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

[Flash13]

The fight will easily do over $300 million dollars. PPV and gate rev alone will put them at like $270 million. Then there are sponsors and all that good stuff.

Half the ppv revenue goes to the cable providers tho.

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?

Apparently Manny has "agreed"...whatever that means

[wlliam]

You previously said 150 Mil. Did you not? That was my question. Seems like it rounds out to about or a little over 40Mil whether it be 150 or 200. Mayweather deal prior wasn't bad after all huh? In what world should Pacquiao get 80 Mil?

The place you speak of is known as...PAC-LAND. A special place where 300k ppv buys are greater than 800k......bcuz of "site fees" doe

Floyd stated on Showtime that he wanted to fight Pacquiao on May 2nd. WHAT THE F U C K has he done to actually make this happen??? What steps has he taken? All he did was make ******ed excuse after ******ed excuse... AGAIN. Come on Floyd apes, lets hear it? All boxing insiders who actually know anything know Floyd is the one holding up this fight. Every boxing expert, analysts and fighters know hes ducking and knows his resume is S H I T. Full of carefully selected cherry picks. Hell if Floyds dumb a s s didn't get ripped off he may still be retired. Hes gonna be broke again in 10 years and kill himself.. mark my words.

Maybe because...there never was a contract? You're telling us that even if the contracts aren't made, it's cool to say sign the contract? And you're using the Chavez Jr vs Fonfara thing as if it was a very professional thing to do? I'm not understanding. Let's make this **** make sense here buddy. It's not like you can sit here and say Arum wasn't lying at this point, right? Maybe in your mind when they said "sign the contract" it had some cryptic meaning where everyone agreed (even though they didn't), and the word "contract" is just a word to represent that we all agreed and you should get on board as well type ****. But in normal people's mind, when they say "sign the contract", we're actually going to believe that there is an actual contract somewhere out there. But there isn't so it turns out Arum is lying. And don't lie to yourself either because when Arum said sign the contract, you weren't sitting there thinking the "contract" was a metaphor. You believed there was an actual contract out there. So let's not try to decipher the whole "sign the contract" thing into some weird cryptic puzzle and just call it what it is. A lie.

No **** Sherlock, of course their was never a contract. That was one of my points in an earlier post buddy. In my opinion, I don't see the big fuss over the lack of a contract buddy. Team Pac agreed in principle to the terms. It's obvious they are waiting for Floyd to agree to the terms. Yes, Arum was lying. I have no problem stating that. Unlike most people on here, I don't get emotional over one boxer to the next. They came out they said they agreed to all his demands and are waiting to hear back from Floyd. Does that sound like there was a ****in contract? Use common sense buddy. They chose to push a "sign the contract" campaign, they're idiots. They took the spotlight off the big picture, which is, why hasn't Floyd agreed to terms? All it takes is Floyd to agree to terms, end of story.

I'll try to make it easy for you buddy. Chavez vs Fonfara was brought up to contrast this very situation. Which was my response to someone else buddy. Almost every fight is negotiated this way. 2 fighters begin negotiations with their demands, 2 fighters compromise those demands, 1 fighter agrees in principle, the other fighter agrees in principle, lawyers draw up long form contracts, deal is done. They can announce fights, plan fights, schedule fights without contracts being signed. That's common practice. People are up in arms because of course theres no fight because theres no contract, bull****! Fights are announced all the time without contracts being signed yet,hence the term, "agreed in principle."

Do you not think Floyd harms African Americans by perpetuating the stereotype of blacks being violent women beaters?

I think blacks should rise up and publicly murder Floyd.

No one disputes that. We should all know that by now. My post still stands, the fights generates $300 million easy from all rev. In the very least.

1% will go to Pac. And That's being generous. *Takes off FL o m O Hat*

1. He went to the same game Pacquiao was attending
2. Approached him to talk, and got his number
3. Went to his hotel
4. Got the little rat Michael Koncz to admit he is lying.
5. Got his lame ass personal journalist/cheerleader to turn on Pacquiao and outright call Pacquiao a liar and basically call Pacquiao a dumbass for having the people he has around him.

Floyd just humiliated the whole Team Pacquiao and everyone associated with him, so badly, that Pacquiao's long time cheerleader just did a 180 degree return and is now praising Floyd and bashing Pac/Koncz/Arum.

Ronnie just politely called Team Pac, "frauds" and you and the rest of the ****s can't take it

With the meeting, the FH article from Ben Thompson, and now this article from Ronnie, you all got your little ******s pushed in.

Yeah, it will feel like Pacquiao will get 1% of the share, because Koncz and Arum are going to take everything else from him and he will just smile and claim loyalty to Arum
