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

[Russian Crushin]

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

Should Clottey have gotten a 50/50 split? The man bring NOTHING. What does what Pac looked against him after the fight have anything to do with how much Clottey got paid. Clottey Got a HUGE payday with i think 1.5 mil and just took the money and walk away instead of actually fighting

[V.WEBB]

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?

Wait E...I thought Manny didn't fight for money....??



I don't know WHY people believe that. Here we have Manny about to walk away from two fights over.......money....hmmm....

Clottey could've gotten more if he had played his cards right. Maybe not 90-10 but sheesh, how about 75-25? He should've fought for more - who else was Manny going to fight?

You joking right?

Back this claim up.

Why didnt Floyd rematch DLH? Let me guess DLH wasnt a big enough draw and Floyd wanted a bigger split

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

here is another fact. Floyd does not make the money he will make in this "ONE" fight anywhere else, and if you say he does, just tell me which fight..

i'll wait right here...

Actually he can make simular money(if not just as much money)with Miguel Cotto(PR fan base is HUGE), I would like to know why you think he couldn't.

Manny only fights for belts, legacy, and his country.

You said unlike Manny...so prove it.

[War Dinamita]

Floyd needed time to let his body heal and he had nothing to gain by beating Oscar again. He gave Oscar a boxing lesson and clearly won the fight 8 to 4 rounds.

I didn't think that you could back that non-sense you spewed out. We have it documented that Manny has threatened to walk away MORE than once over....you guessed it...money. Now this stuff with Mayweather.

Why? He made like 3x more then he has ever made and got what he deserved. Where did it say it was 90/10 btw?
