Comments Thread For: Let's Be Fair To Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Haha. So Manny should accept that $40 million dollar purse for a possible $200 mil fight. You're unfair if you think it like that

Give me one fighter that Floyd can fight for possible $120 dollar purse?

None. But he can make at least double whatever Manny makes...easy. Therefore, before you make demands, keep in mind what your risk-reward is. That's why there's no more deadlines, no more lies. Manny knows he needs this way more than Floyd, and I think, this time, we might just get a fight.

Good piece by Ronnie. People were crying that "Floyd should say something". Well he did and smashed the whole "sign the contract" campaign. What I do find funny is that now people are saying "let's just get the fight done". But a month ago everybody was bashing Floyd. Pacs fans and Floyd haters can't have it both ways. Also nixing the fight it HBO who does not want to do the same deal they had when Lewis and Tyson fought. Lewis was the favorite and Tyson was just fighting for the money at that point and HBO had much confidence in Lewis. The deal was: The winner would get the delayed rights. NOW, they are talking they want both networks to have the rights. Floyd is a 3 to 1 favorite in this fight. Pac is not exclusively tied to HBO but TR is. Arum will have a decision to make. HBO wants him to follow their agenda because they broadcast his fights and they have the power to cut that off. Does Arum really want that to happen? We'll see.

So again tell me...why are you whining about $40m if Pacquiao has "agreed?" What's your cut?

Do you believe yourself when you said Pacquiao doesn't want to fight Floyd?

You're an idiot. Sorry.

Like a said, it was a reality check. Manny can be offended, and he has the right to turn down a $40 million dollar offer if he so desires. However, he'll never see another offer for "$40 million dollars, plus 35% of PPV revenues," EVER. I'm not saying "it's fair," but IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Floyd Roadblocks will prevent this fight from happening and that^^ is one of his roadblock demands.

[Hype job]

I'm tired of all this are they fighting or not? Half a decade of bullchit from both sides.

If it doesn't happen this year I don't even want to see it any more.

Floyd Roadblocks will prevent this fight from happening and that^^ is one of his roadblock demands.

But Pacquiao has agreed to this so-called offer so it's not a roadblock. So why are you whining?

This is what happened: floyd went to Pacs room to beg for his life. Paid Pac huge step aside money and to hush about their deal. Floyd instructs Espinoza to make this a network war deal breaker. There you go folks fight is never happening. FCKN JEFF MAYWEATHER knoes it!!!

[elishua F]

This guy put it nicely but what he basically said is Pac is Arums b*tch who speaks when instructed. . If pac willingly just went along with the 'sign the (non existent) contract' lie, what does that say about his character as a man.. i've always viewed the arum/pac relationship as pimp and **********, they way arum pats him on the head after fights like you do a puppy. .

arum is a liar and scum but pac goes along with the lies hiding behind the whole humble persona, theres nothing humble about beint a blatant liar.

Its time Pacquiao as a man and his morals get put on trial just like we do with floyd.
