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

[Flash13]

can u prove they lost money or you just going by what you hear on Internet? You got inside sources? Showtime have stated they made money on floyd fights regardless if it's a dollar or 1mil they wasn't in red but I guess your inside sources told you they did so we have to go with that arum always makes money on his cards cause his undercards are disrespectful to paying boxing fans

Yes i can, see when you understand the economics of a fight you can easily see the numbers don't add up. I'm done with idiots like you. Just a floyd fan, not a boxing fan. You have no idea about the sport, and when floyd is gone so will you be THANK GOD!!

The percentage part threw me off. Manny says 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.

Can someone try to explain that to me.

LOL, I noticed that too. He will take 40% from like 120 million dollars. I guess he is sacrificing himself in sake of the fans to take so little money so the fight can happen

i just remembered top rank and pacquiao said they'd give floyd until the end of the month, meaning this is the last week, so i guess if nothing happens this week the fight won't happen? gulp if so this is a big week

I hope the fight doesn't happen... For several reasons:

1. Fight is happening at least 3 years too late... Manny would have destroyed Floyd then easily

2. Floyd brought up Pac's PPV numbers in China... so there is no reason for Floyd to negotiate with someone whom he believes is not going to help him sell PPVs..

3. Floyd is putting so many demands on the fight..he's trying to obtain every advantage... it makes the fight less interesting...

4. It is ruining boxing for the 2015... Cotto v. Canelo is already ruined because of Floyd...

5. The more time this fight gets hyped the more boxing will suffer after the let down..casual fans will tune boxing out...

6. Floyd doesn't deserve the split he's asking for and should be doing VADA drug testing not just USADA...

7. I could keep going...

Floyd won't fight a blown up featherweight midget for $150 million but he's going to fight Triple G

Please go check yourself into a mental hospital..you must have posted that message from Shutter Island...

he fought canelo..triple G is literally the ame size if not smaller...and triple g has said he will come to 154 so i'm sure floyd will make him honor his word..and agree if the guy says he can do it do it..
so far we dont know the purse on the fight so dont get ahead of yourself with numbers i think floyd is looking for more than an 80 million purse tho

Manny said on espn interview I think it was he handed phone to koncz and he hung up and manny is not a hypocrite if u scared of needles you should always be scared of needles now drug testing not a problem don't be a homer and look at it from one side I don't have blinders on for neither fighter they both full of sh^t and have been an impediment to fight getting made since 09 but now we as close as ever to it happening since 09 and you guys still arguing over all that sh^t that have happen over years instead of discussing who you think going win breaking down fighting styles but nope yall rather argue who deserves more like yall getting a piece of what they take him lol sad times

There's no point of debating who will win because there will be countless threads regarding that as well. FLOYD and PAC fans won't agree on anything. I don't agree with your statement that if you're weary of drug testing that you'll always be afraid. If he can condition himself differently and he notices no dropoff in his fighting or agression....that can be why he's ok with full random as he is now. It's not the needles that Manny Said bothers him...it's the way he says weakens for a fight if it's too close which he experienced from him Morales fight.

u dont even know teh legit purse so how can u argue a split..no one knows the purse b/c bob wont give details about this so called contract he wants us to believe in.. i'm sure it will be about 70-30 purse probably even 75-25..floyd knows manny is a threat and that he is B side...floyd gone say to be the boss u have to beat the boss..and u also have to pay the boss..

75-25 Is bull****, plain and simple. I guess this will be the ammunition that the Floyd followers will use when Pacquiao decides to walk away from the negotiation table.

Pacquiao deserves 40% period and the following numbers support that fact

Career PPV Buys

Mayweather: 14.2 million; Pacquiao: 13.6 million.
