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

[flint]

All roads lead to floyd mayweather.

Floyd said a long time ago that next time around there would be no cut off and if he did more ppv buys then pac-clottey he would ask for a bigger split. So why are you *******s acting like floyd all of the sudden ducking? And why wouldn't he ask for no cut offs isn't that what mosley did? And why wouldn't he ask for a bigger split doesn't he sell more ppvs? You guys are unbelievable. And what happened to all that talk about not negotiating in the media? I guess that went out the door. Since Mayweather fought Mosley all they have said is that they haven't been negotiating with anyone. But how many times has Team Pac been in the media talking ****? Exactly. Mayweather never changed his story like Pac did on why he doesn't wanna take random blood test. Or how Arum said he wouldn't negotiate in the media but yet everyday team pac has said something. And for those of you who say that there is noone that floyd can fight that will make him as much money as he would get fighting Pac lol. Floyd made $40 million fighting Mosley. How much did Pac make fighting Clottey again? yeah nuff said. Anyways i'm tired of floyd vs pac. It's time to move on yeah it's the fight everyone wants to see but there is too much BS i've already lost interest and i'm sure i'm not the only one that feels this way. Pac go your way and Floyd go yours.

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.

Again coming from the guy who feels a need to incorporate life size posters of his hero in every post he makes. It really took you that long just to come formulate that response? I can see clearly why you're respected. Having knowledge means also having the ability to take factual information and apply "rational" perspective with a hint of context, not fandom...which you clearly provide on ongoing basis.

@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.

How did floyd's retiring hurt him? He came back and beat the #2 P4P and #3 P4P/#1 welter and sold close to 3 million ppv. He could have been a 7 time world champ but didn't care about the belt. making over $70 mil in 2 fights! The only way it kind of hurt him was losing #1 p4p which manny reveived via default because floyd retired.

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.

Its not even. You know like the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6.

1.4mil is 150k more than 1.25mil. Any way you cut it.
150,000 x $59.95= $8,992,500

Well, I can see nobody is listening. Manny fans think 50-50 is fair, Floyd fans think he should get all the money (especially since Floyd is now Floyd "I aint got no mo money" Mayweather. Bottom line is, Mayweather needs the money, Pacquiao does not. If Floyd demands the lions share and doesn't get it, he doesn't get d**k. He says he make $20 million fighting anyone but he didn't get that for Marquez and he won't get that for Sergio Martinez or Paul Williams. So other than Pac, who does Floyd fight? Pacman already stated one more fight and I retire a billionaire Filipino with another job in public office already secured. Pac doesn't get the $40 million payday either but come on, who needs it more. The $20 million (closer to $10 million after taxes) paid off his debt. So he is debt free but still has no money of his own. If they can't agree, EVERYONE LOSES and boxing will continue and as long as we get the Yonnhy Perez's, Abner Mares', etc., the sport will survive...

Floyd and his money.. Fight for legacy already!

AFTER PAC BEAT COTTO made 1.25 MIL and FLOYD BEAT MARQUEZ made 1.0 MIL... DID PAC ASK FOR MORE THAN 50-50 back in FEBRUARY ?!?!?!? Besides, FLOYD is RICH already, throwing away an opportunity to take down a TOP DAWG in his era.
