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

[PAC-BOY]

All you *******s need to SHUT UP!. First of all 40 million dollars is a freakin LOT of money. I bet you Manny Pacquiao doesn't even have 40 million dollars. Floyd had a fight against Oscar de la hoya that broke ALL pay per view records. 2.4 million buys, Floyd got 20 million dollars. If the fight sold 2.4 million pac would be making twice as much as Floyd did when he fought Oscar.

Second the other day he was saying he wants a garunteed purse of 28+ million dollars for a fight with Marquez? Wasn't he saying that he agreed to take a lesser share of the split but he just wanted to fight mayweather?

Third.... there is no telling how much this fight will sell. It may not hit 2.4 million. I think it has a strong possibility of hitting 2 million. But lets just say it sold 1.5 million. 40 million dollars out of that is a helluva lot of the pie. And its more than manny deserves anyway. Coming off of 3 @$$ whoopings from Juan Manuel Marquez.

but floyd..fighting 5 times in 5 years..two of which is under controversy. Is more of a reason huh?
opposed to Manny coming from 125-130all the way to 154 within these 5 years fighting 11 times. 6 more fights than Floyd and raking in more in PPV buys his last fight than floyd the woman beater did in his. Also more impressive wins and more exciting to watch.
you my friend are a doodoo head! Cong****

Look they are both clearly the top 2 moneymakers in the game , they don't need each other to make money that's a proven fact .. Who the he'll mayweather thinks he is ?? PAC gets no ppv money? What? Lol!!! This dude is the biggest gimmick boxing has ever seen what a complete fraud . I never seen a boxer make up so many excuses to avoid a big fight smh

I would love to have seen Floyds average PPV buys if he had fought as often as Manny.

That Oscar fight has lifted his average long enough.

Cmon u can't be that slow.. Why u think Floyd offering 40 mil to PAC? Because he is gonna make much more than that if he agrees to that .. And yes 40 mil might be a career high for PAC but Floyd would also make a career high as well , dont try to twist this around like both ain't making career high pay days .. As as far as ppv goes pfft this does over 3 mil buys easy

D4th:

Your opinion is manny is the bigger fighter. PPv sales, gate receipts, and all other economic factors combined show otherwise. If you can't admit that its fine with me.

Leave opinions out of it. run the numbers. split the purse. its really not more complicated than that.

Pacquiao vs Marquez 1.41m
Mayweather vs Mosley 1.4m
Pacquiao vs Mosley 1.3m
Pacquiao vs Cotto 1.25m
Mayweather vs Ortiz 1.25m
Pacquiao vs Margaritio 1.25m (needs checking)
Mayweather vs Marquez 1.02
Pacquiao vs Clottey 800k

Pacquiao is the bigger attraction, and doesn't need free gifts to sell his ticket, or double main events, with Canelo and Morales fighting on the card on Mexican Independence day up the PPV buys.

Also Pacquiao out sell Mayweather at the gate everytime.

Plus Pacquiao can garner more endorsements

Floyd is lucky Pacquiao offered him 50/50 IMO its should be 55/45 to Pacquiao.

The point still remins how can you duck someone by offering their biggest ever payday~

Whatever Manny makes it isn't 40 million in one fight. He certainly is in his right to refuse the offer and to ask for more, truth be told he deserves more.

Still what is his fixation on what Floyd makes and the split why is he not concerned with making his biggest ever payday~

Why do certain fighters get lambasted for turning down a biggest career purse yet others get a free pass~

It is not a duck. *******s refuse to see that Bob steals from pac and lies to everyone. Pac has already agreed to the lesser share, May 5th and random blood testing. However Bob Arum does not and is now talking about November for some bizarre reason.

Bob gets put in check by the media and he completely ignores the current situation by talking about the fight to take place in November.

Since when does Mayweather normally fight twice a year? Let alone being ready to fight when he gets out of jail (assuming he even gets out after 3 months).

Bob is ducking the fight and everyone knows it. Even part of Pac's team knows it. Pac has agreed to fight but Bob will not allow it to take place.

Where you been Dunn, Manny's offfer was 50/50.

Unlike Floyd he never asked for anything unreasonable during negoiations. So ofcourse Manny wont offer a flat amount.

If Manny asked for anything over 50% then that would be unreasonable. But he hasnt.

10 million dollars for every pound over 147 is reasonable?

[D4thincarnation]

10 million dollars for every pound over 147 is reasonable?

Yes, especially when Floyd flouted that stip against Marquez when the fine was only a few hundred thousand.

Not much asking for Floyd to come in not overweight now is it.

[Oxn]

10 million dollars for every pound over 147 is reasonable?

Considering Floyd came in 2 pounds heavier in his Marquez fight, no i dont.

I dont think i need to tell you but 2 WHOLE pounds in IS A HUGEEEEE amount.
I remmeber in other weight ins where guys come in half a pound overweight and they get picked apart by the fans. Now imagine 2 freaking pounds.

Also you gotta consider, All Floyd has to do is follow the contracted protocol and thats that. Nothing extra needed to be done.

what a ***** this guy is, still a ducking fraud, all he is doing is giving crap so the fight will not be made

this fight will EASILY do 1.8m -2m ppv buys which is over 100m in revenue

the man is a joke, I said it right from the start on the other threads, once pac is forced by the fans to agree to may 5th, floyd will duck the fight by asking for more than 50-50
