Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao: Floyd Mayweather Demands More Money

[socram22]

Why is this even an argument?

Every time Floyd and Manny fought the same person, Floyd always outsold. Of course he should get a bigger split. Hell floyd vs de la hoya did over a million more ppv than pac vs de la hoya and had a way higher gate. floyds fight with marquez did more ppv than pac vs marquezs fights combined. What kind of ppv numbers has mosley ever put up, even against de la hoya, mosleys numbers were weak? that was all floyd. Floyd vs Clottey would have at least done over a million ppv and even with 11,000 in attendance at the MGM would have been a bigger gate than cowboys stadium.

"Most people who aren't Mayweather fans consider him to be a pure punk, he's a talented coward the way they see it, and I disagree with that. I think this kid can rumble, I think he can stand in there and rumble a little bit. My impression of the fight? Shane's gonna come out and hit Floyd in the mouth, and Floyd is gonna sprout a tail, grow wings, draw fangs and claws and turn into a Dragon in the ring; And he'll start spittin fire balls." - ****m Richardson

Please never get high off your own supply. I'm on Pacs' nuts but you're the guy who needs to make life size posters of your man crush to include in everyone of your posts. You're so full of **** you come off as transparent, anytime someone challenges your posts, you claim this magical ability to cite "facts", your supposed "facts" are akin to taking a truth and stretching it so far out there without a hint of context in your argument, you're an empty shell which is probably why you went from Green K to Red K all in a span of 24 hours. You think you have some vast knowledge/resource that no one else is able to tap? I know you always claim you're respected, still trying to figure out by whom....

Your a SUCKER plain and simple. Just reading your post right now
proves that. I get respect because I give respect not because I
claim to get it. The only people who have problems with me are the
ones that don't like to hear what **** is really about and that's YOU.
All you do is come on here, talk **** and call people names and
talk about nuts. Your useless on here. Perfect name for you is
Switch because that is your M.O. and you probably do that when
your walking down the street. All I do is talk about reality and
most people on here (like yourself) always have some disrespect
and slick talking to post instead of talking about actual fights and
boxing.

Having knowledge is being able to see and differentiate through
what's real and what's not and clearly you haven't reached
that level yet because your trying to condemn me for speaking
with knowledge. When have you ever heard me disrespect ANYONE
on here when I post and talk about any fighter/boxer? My posts
are about what's going down inside and outside of the ring AND
when I am wrong, I man up and still give fighters their props even
if I am not a fan. That's clearly something you can't do because
all you do is make excuses and rant and rave. Get a clue man!
You are on Floyd's nuts because you hate him and anyone else
who is a fan or a supporter. By the way, giving people red K because
that person doesn't like what you said about their favorite fighter
is GAY.

@Socram, true but when Floyd fought Oscar, ODLH was considered still close to prime. When Manny fought him, Oscar was considered very faded but everyone still thought he would win. It's not Manny's fault as he moved up in weight he fought the guys later than Floyd did. Floyd retiring hurt himself and he wouldn't even be back if he didn't throw all his money away and end up in serious debt. I believe 60-40 to the winner is right and fair. The problem with boxing is the champion usually gets 66% and the challenger 34%. I have always been a fan of winner getting lion's share. That would help prevent fighters like Clottey, etc who mail it in because their check is guaranteed.

Mayweather right now is in a position where he can bully Pacquaio in negotiations, and he's doing it. Is it in good taste? No. Is Pac himself to blame? Absolutely. Because had Pac just agreed to the what was suggested in mediation, Money wouldn't be in a position to bully him. Now, Money in his return has gone out and beaten better competition and clearly established himself as the bigger draw. Everyone will say Mayweather-Mosley only did 150K more buys than Pacquaio-Cotto and that's true. But, since Mayweather's return, he's outdrawn Pac by 500K PPV buys in their two PPV events respectively. And 500K is more than $25M in revenue. If Pac really wants this fight, he's gonna have to accept that he's the B side of this particular promotion. And if he indeed is serious about making this mega event, he's gonna have some things dictated to him and his gonna have to accept it.

Mayweather is the bigger draw. Everyone should be expecting this him to get more money, no if, and's, or but's about it.

[Chip Rudd]

Dear Floyd,

Pac isn't Shane Mosley, he actually has drawing power. Take 50/50 and just make the freakin fight!!

Grustler:

Know how we know floyd is nice? Cuz he makes the haters buy his fights to see him lose. There are some guys on this board who I swear would give a hooker money not to bl0w them. If you don't let haters hate then you rob them of their essence.

Floyd and his money.. Fight for legacy already!

DAMMIT FLOYD! YOU RICH ALREADY!! YOU THE RICHEST BOXER ON THE PLANET!! Do you really want to throw away the opportunity to beat one of the TOP DAWGS in your era because you want more than a 50-50 split?? Fight for LEGACY man ...

[Illdil]

Well I guess there's no push from floyd for Random blood testing for future events in boxing but oh well...but seems to me where money is concerned it's very close cuz even though PAC did 700,000 some in that fight that was wit CLOTTEY!!!! Frikin CLOTTEY!!! Nobody really knows clottey other than boxing fans who really follow the sport and yes floyd did a lil bit more wit shane than PAC v cotto but still very even..well I won't change my opinion about the most 'annoying overexaturated fight of all time' and that fight still is PAC v floyd..
