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

[BoxingTech718]

Well so much for not negotiating in public. I'm blaming team pac for not keeping their collective mouths shut if the fight falls through.

40/40 Split with remaining 20% to the winner.

Let's make it interesting and have both camps put their money where their mouths are .... a 40/40 Split with remaining 20% to the winner.

so u really dont want this fight to happen coz manny would not agree to a 60/40 purse,and ur backing up mayweather's demand for a 60/40? come on now...we are supposed to be a boxing fan

50/50 split is fair enuf...and lets hope this fkcing fight will happen...jesus!!

I think "Check-Facts" likes to fancy himself as head of the Mayweather PR team and as his personal accountant, except he keeps showing up to work (like Milton from the movie office space), forgetting that he's not on the payroll.

i think he lives on mars..actually most of americans hate pbf and root for pacman.pbf aint cheered as pacman is cheered worldwide.

We are not talking about cheering here,we are talking about people who pay to watch fights.If no money is involved then it's not a market.Also saying Mayweather is not popular ,that's a myth.Did you see how many mayweather fans came to watch him train in the UK?Even when mayweather had a Ricky hatton presss conference he had fans,I was there in London.On the other hand when Pacquiao came to the UK only Philipinos cheered him.

I'm not living on Mars,just face the facts,Mayweather's numbers prove it,be it at the gate or ppvs or video conferencing at his fights.How many fighters produce overflows at fight venues paying to watch in overflow rooms,how many fighters are watched in cinemas?If you still think a fighter who holds a record ppv is not popular than you are not worth talking to.[/QUOTE]

ok earlier u said mosley marga didnt do much...that was because both didnt want people to pay alot for ticket and tv.indeed it wasnt ppv...you know sometime ppl dont fight for money but for glory.

told u so; it will never happen .

The criteria for money splits has always been about who brings in the most revenue. Mayweather sells the most and brings in the most. The only way pac can justify 50/50 is if he does OST all the way up to the day of the fight. If he makes that concession then PBF should agree to 50/50. Pac would get his dough and Floyd gets his testing. Pac is clean anyway so this would be a nice bonus just to prove that.

Firstly promoters dont promote fights for charity,they invest to make money and the idea that anyone doesnt want fans to pay is not real.As a matter of fact the Mosley Margarito ticket prices had to be slashed and yet both fighters are 'popular'

The fight was in Carlifornia where Mosley hails from and where Margarito has so many Latino fans.The gate takings for the fight at the Thomas and Mac Centre were pathetic.Even if they made that fight a ppv the sales would be dissappointing,the only way they could make money was by getting a fixed fee from the tv company.Dont be fooled by people who claim they fight for glory,they have all been proved to be fake.Mosley's fight with Mayweather took long to negotiate because Mosley wanted a bigger payday,more than he has ever recieved before.Manny used to claim that he fought for his fans yet all his fights are not easy to put together because of his greed.He was greedy with DelaHoya,hatton and now Mayweather.Guess who's the common denominatort?Pacquiao

The 50 offer was on the table before both previous fights. The outcome is 1 doubles the other. 50-50 is doesn't make sense.

You know what's funny. You f#ckin azzholes wasn't saying none of this **** when pac demanded more money for hatton and oscar.

[M.I.C.]

Just like Pac can "vow" not to budge any further, Mayweather can "vow" to not accept anything less than 60% or offer any OST cutoff date, numbers, facts, and morality favor Mayweather.
