Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Had No Choice, He Needs Money

[JLBlades]

You are entitled to your opinion. All we know is the fight is getting made and Manny/bob are accepting terms lower than what was offered when they initially walked away. why is that?

Is that really what happened? Even though we know it didn't, lets say it did. Floyd is getting exactly that-0 cutoff, which was the whole reason we've been waiting this long.

As I said, maybe Manny changed because he needed the money. Teddy Atlas brought up the IRS but I thought that was addressed. Just give me a plausible reason why he didn't wlak away from 0 cutoff and a ppv% lower than 50?

You're all over the place here Dunn.
Simple reason he didn't walk away this time. The offer was fair. First time they balked because of Floyd trying to dictate new rules. I really don't understand how you are so unwilling to put any blame on Floyd for moving the goal posts so much after Manny agreeing to take the test.

Well it's good that Pac needs the money, moreover his career is nearly over so Arum needs to cash out now he couldn't walk away from this one like he did 5 years ago.

dude. 50% and 24/14 day cutoff isn't fair but 40% and 0 cutoff is? that sounds plausible? if so, ok.

OK, so he didn't like the rules-yet he put the same rules on Rios and is accepting them now. Thats the thread topic-Manny went from not liking the new rules to using them and now accepting them. why?

5 years apart, and things change. He accepted the drug testing years ago, but Floyd said he didn't get a PPV cut then. Manny had losses and was willing to take less if that's what it was going to take to get Floyd in the ring.
Why is it so hard to admit your boy is a diva expecting his balls to be licked.

Explain to me how a 50% offer with a cutoff turns to a No cut of PPV after agreeing to the "one" thing that killed the first negotiation. Explain why Floyd was running around saying take the test, we have a fight, changed to you accepted the testing but now you get way less money.

Thread title should be retitled...

"Pacquaio had no choice.. He was never going to ever get a fight with me because no matter what terms I set or whether or not I agreed to them, I was ALWAYS going to pull out."


Floyd Mayweather will NEVER fight Manny Pacquiao.. Not under ANY circumstances...

You heard it first at Max_Power / Elroy1

Junior you never dissapoint....so sad, I mean glad!! (really) that I didn't get the ********. Keep edumucating the boxing public from mom's basement...sorry the cable got turned off due to the late alimony check, had to buy more condoms as I learned my lesson!

when have I ever not said Floyd wasn't that? You can't base my opinion on that based on this thread. Yes, Floyd wanted it his way, but we knew this then. the whole point of walking away was-I'm not giving Floyd his way. yet that isn't what happened. So I asked why?

Come on dude. that isn't what happened. we know when Manny accepted-after it was off table. it was off because Manny kept holding firm.

My guess-Manny walked away and Floyd decided he was going to make him pay. It was petty and unnecessary. Floyd easily could have given many the 1st deal again. Again, this stuff isn't the topic of the thread.

Just happy its signed!

Floyd is that lame, ugly ninja from school that had no game whatsoever but always had a bad b1tch with him cuz he had the vansons, pelles and new Jordan's every month.

I was reading your post and thought to myself "This guy is from New York". And lo and behold you are lol. Only a new york *****s mention **** like this as fly at the time.

I hope Floyd goes full villain for this one. Get people emotionally invested please and thank you.

I specially loathe talking about money instead of the fight and the fighter...but for those who doesn't have a clue, if I may interject...

1 US Dollar equals
44.25 Philippine Peso

Meaning an average $20M fight of Pacquiao equates to 885M in Philippine Peso (as per latest Dollar to Peso). And standard of living is obviously lower in the Philippines, meaning one's dollar (or peso) can go a very long way in there than in the US.

For those who cannot understand that, let me give you a simple example:

***8226; 10 dollar meals buys you a full-lunch (say a McD lunch)...if you take that 10 dollars in the Philippines it is 440 pesos it would buy you about 4-5 meals for the same lunch...and you can buy cheaper meals also if one goes beyond McD...


So if anyone thinks that Pacquiao is in need of money, you obviously have no clue. Now chime in all his businesses from real estate (resorts) and properties, groceries to begin with - he is relatively richer than Mayweather who is earning Dollars and spending Dollars (plus higher taxes).

Pacquiao is earning Dollars and spending in Pesos.

Thats truly a great point....

Backpeddling and you're the one who brought it here asking why?
