Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Vows To Not Budge Further To Mayweather

[go1nbanana]

As I read the endless arguments of who deserves a bigger percentage of the purse, I come to realize you guys are leaving out one important factor. If you take away De La Hoya(the biggest name in boxing for years, which neither Floyd or Manny were the A-side) and you look at the biggest names these guys have fought(Mosley and Cotto) the fights did about the same(Floyd number was a little higher). Now what does everybody on Earth say about this fight. They say that this will be the biggest fight of all-time. The estimates are 3-4 million ppv buys and all the other record breaking revenue the fight will bring in. Why is that? Why out of all the fights boxing has ever had will this fight be the biggest? Simple answer folks. The reason that this fight will shatter every money making record out there is because of the two men who will be fighting. The men that will be fighting are the #1A and #1B best and most popular fighters in the world you dumb *******s! Floyd can't hit those numbers without Manny and Manny can't hit those numbers without Floyd. They need each other. For that reason, it should be a 50/50 split. We are talking about crazy numbers here folks. Some boxing people think this fight could hit 5 million ppv buys. That's double Floyd and Oscar(the highest selling fight of all time). You don't hit those kind of numbers unless another superstar is standing across from you in that ring. And that's what Manny is, an international superstar. Quit disrespecting him. Give him his 50%.

great post man. i agree.

I thought Pac said he was ready to fight? Mayweather agreed to everything Pac requested in the first round of negotiations but Pac walked away.

Now Pac wants the 14 day cut off and 50% of the money? He already turned that down..... ran away and attempted to fight in court earlier this year.

Just as master coach and 3X trainer of the year Freddie Roach already explained "Pac isn't ready for a fighter like Mayweather". We also know that "Shane Mosley is too good".

What other fight would Pac make equivalent to 40% of the cut fighting Mayweather? I personally think it should be 50-50. My only questions is how did everyone seem to forget that Mayweather said he would do this if he sold more PPV's than Pac and beat Mosley. Well he did both. He's doubled Pac's last fight and he's doubled Pac's biggest PPV numbers. Plus he beat (the old, over the hill, washed up etc etc etc that the haters like to call him) Shane Mosley, the fighter that Pac's camp said was "too good".

PBF doesn't want the fight. Even with all the "yes men" around him pumping him up, he knows he's gonna get KTFO....plain and simple. While he's shooting up his hands with lidocaine, he might as well shoot up his face, so he doesn't feel the beating.

What other fight would Floyd make equivalent to 60% of the cut fighting Pac?

You kidding me? Last time Floyd fought Mosley, my street was packed with cars because friends came over to my black neighbor's house to watch. I don't have any idea how they fit in the house.

Manny should just accept he is not the biggest draw here and accept the money he is offered.

50-50 is fair

That's right Manny doesn't care about money he fights for awards. Just leave the 60 percent to Floyd and Manny can console himself with his FOTD trophy.

What does a FOTD trophy have to do with fight revenues?

How many FOTD awards do Oscar, Tyson, or Holyfield have?
