Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says Mayweather Offered a $40 Million Flat Fee

[Pactar∂]

e pac is not a huge ppv draw by himself. Case in point pac/clottey. Or selecting mosley over berto. People tune in to see pac crush (insert popular fighter). floyd sells a million plus by himself. Marquez and ortiz were virtual unknown by casual boxing fans.

Floyd's last split site PPV: 1.25 million, featuring Morales and Canelo (both probably around 300k PPV buys).

Pac's last PPV: 1.4 millions, featuring Tim Bradley (~10 PPV buys).

Ortiz was introduced to the world on september 17. No one tuned in to see him
Jmm hzs a heavy fans base at this point. Even arum said crowd was mostly mexican. So we can assume many mexicans bought the fight for him

when talking numbers sometimes it can be complexed and meaningless....so its my duty to keep it simple with a touch of genius!! lol...at the end of the day, Manny prefers Arum's ***** over Floyd's....we gotta respect that...its his perogative!!!....IMO its a even split fight as far PPV and any other extra bread....thats just me!!!...but I heard that number 40 mill before!!

What he said.

Pacquiao also had 2 controversial fights with Marquez before so it was a trilogy,he only sold 1 million in the 3rd fight,Mayweather sold 1 million in the 1st fight and Marquez probably became famous after that.

this is sooo tired, all these floyd huggers just dont want to get it...

lets say you and another guy at your job are the TWO BEST in the world at
your job, no one else compares, just you two and all the investors want only you or the other guy for whatever job it is. you two are the most important at your company...the two best, similar sales, similar achievements......

will you happily agree to make 40 thousand a year in salary while this other equal employee makes 100 thousand a year plus bonuses and incentives even if he fails his next job?

is that fair?

are you down with that?

wow, a ***** now is acting like he has an MBA.

There will be no monetary risk for Floyd for this fight. He doesn't spend MONEY for PROMOTIONS. He can promote free using TWITTER and interviews.

He knows this will break records, and knowing Floyd, he will not make a move if he is not so sure of it like he will not fight an opponent who has a chance to beat him.

To act this way is simply solidifying, he doesn't want to fight. He knows Arum won't approve of it.

Probably the most flagrantly uninformed post I've seen here. To be misinformed or unsure is one thing; to spew such nonsense strictly from a 'my favorite fighter is right/your favorite fighter is wrong' perspective is plain embarrassing.

Damn 40 million. That is a lot. Bob arum doesn't even give PAC that much. No wonder bob doesn't want the fight. He can't steal pacs money if PAC knows how much he's going to get. Lol

But 40 million. No wonder PAC agreed to the lesser share, may 5th and random blood testing.

I think floyd beats him & quite comfortably, but to offer him 0% PPV & 0% of all other revenue after he's been the no.1 guy in the sport for the past 5 years or so, is bull**** & he rightly turned it down.

[WESS]

Again PAC agreed to the lesser share aka 40 million but bob don't want the fight.
