Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao Can Forget 50-50 if Our PPV Wins

That's funny cause when you look at the PPV numbers of their common opponents Floyd wins by a landslide and another thing Manny is getting 10 mill for Clottey and Clottey only a million while Floyd stands to make 25-30 million against Mosley while Mosley will make around 15 now tell me who's the bigger name/draw? The great Ernie Shavers said boxing is a sport when your an amateur but a business when you become a pro. Floyd should get 60/40 take it or leave it.

Don't know about that buddy! You're counting the chicken before it gets hatched. Where in heck did you see Floyd being given by GBP a $30M guarantee for the Mosley fight? Or are you just throwing numbers out there? Floyd claimed that Pac/Cotto did better than Floyd/JMM because both Pac and Cotto had a huge following. Don't tell me that the Mexicans did not support JMM at a time when he was considered the best Mexican fighter on the planet. They even had empty seats at the MGM.

Pac's US recognition is just blossoming now. It's sad to think that many Americans are for Pac rather than Floyd...I know this because I'm one living proof my friend. And many of my other friends, including African-American friends. Floyd's arrogant ways and loyalty to the mighty $$$ rather than the fans does not represent America in any way. This is the home of the brave, not the fearful. Trust me, even if Clottey is not a household name, this coming Pac/Clottey fight will do better than those fights Floyd had against no-name fighters. So stop kidding yourself and start facing reality.

floyds out of his fuuckin mind... this is just propaganda

I just don't see Pac vs. Mayweather happening anymore. There is no way Clottey brings in more numbers than Mosley. And it's funny how Mayweather pretty much beat Pacquiao in every way other than actually fighting him, even while being the less accomplished and less exciting fighter.

Mayweather gets the bigger fight with Mosley and Pac's reputation will be tarnished forever even without proof of any wrong doing. People can talk **** about Floyd all they want, but he's a very intelligent guy and it's Pacquiao's legacy that will be questioned. When Pac-Cotto got higher numbers than Mayweather-Marquez, Floyd used the excuse of not having a dance partner.
But how his Clottey a dance partner? Marquez is a bigger name and has a way bigger fanbase than Clottey.

and mosey doesnt either. Mosley and Clottey sells just as many PPV which is nothing. they arent PPV attractions at all.

so lets not act like Mosley is all of a sudden a PPV fighter b/c hes getting ready to fight floyd. mosleys a HBO fighter, always have been, always will be

[mazdaru]

The answer is NO.

gotta be a pacroid trying to save face b.c you know pac-clott isnt going to out sell floyd or even come close

Funny you said that, coz what's even FUNNIER is the fact that Pacquiao was ranked by Forbes ****zine as the #5 top earning athletes in the world. In the world, not the US...tied with Lebron. I would think that Forbes Mag based this on facts rather than personal claims like you did coming out of your ass. LOL. It is no secret that the IRS have been running after Floyd for back taxes. Go all over the net and every time Floyd has an interview, he can't help but mention Pacquiao while Pacquiao doesn't even think of Floyd at all. That is funny! And you're saying 60/40, take it or leave it? You is he dealing with? Edwin Valero?

alibi

floyd is already making alibi not to fight paquiao by asking more money for him, this is floyd propaganda to duck paquiao because he know paquiao will not agree to his another ridiculous demand. what a coward.

Am sure Pacquiao would accept 40% for NO testing.

Am sure Pacquiao would accept 40% for NO testing.

how so?

he barely took 50% with extra testing.

He had NO choice but to take 50%, He would never have gone for anything higher than that because there would be no way Mayweather would have accept less than 50% and Pacquiao's ace at the time was him fighting Cotto which brought in 1.4 million buys compare to Mayweather/JMM which came in at 1.1m.

But since Pac is fighting Clottey he would be prepared to take less than Mayweather if the Mosley fight outsold the Clottey fight. Another thing is Pac would give up % just not to get tested at all.

When Pacquiao fought Cotto, Floyd accused Pac of having a popular "dance partner" for his PPV success. So what is Mosley to Floyd??? Shane may not have passionate fans like Cotto, BUT every sports fan knows the name Sugar Shane Mosley because he is a future Hall of Famer!!!

Remember, Floyd needed a Mexican name like Marquez, a strong undercard and the hype for his return to the ring for his PPV to do well!! Pac-Cotto had a **** undercard and did bigger numbers!! And remember, Floyd fought Oscar and Hatton BEFORE THE ECONOMIC RECESSION!!
