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

[War Dinamita]

LATE LAST YEAR.. 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 this year's FEBRUARY NEGOTIATIONS ?!?!?!? Besides, FLOYD is RICH already, throwing away an opportunity to be GREATER and take down a TOP DAWG in his era.

LOL! Cotto is the 3rd biggest draw in boxing and you're going to compare him to JMM who never sold millions of PPVs, lol. Compare Cotto vs. Manny to Shane vs. Floyd and tell me who sold more PPVs. Mosley is not an A-side boxer and never sold millions of PPVs.

Floyd retracts both offers

DAMN!! Floyd being a ***** again about another demand.. PAC met 2 big demands from FLOYD one in FEB.. the 50-50 split and LAST WEEK the 14 day-cutoff... and NOW the dude retracts BOTH offers .. damn, what's his REAL agenda...

[The Comedian]

pac vs shane would have done 1.5 mill minimum.

Yup that makes since. I forgot that the three common opponents that May and Pac have, Pac's PPV's always came out on top.........

[Tweezy316]

I agree.........*****s are so stoopid...money splits always come down to how many internet sites have a fighter ranked number 1
Something Frazier didn't understand in his rematch with Ali.....how ****** of Smkin Joe......he should have paid some nerds to make more internet boxing sites to rank him number 1....he could have gotten a bigger slice of the pie!!!!



Dumb *****ronic nation just doesn't get it........Floozy is CLEARLYU ducking the hero of Asia...quack quack!!!!


IMA DOG, IMA GORILLA........IMA GORILLA, IMA DOG!!!!!!!!! I TALK THE MOST ****!!!!!!

This is a classic lol

Broham, I don't think even the biggest ***** would agrue that Pac isn't popluar. But popular isn't what matters when it comes to who's the bigger draw. 24/7 is a good tool, but it doesn't promise that a a promotion is gonna be successful. Calzage-Jones tanked. Pacquaio had 24/7 with de la Hoya nd Hatton and Mayweather outdid him 2:1 with the same opponents. Pacqauio-Cotto had 24/7, Mayweatehr-Mosley outdid it. I don't think your being realistic bro. Mayweather is just a bigger draw than Pac anyway you look at it and is in no way outta line for asking to be compensated for it a potential promotion.

Calz/Jones had a 24/7? I actually attended that fight live, packed house but we all knew and expected the eventual outcome. I'm sure the larger public knew this as well and didn't want to invest in what they saw as one fighter on the way to retirement versus a fight who had seen his best days years before, there was no intrigue in that fight.

The numbers remained the same prior to the last negotiation and not a whisper from the Mayweather camp. Mosley/May only slightly outsold Pac/Cotto, the numbers aren't that far apart. My general point is you can't compare Mosley/May to Pac/Clottey and that seems to be what the Mayweather camp is basing negotiations on. Mayweather was a slightly bigger draw before the last failed negotiation, judging by that very same criteria why did he accept 50/50 then?

WHY SHOULD FLOYD GET MORE MONEY.. the following WEBSITES still have PAC rated as No. 1 POUND 4 POUND after the FLOYD & MOSLEY fight.. boxing.about.com, proboxing-fans.com, ring ****zine, secondsout.com, ringtv.com. The other sites are not up to date but still lists PAC on top.

The MASTER of AVOIDANCE will have no CHOICE!!!

LEONARD will iNSIST that BOY continues to PUNK OUT!!!

C'mon man...50/50 is fair considering these are the two biggest stars in Boxing. Both are deserved of an even share and both have a big fan base.

If anything, make the stakes higher and do a 52/48 split with the winner taking 52. Keep in mind as well that both will get % off PPV and gate, so are they really gonna hold up a fight of this magnitude over greed?

Agree. winner could take more if they want, just a betting game and winner takes more. This will break all records and this will be their highest payday ever! for both

I haven't tried to compare Mayweather-Mosley to Pacquaio-Clottey once because it isn't a fair comparison because of the dance partners. But, in Maywather's return, his two PPVs have outdrawn Pac's by 500K buys. That's the issue. Take into account that Mayweather has outdrawn Pac 2:1 in fights with common opponents, what exactly else does he need to do to establish himself as th bigger draw?
