Horus Presents: WHY is Team Pacquiao making getting 50% a STICKING POINT!!!

[megadeth]

if anything manny should get 60 and floyd should get 40 . because manny is a bigger draw internationaly as well as a movie star

Movies star? Hahaha, ur funny. I was in the Philippines a few months ago and I don't recall seeing anyone clambering for his films. Watch one of his films(all the way through), I guarantee u wont see another. Geez, while your at it, why not just say he is a pop star too and give Pac 70%.


Yeah? Show us the proof he is a bigger draw internationally. I'll wait!
Hell, in his own country, the fights are on for free, so what kinda draw is that??
I love it when people just make stuff up!

Thread's still going?

People obsessed with FLoyd's PPV numbers really don't give up!

You are posting and defending Pac's position right along with everyone else, so who else isnt "giving up"?

[megadeth]

I don't even like talking about this bull**** PPV split.

But, 50/50 is fair. If Pac asks for more than he is pricing himself out...

55/45 in Floyd favor is fair also. If he asks for anymore IMO he is pricing himself out of the fight.

Both splits are fair... Whoever says otherwise is just basically ****riding fan boy.

60/40 to the winner is what I think it should be. With 65/35 if it is by KO.

But, at the end of the day I could careless who gets what. I don't care if Floyd gets 99% and Pac gets 1% of the split.

Anyways it has not even been verified that Floyd is asking for more than 50/50 so maybe all this is a moot point.

You can call 50-50 or 55-45 "fair" all u want but unless you have the numbers to back it up all u are doing is giving an OPINION.

How about some numbers based on the facts?
How can u have 50-50 AND 55-45 and both are fair? Someone is either getting money taken from them or giving too much. You cant have both. I haven't figured out the % difference in PPV buys and the gate, so I wont say what is fair.

I'm not a ****rider or a fanboy. If this was Delahoya(who i am not a fan of) vs. Pac I would say the same thing. How is it being a fan boy anyway, if u are following the way that fights purses are normally measured. The fighter w/the biggest revenue gets the biggest money, right? What am i missing here?

60-40 to the winner? This to me is being a fan boy. I don't care if he and everyone of his fans say "ez fight", why should FMJ put his purse in the hands of the judges or a chance KO, when he has EARNED the right to have the bigger purse? You want to give Pac a chance at something he has not earned by being the bigger draw.

He could say the exact same things to u. You're saying "its fair" and "both will get an equal amount", but both don't deserve an equal amount. That is the bottom line. You want FMJ to take less than he deserves. Why are u going against logic here? This very basic and fundamental. Floyd has proven he brings in more revenue, so he deserves more of the money. PERIOD! It doesn't matter if you "don't think" Manny deserves more or not.

And boy, how generous of u, when its FMJ money to lose and not yours. I want the fight as well, but don't act like u are not doing the very same thing. Turn that around. Would u rather the fight get done fairly and the rightful sides get what he deserves or would u rather that one side demand the 50/50 split and we don't have the fight at all? So i guess YOU care more about Pac getting his 50% than the fight getting done right? Goes both ways! Why that kind of comment is made in the first place, I'll never know. As if what we say on this forum has the slightest bearing on whether the fight goes through or not.

Because there's a better chance of getting the fight done with a fair and even purse split, hence 50/50. Seriously, WTF you people don't understand about a 50/50 split. When you asked another fighter to take less, you automatically belittle and devalue that boxer, and in this case, both fighters have big egos and have good valid reasons to ask and get more money, that's why 50/50 is the only deal that would work, neither one can and would take less.

No, dumbass. "fairness" is not treating everyone the same. "fairness" is treating everyone appropriately.

The Illiterate Congressman's fans can't really afford PPV's, so his numbers have been lower than Floyd's. Thus, the "fair" thing is for Floyd to get the larger portion.

Really, treating everyone the same is not fair, LOL, i thought i heard it all from *****s when they didn't know what a decade is, this one is just as bad. BTW, Floyd's fans would have to sell their food stamps to buy ppv, so really, you shouldn't talk.

[KILLA RIGHT]

At worst it should be 55/45 floyd...But for some reason pac's team thinks he's bigger then he really is

#1 P4P fighter dictates the terms of the fight, not the #2

Yeah? Is that why FMJ dictated the terms w/ ODLH?

[Horus]

man it is so crazy that people who say they do not want too talk about this are in here talking about it, even worst they are in here trying tell other people not to talk about it. Like communist these people want to censor and control the discussion surrounding an aspect of boxing that some people recognize is important. If you guys who say you rather talk about something else, go in another thread and talk about something else.
otherwise, address the topic at hand and participate in the discussion. Stop complaining and diverting attention away from the topic and harrassing people, just because the point of view in this thread might not fall in line with your point of view. Grow up

smh. It is like some of these dudes can not just
tolerate people having a discussion which either they don't agree it, or they simple present a rational argument for supported with facts.
