Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr: "Pacquiao Better Step His PPV Game Up"

[Stuey's Revenge]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has told WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to step his pay-per-view game up if he wants to come to the negotiating table. The hard line by Floyd is setting the stage for what many have expected - a battle over who receives the most money in the fight. The dispute over the issue random drug testing may become a secondary problem. During an interview with krikya360.com's Ryan Burton, Mayweather made his position very clear.

Floyd's trying to make it even harder for the fight to be made. That ***** doesnt want Pac. First,OST. Now,who gets bigger piece of the pie.

Floyd's an undefeated,multiple time champion,american boxer fighting in America. He's supposed to do bigger numbers than Manny. Manny/Marquez in the phillipines > Mayweather/Marquez in the phillipines. It's absolute common sense. I guess all floyd knows is boxing.

Oh how I miss the days where the best fought the best. It wasnt about the $$$$$ or ****ing drug tests. If Pac is such easy work for floyd,quit making it so damn hard for it to happen. If I were Manny,who is set for life financially, I would tell floyd to **** off. Manny should continue to go after the real welters floyd either ducked or hasnt fought yet. Manny vs Margarito,Cotto 2,Mosley,or Berto would still make Manny at least $10-15 million. **** floyd!!

kadyo...how about you be serious for once.


If this fight (May vs Mosley) does over 2 million PPV buys what right does Pac have to demand 50%????

Please explain your resoning to me......i'm lost.

I don't care about PPVs blah blah blah, floyd is talking about another excuse. We all know that the biggest fight for floyd out there is pac. That's all.

part of that in the negotiating process will make the fight. dont try to kill this fight with a 60/40 in favor of floyd. its the biggest money both fighters can make. dont get **** twisted because floyd is 40/0 and pac 50/3/2

that's not a reason.....you or fans not caring is completely irrelevant......i would rather he offer 50% so Pac and his fans can't use it as an excuse, but from a business perspective the man proven to be the bigger draw demands the majority of the purse split.....thats how it works and always has worked.........the reason it was 50/50 the first time around is because they both came in with comparable PPV numbers.......it would be ****** to not demand 60% if May vs SSM did > than 2 million at the PPV.

Yes the whole interview was just this, he talked about Pac and left. They choose just to make a Pac related report, so thats what we're left with here.

[Bhopreign]

Pac drew 700K with a nobody....his PPV numbers are just fine. Him and floyd could break 3 million, maybe 4 million. Pac and Floyd are by far the most entertaining on 24/7.......

in saying that......Pac and arum are delusional if they think they can demand 50% if this fight does > 2 million PPV buys.....even more delusional are Pac fans who think demanding greater than 50% with numbers like that behind you is a "duck"....plain ignorance of what purse split negotiations are based on.

And he only drew 1.25 with a somebody. Floyd did 1 mil with a guy who jumped up 2 weight classes and I wont even bring up the Oscar numbers. Pac numbers leave much to be desired when it comes to Floyd.

Fight is going to be 50/50... if Floyd ask for more.. he ducking Pac again..

Wins, losses and belts or P4P status are not the overriding factor in purse splits.....something Frazier could never understand when he fought Ali.......the man who puts more bums in seats and gets more ppl to part with their money gets the larger share in almost all cases......what happened to Pac being willing to fight floyd for free???

based on what???

i would agree that Pac deserves 50% if this fight does 1.5 mil buys or under. what if it does over 2 million....or 3 million??? what basis does Pac have to demand 50%?????
