Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: It's 80-20 That Mayweather Fight Will Happen

Funny how he keeps mentioning a 60/40 split. I get the feeling that he was offered less and this is one of the things holding up the negotiations. Has anyone on the Showtime side confirmed the split?

I see you have Floyd problems, READING. Again, where In this statement does Pacquiao say he Is willing to take less then 40% as you claimed In your post


He said if he wants it higher I am happy with that. I will take 40 to 60 I am ok with that for the sake of the fans.

so explain the "if he wants higher"...so u mean to tell me a man named money is going to give a higher percentage that wat is "bob arums" so called starting point? please dont reply to me again..u're deluded and cant believe u were just wrong

So someone clear this up, if Manny accepted Floyds terms why is he saying that he is willing to take a 40/60 split? Did they not say he agreed to that already?

not once..espinoza tweeted that he turned down 40 million 35% ppv...sooo make wat u will of that..floyd said he canth ave 40 million after he turned that down...they are looking for media pressure to make the fight...
40 million 35% ppv is more than enough considering floyd is the A side with everything to lose and considering that i know manny will win and make more in a rematch

If he wants the higher percentage of the purse, dumbazz. Is 60% more than 40%?

if he was talking about floyd giving him more he would have said "if he wants to give me more"..."if he wants higher" means if floyd want more money than 60%...face it bob arum wont let manny be floyd's B side like he needs to be to make this fight...u just want to be able to call floyd ***** so u not willing to accept the truth...

Reading the post throughout this thread is pretty funny. Its the same recycled arguments over and over.

Bingo.. now they arguing about 2009 and the split FFS!!

Yes. Pac made 23 million for that fight cotto made 8. They had it in China because macau paid bob arum 10 million just to have it there. Just to stage the fight in macau they got 10 million. So just you can't just compare ppv buys; you have to compare purses.

floyd made 32 million in a fight that LOST money (so hes not worth that much)
Pac made 23 million in a fight that MADE money

so 60/40 is more than reasonable.

I agree and thats the reasoning for my post... floyd is the one that was complaining about the ppv numbers.

Not what he was saying, Manny just told on himself. He said that if Floyd wanted a higher percentage he would take a 60/40 split, which means Arum/Manny is asking for more than that, more than likely they are still trying to get as close to 50/50 as possible.

This fool just outed himself.

And...
see the ******ity of it all? The best eva stands to make $150 million minimum in a fight that people around the world want to see. Forget about the money. How about the motivation of proving you're really the best?

And they're still not sure whether it would happen or not. Man, if you ask me I hope this TBE guy stays ducking. My disgust with this individual is out of this world. It would save people a lot of trouble if this guy just admit he doesn't want the fight so they can move on.
