      Exactly. His guarantee for this fight was $100m. Now why would he take half that for a rematch of a fight he won? To prove he "really won"? Well, I understand why Pacquiao fans wish he would and I understand why Arum is selling them those woof tickets.

I understand why the idea of a rematch is something you desperately want to come to fruition but it's a pipe dream. You have Arum saying they deserve more than 40%. They're playing a fantasy for you.
        you know not everything has to be a 2-hour long, 50 post argument.

        especially when you don't even know what a guarantee is.

        guarantee is just a minimum and only takes effect if a card doesn't do well.


        i think there will be a rematch.

        no i don't really care if there is or isn't.

        i think it'll still make money. just a guess.

        reply and make your points and our conversation is done.

            No need to catch feelings, Tua. You can leave the conversation whenever you want. You think it'll happen and I understand why you, as a diehard Pacquiao fan, believe so. The reality is, in order for that to happen, Mayweather's going to have to agree to make half of what he made before. Usually, rematches occur because the money motivates them to do so. In this case, you're saying he'll just take half because? Well because as a Pacquiao fan you really hope so.

              Well it just goes to show you that they aren't always easy to manipulate as you said before. As it relates to what we're discussing, they aren't buying it at all. So no, the media isn't eating anything up. Just some fans.

                TR would need to get someone to guarantee Floyd's $100 mil payment and be willing to take a huge loss just so Manny can get redemption.

                I'm sure there is a sucker somewhere over in Macau who can waste $100 mil the way I use toilet paper to bankroll that effort. I'm sure ther is some philipino businessman/woman who would be happy to pony up that much to help Manny get redemption. Hell, Manny could use his influence in politics to get the Filipino gov't to pony up the dough.

                Fans wont buy it so whoever puts up the money will lose huge, but if Manny wins they may get to do the 3rd fight which would be massive.

                Disgusting if it happens.

                  People are forgetting as well, that after surgery, Pacquaio will be physically worse than before so his chances of winning will be even slimmer in a rematch. He's no longer 26, he's 36 - far from a spring chicken. Look what happened to Martinez after surgery.

                  To top it off, Mayweather Jr is always better in rematches. Pacquaio's chance of redemption was lost when the final bell rang on May 2nd.

                      it's not catching feelings.

                      you have a tendency to keep arguments going longer than needed.

                      if it's a position i care about i'll keep going.

                      this not much. if they do, if they don't, not my problem. just giving my 2 cents. no one really know atm.
