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

He didn't go to the media, the media came to him. They asked a few questions and he gave an honest response. Not only that but he has already responded to Floyd proposal and is just now stating to the media what he told Floyd's team a few days ago.

LOL. Ok, the media came to him. The point is, he and his team need to be tip lipped about the negotiations (if they are actually going on). No need to keep talking about it to the media. If both sides are going to do business and get it done, the media is the last place they need to go with it.

That dude is a f$##in idiot who will believe anything Floyd says.. and he is still banking on Pac to be on PED's cause he probably bet on Delaquitter..

Lol bookies and casinos screwed alot of people over by set 4-1 odds for Pac to lose.

Im talking about THIER upcoming fight. If it really does 3 mil buys there is no way Floyd brougtht in 60 % of the people. If he consistantly did 2 mil buys or close to it then yea he deserves it but he did nowhere close to that.

Floyd picks the fights that bring in the most money but pac doesnt. Im sure pac knew he wouldnt get much PPV buys when he picked clottey and could have done more against other fighters.

If there were any 2 fighters in history that deserved a 50/50 split its these two

like who?who are these other fighters?pac doesn't care about money yet the ricky and oscar fights both had problems over money from pacquiao side

[Russian Crushin]

floyd did get the bigger % than ricky and always gets the bigger % except in his fight with oscar.manny clottey split was 10/90 what kinda **** is that?so stop tryin to make manny out to be some saint when he is much worst than floyd is,atlkeast floyd has been in this position his whole career manny just got to where he is at and now acts like he is the king of the world

90/10 split? where did you read that? Clottey shouldnt have been payed anything for that fight. And you tell me how many people would Clottey have attracted if manny wasnt there? Maybe 3000- 50000 people and thats it if hes lucky

point is everyone says manny doesn't fight for money but history proves otherwise.why didn't clottey deserve anything?because he didn't do much?manny still looked kinda beat up against a fighter who didn't do anything

Look EVERY SINGLE elite fighter cares about money, EVERY one of them. He is at the top and wont be screwed over by anyone, no matter who it is......All top fighters are like this, they fought thier hearts out to be where they are and at this point it becomes about principle, and nobody is gonna swindle the P4P fighter and the champ

If Manny didnt care about money he would fight for free

He knows when a fighter is due his share unlike Floyd who has dispute and fights falling through in almost all of his negotiations

I think you have Floyd confused with Manny. Either that or you just like making up **** because you're that much of a d*ckrider.

Ok that 50/50 was fair, I mean pac could have argued in his favor saying that Hatton is not a draw in America and PPV is only in America. If it was Floyd in Pacs position he would have demanded close to a 70/30 split in his favor

not according to Manny



key part

"The parties had agreed on a 50-50 split of the purse, several sources said, but Pacquaio, the pound-for-pound king, subsequently demanded a 60-40 split and the two sides have been at an impasse since."

and here is another where not only do they state the final splits BUT the trouble he gave De La Hoya



Pacquiao took Hatton and his promoters, Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, to the brink and then made them blink. He did the same thing a few months back when he forced De La Hoya to throw him an extra three per cent (62-38 rather than 65-35 split of their Dec. 8 fight) and then made him blink again throughout a one-sided eight round beating that ended only when De La Hoya quit on his stool.

That dominating victory over boxing’s Golden Boy, coupled with the fact Pacquiao believed he’d made him back down in their negotiations as well, led him to some brinksmanship with Hatton that had Schaefer growling, his own promoter, Bob Arum, shaking his head and trainer Freddie Roach in the dark until all sides relented on their insistence that the purse be split 50-50 and agreed to a 52-48 breakdown that guarantees Pacquiao $12 million plus a sweetener from Arum that he claims “won’t cost me anything’’ but others whisper is worth $1.5 million extra.

so my questions to you

who now has a penchant for stalling for more money?

if they argued that Manny's US share was worth more than Hatton's and people are okay with it why then when the argument clearly favors Mayweather suddenly Mayweather is greedy and not wanting this fight to go forward?

do you think an extra 1.5 million is paltry? if not then couldn't you concede that since Manny's side argued for that extra coin it too should be okay for Mayweather considering the facts are on his side as far as generating more revenue?

all in all I just wonder why it is okay for Manny to stall fights, for Manny to ask for more for his take, for Manny to hold fast for what he feels is his right yet when it comes to Mayweather well then it's all Mayweather's fault?

Manny is being a *****.

Man up and sign the contract. He always acts like a ***** during negotiations with other stars.

Why should Floyd give him 50/50, when Manny gets to keep all the revenue from the PI TV rights?

You joking right?
