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

[LupinIII]

Last time out.

Official purses: Manny $6M (guaranteed $22M), JMM $5M, Bradley $1.025M, Casam $100K, Alvarado $75K, Prescott $35K, Cruz $35K, Burgos $22,500

Pacquiao had 22m guaranteed. With the cut of the PPV he probably made over 30m

hmm interesting offer from floyd. More than Pac has ever received but i don't blame Pac for passing on it.showing up and picking up a check with no risk had to be tempting though.

40 Million dollars is one hell of an offer. Manny could certainly make more but would arum pay him.

Why hate on floyd when arum has done the same thing for years. He gives a fee and becomes the sole promoter.

50/50 only works when they co-promote. The 40 mil was an offer for a mayweather promotions fight. It really is simple.

For argument sake, lets assume that you are right. His guarantee will be 40 Million, and he wont get any money from the PPV's, international rights, gates, and close circuits.. Its strictly a 40M fee for Pac...

So this means he has to share that 40M to Arum, Roach, Top Rank, his training team, managers..

So in the end, he will end up getting almost the same as he did fighting somebody else..So why would he agree to that type of deal when everybody knows that a Pac-Floyd is goin' to break bank...

If Floyd is so fixed about a guaranteed purse, so why dont he offer a 100M guarantee to Pac, or better yet why dont he take the 40 M guarantee purse, and let Pac assume the risk and take the 100% PPV shares.. If Floyd thinks this is really fair...

Even if pac accept his bluff u will just hear another roadblock from floyd. Floyd just doesn't want pac plain and simple.

B.Hop-Dawson a mismatch?!? ....you're offended by me calling May-Pac a mismatch?!?...be real!!

I agree this is a missmatch just like u and almost all of the so called boxing fans think of the pacquiao-dela hoya fight.

I guess the terrible showing Manny did against Marquez was still not enough to convince Floyd to fight him yet.

Maybe another 2 years and after Manny get KOed, then Floyd may consider. But right now its still too risky for him

Mayweather is trying to pull off a Bob Arum on Manny, people trying to use Manny like a cheap hooker.

I"m curious though, so if Manny were to take the 40mill, how much of that goes to Bob Arum?

[jai mari078]

Lets assume he agrees to a 50:50 split. Where and what date will the fight be held? What about Arum ignoring calls and request from GBP? Will Manny's cut heal magically? Selective memory is not a good thing.

Well the 5O/50 plot has to be agreed upon first, and since that will never happen we will never know. Agree to 50/50 and than go from there because without that nothing else matters becUse the fight is not happening bottom line.

Time to stop acting like ignorant children and look at the facts. Anyone saying Manny should get 50/50 is really saying Bob Arum should make more money off this fight than Manny should cause Floyd is basing this off Manny's guarantees. Contrary to what ignorant people might think Manny doesn't make the 20 million per fight the press says he makes but Floyd does make an average of 40 million per fight based on his last 3/4 fights so Floyd is absolutely right for offering a guarantee 40 million. Manny's guarantees have been in the 7 million dolllar range while Bob Arum has been making a killing off him. This is not about hype but about facts that can easily be checked out. Stop thinking Manny has his **** together because he doesn't but on the other hand Floyd does have his.

Pacquiao made around 60 million for his last two fights.

WRONG!!! Arum made 60 plus for Manny's last 2 fights. Look at the guarantees not the press reports. Manny is not hurting for money in a 3rd world country and making 60 million in his last 2 fights. Manny's guarantees are very low and Bob has his balls gripped so tight that Manny can't do anything but say "uhhhhhhh whatever my promoter say".
