Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: 50-50 Split is The Breaking Point

[GRUSTLER]

Mind explaining how it will be possible? I jut explained that Mayweather will always make more than Pacquiao due to Pacquiao's obligation to give most of his paycheck to his promoter.

It was possible during the first negotiations.

Floyd just commented on the 50/50 split via Twitter. "A month ago, Pacquiao said he would take a cut to fight me. Now that I called him out, he wants a big piece?" Bob Arum is most likely in Manny's ear telling him not to accept less money.

We all know what Manny said but he should just make it 50/50 like it was in 09 and kick Pac's butt then he will have the whole sport on lock & Arum up $h!t's creek.

my friend you are fooling your self if you think the wt didnt affect oscar. the thing was roach stipulated oscar had to wt 147 on the night of the fight. so he could not re-hydrate. and to fight at a wt you havnt fought at in 7 years? please and if the wt was no big deal why didnt pac fight him at 154? and do you really think pac fighting at 135 wont bother him? and as for colttey when he did punch he landed. the man throws close to 100 punches a round. he takes a punch well and even fought with a broken hand before. but v pac he just stood there. it was obvious he took a dive same as shane. shane fights like a mexican but v pac he through more jabs in that fight than he did in his whole career. and as to pac avoiding, he ducked more good fighter than any other fighter in recent memory. guys like raheem, guzman, juan diaz. nate cambell,valero,soto,casamayor, popo fritas,witter,vivan harris,torres(who he did use as a sparing partner and got his clock cleaned)cintron judah,d. hopkins and more. the only ones they say floyd ducked was cotto, margarito and you say williams. cotto was not put in with floyd bc arum did not want floyd to ruin his rising star. and v tony arum was tring to rob him as far as purse and revenue goes. floyd didnt go for it. he know how much he should make. and williams, he didnt gain traction until a few yrs ago. but could put on so much wt, i would not have advised floyd to fight a jr middle wt.

I've never seen that Oscar was limited to 147 on fight night. If so, and I doubt it, Oscar was a fool for taking the fight, even for the huge money. If that were so, he would not have been the big favourite with the odds makers and gamblers.

On a similiar point, this was pacquiao's first venture into the welterweight division, and he'd only had one lightweight fight, and was coming up from 130 lbs just 9 months before. It was a monumental undertaking and he deserves every praise he gets.

On the other hand, Mayweather, when he went up from 130 lbs to lightweight, he didn't pick a champion for his first fight, as Pacquiao did, he carefully picked a guy with a record of about 20-15. It was Emanuel Augustus, and it turned out to be a tougher fight than Mayweather expected or wanted. It was good fight, and any time I want to be cheered up, I look at it again.

Pacquiao is a warrior and fighter, Mayweather is a boxer and conniver. neither deserves blame from fans, that's just the way they are.

Seems like its true after Mayweather's latest tweet just minutes ago.

A month ago, Pacquiao said he would take a cut to fight me. Now that I called him out, he wants a big piece? Read this: tiny.cc/650ea

OK, so here we go......

I don't have twitter, can someone please post it ?

If Mayweather really did state that he would not agree to 50/50, then I find it hard to take him too seriously, in spite of the fact that he has made Team Pacquiao look like utter b1tches over the last week-or-so.

[FightTalent]

r u serious - sis u realy think Pac's team would agree to less than 50/50? lol. floyd knows that aint happenin. He calls out Pac, calls him a punk, says thats the only fight he wants, then makes it so the fight is even harder to make.

you cant just put the blame on arum now. there is plenty of blame to go around.

Pac and floyd are both considerd #1 lb 4 lb by different en******. they both generate $1 million + in PPV buys. if there is a 50/50 fight, this is it.

I really dont giv a f*** is Pac said that, his point was that he wanted the fight and would do what is necessary to make it happen. Unfortunatly Arum and floyd dont feel the same way

Dude, you ****in read it, Pac said it, but you are disregarding it. WTF?? Oh wait, so going forward lets all disregard any **** that comes out of Pac's mouth. Better question, since you pick and choose what words to believe from Pac - anything else you DONT believe??? Geez. And screw Arum, go soley off what Pac said man. This is BS and you know it. If he didnt mean it he shouldnt have said, plain and simple. Damn.

[LeadUppercut]

You say all this crap about Arum, but nothing about Floyd. You do know Floyd is going to jail, right? LMFO. Floyd has been as big as a flip flopper as Arum when it comes to making the Pacquiao fight. I never said there was only one person roadblocking this fight, but it seems you are.

Morons: people who will see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear, in spite of glaring evidence to the contrary.

You are a clown for attempting to clear Bob Arum's good name by attacking Mayweather's credibility.

Even if Mayweather did lie, how would that justify the mountain of lies that have come from Bob Arum?

And speaking of lies..... did Mayweather state that his name was Manny Pacquiao and that he genuinely wanted to fight Mayweather more than anything in the world, but then would not agree to fight on May 5th?

Did Mayweather say to the Filipino media that his name was Manny Pacquiao and that he would take less money, but then categorically state "50/50 or no fight"?

Did Mayweather say to the Filipino media that his name was Manny Pacquiao and that "making the fight was more important than the money"...... but then immediately flip-flop and state "we need to build a new stadium in order to maximize revenue"?

I am not sure what process you use to decide what to believe, but I am sure that I can make a damn good guess, pacboy

Exactly.....People here have selective memory. They are easily decieved by any new statements or news. Pacquiao also said he will fight Floyd anytime and anywhere then all of a sudden May 5th at the MGM is too soon and too small a venue. He also said he will submit to the test so im just waiting for him to change his statements about that in the future also. Even if he does Mayweather will keep getting the blame for some weird reason.

FloydMayweather@FloydMayweather A month ago, Pacquiao said he would take a cut to fight me. Now that I called him out, he wants a big piece?

Floyd is playing games too. He knows Pac was full of crap trying to save face. Floyd had them against the ropes and just let them fight back off.
