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

[pistol whip]

It's halarious that Manny n his team excused ducking Shane by saying he's not a draw and Cotto will bring in much more money, now Floyd not only does 1.4mil buys but it also happens to be the 2nd biggest non HW fight of all time n they still want 50-50? Basically if that was Cotto it could have done 1.6mil. Against every common opponent Floyd's killed Manny. Floyd's got 6.2mil buys in 7ppv fights

Manny has about 5.6mil buys in 11ppv fights lol its no contest. Floyd holds the record for the biggest n 2nd biggest PPV fights, he's got 3 fights in the top 10 biggest live gates for any fight and Manny holds 1.

Floyd deserves more money but I gotta see what he's asking for, if its like a 35-65 than he's fooling himself, 60-40 is still pushing it, 55-45 seems reasonable tho considering his numbers which are consistant and always higher than Manny's

So Floyd getting his way is more important to you than the fight actually happening?

on a serious note, people need to shut the **** up, boxing is a business first, they are doing what all good business do, negotiating!

on another note, Pacs camp is putting the business in the street, thats a real ***** move right there

As if this would be shocking? Didn't Mayweather say this from the VERY beginning after the fight fell through?

Didn't EVERYONE expect him to ask for more if he pulled more numbers and looked better at doing it than Pac?

Also from going with the Pac Cotto PPV logic that would STILL have Mayweather selling more by over a quarter of million buys which is STILL higher. So again, how is all of this surprising?

This is nothing new. I'm actually shocked that it is getting so much attention. Team Pac is literally trying to make it seem as if Mayweather is ducking him. He isn't. Or if he is, he's not trying to do it over money. This information was out there before even the Mosley fight, just like with the drug testing up to fight night. Again, nothing new.

They probably knew that Pacquiao's camp may just be able to go with the OST till fight night, hence theyre doing this to play mind games on Manny's camp and they know this will be hard, if not unacceptable to Pacquiao.


Damn, *****s will be have a hard time on this one. Manny can just kill this fight by accepting the OST but not on the money issue. Its enough for the history books to say that Floyd ducked Manny.

floyd not wanting to fight pac = ultimate ***** move.

real boxing fans don't care about business, we just wanna see the fight. stop giving floyd an excuse to duck pac.

[IMDAZED]

Team Mayweather hasn't said a word so Team Pac is resorting to negotiating through the g****vine.

Really, really pathetic.

I agree!

But on the other side of the fence, transparency prevails over closed door meetings.

It doesn't matter anyways.

Just make the fight happen!

[Boxing Scene]

It's a shame that boxing has come down to this, a megafight which will probably never happen, and it's all based on a drug test and some pay per view numbers. Talk about greed, it's all there.
