Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Tussle Breaks Out Over Fees

you were absent when they were teaching reading comprehension.

the point i am driving at is GREED, not a single Floyd fans cried about greed when Floyd was asking 80%-20% purse split with Pac in his favor.

Hell they even suggested 100%-0% split because they said Pac wanted to fight for free anyways

Now that there is a problem with PPV sharing Floyd fans are screaming GREED.

Now check your reading comprehension again you genius.

This is not a purse split dude. The fighters already finished their negotiation which is why they are training to fight. So what the hell are you going on about with purse splits? This is a network profit division thing. I guess Floyd runs HBO and Showtime sports now huh?

I didn't even quote you rath in my statement , but if you feel the shoe fits....

so Comcast, Uverse, DirectTv get 50% of PPV, and HBO and Showtime get the other 50%. I honestly think it's unfair on the part of HBO and Showtime. The thing is this has always been like this for a long time now..

How much does hollywood pay movie theaters, is it 50%?

Also i'm curious how HBO and Showtime split the PPV? Say 1.5 million buy PPV at HBO and 2 million buy PPV at Showtime, do they combine all PPV and split it 50% or it will depend where you buy it?

It's a joint ppv right down the middle.

and the reading comprehension myth lives on.

let me make it simpler for you.

1. there is a problem with the networks and the distributors about sharing ppv profit, one side wants 70-30 the other wants 50/50

2. some floyd fans are shaking their heads, or whining because they see this problem as a result of GREED.

3. my point is GREED, why are you complaining about ones greed while praising the other.

how will i support my contention about greed if i am not going to show you an example of greed which is the purse split?

here is where you fail, trying to connect purse split and ppv sharing among the networks(SHO/HBO) and the distributors.

the actual connection is GREED and PURSE SPLIT.

that my friend is what you call reading comprehension.

The split you are talking about,to the fighters is after the network cut the money with the distributors. Not before.

60 - 40 on Floyd Mayweather promotion side is reasonable. Floyd done a great job promoting and the timing of this fight is economically in favor with both fighters. MayPac maybe the most profitable fight in history. Hope this fight wont this appoint the boxing fans. Check out http://mp8.ph for PacMan Progress on his training camp.
