That was a lowball of an offer at the time. Do you even look at the numbers before talking ****?
Pacquiao vs Cotto 1.25m buys @ $70 million [November 14, 2009]
Pacquiao vs Clotty 700k buys @ $35.3 million [March 13, 2010]
Pacquiao vs Margarito 1.15m buys @ $64 million [November 13, 2010]
Mayweather vs Marquez 1.1m buys @ $55.6 million [September 19, 2009]
Mayweather vs Mosley 1.4m buys @ 78.3 million [May 1, 2010]
It didn't even make sense for Floyd to take the vast majority of the revenue for the fight, considering their numbers were close enough. Pacquiao was undefeated at this time. Heck, his next two fights (Mosley and Marquez III) on PPV sold 1.34m and 1.4m, respectively. That would be absolutely ******ed for any boxer or adviser to let the fight happen with such an obvious lowball of an offer.
Of course, Pacquiao was on PEDs. Just like Floyd. Just like Marquez. Just like AJ. Just like Klitschko... the list goes on.
Lowball yeah right. 40 million guaranteed. Pac already got KO'd twice in his career, roided up, got beat by Morales, then Arum classic excuses for rematches starts.
