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

[DeadLikeMe]

I think things like this are good news. Seems an odd figure to quote though, hopefully Floyd isn't pricing himself out at 80/20.

[bigjavi973]

He's not in his class dude. First of all Canelo is a 154 pounder. He has KO power in both hands. He has a fan base. Enough where he can do his own PPVs. Yeah they won't sell a ton, but Bradley is not on his level in fighting or marketability.

He beat Trout convincingly.

I stopped reading there. You need to rewatch that fight.

So floyd fights cotto or khan and canelo and wont pass 100 mil. He fights pacquiao ONCE, he gets over 150 mill. I thought he was the "money" man? Cuz thats not a smart "business" decision.

Floyd fights twice (Khan/Cotto in May and Alvarez in September) and likely get +$100m pretty comfortably imo.

Pacquiao fights three times (Jessie Vargas, Arum is somehow able to negotiate with Haymon and Top Rank outbids Matchroom for the Khan fight, and Arum agrees to the 55/45 split for the fifth Marquez fight) and maybe clear $70m.

Money, and the impact of money, is relative. Mayweather would earn double what he's ever gotten for a fight; Pacquiao is likely to earn more than triple of what he's ever earned for a fight, with Arum seeing a massive chunk of that for himself.

Putting $0 into Arums pocket, while still making $100m on your own, seems to have more relevance for Mayweather than putting $30m into Arum's pocket, almost regardless of how much money he'd be getting.

$150m is far too much money for Mayweather to just disregard, so he's going to sit at the table; almost no chance that he ends up offering Top rank even/fair terms, though.

U guys read to much into a guy that barely speaks English.

[mrlopez]

Is a fighters legacy built on three fights or Is his entire career taken Into consideration?




Career PPV Buys

Mayweather: 14.2 million; Pacquiao: 13.6 million

Career PPV Revenue

Mayweather: $860 million; Pacquiao: $755 million

Pacquiao deserves 40%

Someone here actually makes sense.......flo.mo fu.ckboys are idiots. worried about more what their god should make than actually seeing THE FIGHT......fuc.kin weirdo as.s co.cksuckers

Floyd took a 25/75 split when he fought Oscar, who was coming into that fight as a star. Floyd took a 85/15 split when he fought Canelo, who was the undefeated challenger and budding star. Both fights, mind you, were believed to be competitive going in.

Mayweather-Pacquiao, upon the open of the betting line, put Mayweather as a 3:1 favorite. get over yourself.

I could care less what Floyd took to fight Oscar. Get over myself, LOL. You are the Floyd nut hugger who has been trying to convince anyone who will listen why Pacquiao only deserves 25%.

Pacquiao's career PPV stats tell a different story and It doesn't match yours.

Floyd Is the A side and deserves a bigger percentage of the purse and he will get It and 60/40 Is very fair.

Damn even with manny saying basically it's going happen and admitting blood testing was a issue and arum was a issue y'all still in denial lol I guess jesus himself gotta say it and even then y'all won't believe it

Uh....I think he is saying those were the reasons that Floyd gave for the fight not happening before. Maybe, he is saying that he has addressed them in advance so they can't be used as excuses this time.

He agreed to testing last time but Floyd wanted him tested the day of the fight and they didn't want to do that. I'm assuming that he is using Arum's stepson as the promoter representing Top Rank for this attempt so Floyd can't use that one.

Floyd will never ever make more than the $32mil he is guaranteed for his next 2 fights without fighting Pac and that's with Showtime making yet another huge loss.

"eehh yea i think god exists. its 95-5 fercent"

crooked ass politician.

1. R u really using boxing judges to determine how close a fight is. Canelo v trout could've went either way, just like Canelo v Mayweather wasn't competitive despite it not being a ud.
2. Rios moved up in weight but was having problems making 140, and he was coming off a loss but pac was coming off an even worse loss

No. But without ever watching boxing and using common sense, when there is a UD there's usually no way a fighter can scream robbery. That means none of the judges seen Trout win the fight. You can contest a SD going either way. Or even a MD that should've been scored closer. But there's usually no way you can scream robbery when there is a UD.

I watched the Canelo Mayweather fight multiple times. I don't think he won the fight. But Im not a boxing judge nor do I have experience in judging rounds. What I do know from watching the fight multiple times is that it wasn't as easy as Mayweather made it look. Canelo was definitely outclassed. But after watching it enough, it's definitely understandable why a judge may " perceive " it as a draw.

The fight didn't look that competitive when you first watch it. But watching it over and over again it looked a lot closer the second time and third time and so forth. That's why Mayweather should get the upmost respect for defeating Canelo. A dangerous young fighter who was definitely bigger and stronger than Mayweather. And was probably his most dangerous fight of his career taking into account he's no longer in his prime. Here's a guy that had knockout power in both hands and can hit you with some devastating combos which he throws in spurts. His defense is also good even though he faced criticism about that in his previous fights.

Nothing is impossible. But in my time of watching boxing, as far as I remember, I have never witnessed a boxing match where there was a UD and I felt the fight could've went the other way. If there was it had to be a very small percentage of fights and a fight not significant enough to even remember. If you have please tell me. Recently what I perceived as a horrible judged bout was the Hererra vs Danny Garcia fight. If Garcia did win the fight it should've been by SD instead of MD. Another one I remember off the top of my head is Ossie Duran vs Brandon Gonzalez. But I don't even remember if that was a UD, MD, or a SD. I have seen some horrible SD wins that should've definitely went the other way. But I just don't remember off hand any UD's that should've or could've went the other way. Give me some examples.
