have a boss called Al Haymon. So shut the **** up and go bow at his feet like usual.

What were Maidanas PPV # before he fought Floyd? Im pretty sure Pacs surpasses that..

... Maidana got, once all the money was counted, ~$4m for the first fight and another ~$4m for the rematch. What's your point?

Is Pacquiao ten times the star Maidana is? I don't think so, and the case gets even shakier once you start considering the amount of business, or lack there of, that Pacquiao has done since walking away from $40m offer in 2012.

Mayweather had 'PPV flops' of ~900k buys; Pacquiao did maybe 350k PPV buys for the Algieri fight, 400k PPV buys for the Rios fight, and around 750k PPV buys for the Bradley rematch, with the likelihood that Pacquiao-Vargas, the fight that Arum has been hinting is the Plan B, likely to do 300k PPV buys.

the quick acceptance of a 60/40 split of the take makes absolutely no sense, especially when considering how quietly such a decision was made and how big a factor the purse split was in prior talks.

Damn I don't want to say this too loud but he's right maybe it is Bob Arum road locking this whole thing but one thing I don't understand is what's he talking about when he talks ppv numbers? I mean what kind of numbers was maidana bringing prior to Broner? Not to many people bought pac-algieri cause they knew it was going to be a blowout but to pacquiao's defense there was no one else out there right now they just have to make this fight happen I guarantee ppv numbers would be record breaking when and if this takes place.
