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

[fcastro1]

Because Pac refused to make the deal when he had the chance and they have both done business since then and it again showed Floyd is clearly the bigger revenue maker , if you do a job and you create more revenue than anybody else you are entitled to more pay , thats the way the world works , forget hating on Floyd and look at this as a corporate business deal , 60/40 is silly but Floyd will get and does deserve the bigger slice .

You never answered my question. Floyd has always outsold pac but was willing to do 50/50 so why is he changing now. Instead of making it easier to negotiate he is making it harder.

When was the last time Floyd mentioned anything about the split?

Pay Attention

First of all mayweather deserve the 60/40 split.. the fight fell threw last time because many pac didn't want to take the test.. And now all of sudden yes i will take the test.. He had his chance to for a 50/50 split.. but that wack fight with clottey didn't do no were near the numbers floyd and mosely did.. So floyd should get the bigger share.. But the fact remain manny turned down 40 million to fight for 4 million.. Now you want to take the deal the floyd offer you in march.. Something is not right..

Lets just get it on already! 50-50 NSAC sanctioned tests. I'm not too keen on a Cotto rematch even though it'd be quite entertaining.

[Frank Ducketts]

no he is trying to make negotiations more difficult because he is unsure. i predicted this months ago that if it wasn't the osts then it would be the split. If it wasn't the split then it would be the gloves. Floyd is just unsure about fighting pac, he has never acted like this towards any fighter he has fought so why now?

Sorry, but you have no clue what you're saying lol... Floyd thinks that Pac may be on something since he has come from 112-147 beating men bigger than him, and that Shane may have been on something, so he asked for this testing. Simple...

[Frank Ducketts]

I think the fight should be 50/50. It's not like either boxer is gonna go broke if he accepts a 60/40 split. I agree that mayweather does sell more PPV's, but thats because so many people want to see him lose. I guarantee once Mayweather loses a fight, his PPV numbers will go down a bit. Also, lets remember that Floyd/Shane didnt sell out, yet Pacquiao sold over 50,000 tickets when he fought Clottey(who?? lol)

You can't be serious lol...

[| THE KING |]

This fan seems to insinuate that Floyd has cheated the scales before lol. This is what a *******s job is...to discredit Floyd at any cost lol..., even if their post is written with unseen lies lol...

He did. He couldn't make contracted weight (144) for the Marquez catchweight, even though marquez was already moving up TWO divisions, so he paid money to marquez to restructure the contract days before the fight.

Yeah, but lets remember, Floyd was once that weight also.

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?

Just wanted to bump this.....

[M.I.C.]

Well if Pac vow's to budge no further then I'll give him an idea of how much he's going to make against Mayweather. $.00000 Not a got damn thing!! We've already seen Pac come crawling back once, he'll do it again, he know's who the cash king is.
