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

[Pacquiao'd]

floyd bring much more money to the table, 60/40 is extremely fair

[AP♠]

The "clean up the sport" thing is semi-B.S. Mayweather honestly thinks Pacquiao is using PEDs. Hell, a lot of people do. The whole "clean up the sport" movement was accidental. I highly doubt that was Floyd's original intent, but it still makes sense. Why not help clean up the sport? It also aids in forcing Manny to take the test. He and Mayweather are the most recognizable boxers on the planet, it looks su****ious when 1 isn't willing to "help clean up the sport".

Mayweather is smarter than a lot of you give him credit for.

While i respect your answer i just cant find it in me to agree to all of it.



If thats what floyd thinks then why not say it.He was asked by larry merchant does he think pac is using steroids.His reply was no,he just wanted to clean up the sport.I think he's smarter then the usual because of suspsicions.But after a career long? Plus pac NEVER REFUSED to take the test.Not once,thats what ppl get wrong alot.The debate was about the length of testing.Im sure every boxer wouldnt want blood drawn out days before the fight.

Are you serious?? Everyone is slayin' Manny?? I think it's vice versa, homie.

Floyd is being difficult aswell but every1 here is only blamin' Manny for everything. Except for that Azteka dude.

All Team Mayweather has to say is numbers dont lie, however Team Pac is trying hard to get the numbers to tell lies. Arum and company need to just accept that their outflanked in all sides.

Some of you guys act like you didnt see this comming. This is all more build up drama to hype the fight and get us all talking. I have a feeling this fight will be made by July 4th, a perfect strategic time to make it viral.

Because he's in the position to do it now. If he was a no name fighter no one would pay attention. But now that he's the biggest name in boxing he can do it, and people pay attention.

Aren't you on the message boards talking about it?

Brother you cant be serious.I didnt know a boxer could get so much recognition attention off of random blood tests.


According to you mayweather is "now" the biggest name in boxing.What happened to the Ghatti years,the baldimor reign defeat (to claim "lineal" champ),the judah brawl,he wasnt BIG back then? Why a career length to wip tests out?


While i agree to the testing,because at least it'll prove the fighters ARE CLEAN,i dont get why it took this long.Just a sense of su****ion on Floyd's head thats all.

Floyd and his money.. Fight for legacy already!

FLOYD AND HIS MONEY ... IM SICK AND TIRED OF "MONEY" ****... if FLOYD wants to go down in history as one of the GREATEST boxers.. he'll take the 50-50 opportunity and take down PAC. FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.. fight for LEGACY.. FLOYD IS RICH ALREADY.. he's just shady that's all...

[King Ju-Ju]

Every1 here is so sure Foyd can whip that ass. Even I think he can, so how about winner takes 60-40???

These two Females better reach an agreement. i seriously thought Pacquiao would initialy laugh in Floyds face ,accept the test in a heart beat, and embarrass Floyd by Knocking him out and retire. But noooo...Pacquiao trys to sue Mayweather, not take take the test, and give sorry excuses in Floyds face. If someone accused me of taking steroids in a serious way, i would take it as a complement and knock him the F@ck out on fight night.

Floyd isn't a saint, but it looks really bad for Pacquiao, if you ask all of the actual Fighters who are not involved with the "wild card", the majority want him to take the test, its just the fans that dont. Just like cotto said, "if you have nothing to hide, then whats the problem?"

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.

He can try. You are what you think you are worth and either can walk away.
50/50 is fair. Floyd ddserves no less but I can't argue with Pac if he says that he is no less than a 50/50 fighter.
If this fight doesn't happen where does Floyd go? Manny seems to be eyeing Margarito, Shane or Berto. Sometimes people get shot for fiity cent because of the point and Manny may feel like hey I will not bow down and that's it.
Floyd has the numbers leverage maybe but manny may be "thinking" Floyd "needs" this payday better than me based on his spending habits so maybe I will wait him out or see if he will take 8 to 10 to fight Paul Williams. They both could lose this big payday but pride many times is bigger and Floyd seems to put much emphasis on money more than pride, at least thats it seems.
