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

I don't know if floyd is right but it's hard to figure out why manny walked away from 50% ppv split and the 24 and 14 day cutoffs only to end up accepting 40% ppv split and no cutoff.

Hahaha pure comedy gold from you here! You have spent the last few years saying 40mil was a great offer and that he wasnt worth any more, and here you are saying he's a schmuck for accepting 40% of everything!

[QUOTE=jjsmyth87;15404039]Floyd originally wanted a 14 day cutoff, and then moved the date around. He was playing games like he always does. He accused pacquiao of making a career out of calling mayweather a chicken. Then he says things like "Manny pacquiao your next" and then a couple days later changes his tune and says he never said that. Seems like mayweather has been dangling the pacquiao carrot over everyone's head all these years. He said right before the Chris algiero fight he would fire his trainer Floyd Sr. If he mentioned that he should fight pacquiao again. He went on to say he would rather fight 2 bums. The drug testing hasn't been an issue for years. Floyd has been the one running scared, and proved it with that bogus 40 million dollar offer with no ppv split. Now pacquiao has lost twice and hes getting double that? Sounds like mayweather never made a serious offer in the first place, that is so easy to see, yet you mayweather knucklheads are too dumb to see through his b.s., and believe everything he says like its gospel.[/QUOTEOk, but needles made Manny weak too, that's right huh? Plus wasn't there a timArum said dates would be wrong for a fight?

Pacquiao's tax issue was taken care of months after it happened. It hasn't been an issue in years

Who really needed the money was Al Haymon. Hes spending 10's of millions buying timeslots that he forced floyd to take this fight. Thats all there is to it

lol. blatant and all out lie, and you know it. Forbes put up and article aboutthe situation less than two weeks ago, noting Pacquiao's tax debt in the US and PI. $18m tax lien to the US, with the equivalent of ~$75m in assumed tax debt in the Philippines. ha

Yeah, and CBS was gonna drop your Showtime contract unless you manned up, and fought Floyd. Goes both ways assclown.

[Luilun]

No Floyd you were forced by Showtime so stop with the lies

where did I call Manny a schmuck? Yes, I thought he should've taken he $40 mil offer and no I didn't think he was worth more.

He got much more than that and I've acknowledged that he was right to turn it down.

But it's still hard to figure out why manny walked away from 50% ppv split and the 24 and 14 day cutoffs only to end up accepting 40% ppv split and no cutoff.

Floyd is right that Manny had no choice. Manny wasn't making any real numbers so it was time to finally cash out. Atleast Manny made some good numbers while ducking Floyd all these years.

[KRITKL]

Thought Floyd was going to go the respectful route, like he did with Cotto.
Must of heard that Stephen told everyone Les had to force him to accept the fight. Now he's got to try and spin it the other way.

Didint your god not accept the 7 day cutoff testing and testing right after the fight? you can flip the script to fit your agenda, but in the end Dunce, you talk a good game but are full of **** when the chapter ends.

Fight is happening, your flawed logic of pac isnt worth this and that and is ****** etc was proved wrong. Just accept it instead of trying to save your as.s

120millie guaranteed for May, 80millie guaranteed for Pac, not including ppv, gate etc. let that sh.it soak in

Mayweather was the one with no choice here. His deal on showtime was losing money for them. Canelo threatening to take the date. But the nail in the coffin was LarryX saying that he didn't want to see any other fight than PAC for Mayweather.


Larryx says it = no choice

Lets be real though, Canelo vs Kirkland has NO CHANCE at taking no date from Mayweather.

Canelo vs Cotto, yes, but thats with the COMBINED power of Cottos name.

Lets say if the fight fell through with May Vs Pac, and it was gonna be May Vs Khan...Even that would have outsold Canelo Vs Kirkland as far as ratings/ppvs draws and etc.

Delahoya still would have changed the date.
