Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather Fight, For Now

[MRCHOKEaMF]

Only a Bi$ch counts another man's money... I'm a fan of Manny's boxing not his finances. Unless Manny or Floyd decides to pay may bills I could give a damn about their money... Worrying about Manny's money is for Jinkee not me. I'm a boxing fan, not of fan of other peoples finances... Mayweather fans talk about his money like he shares it with them. Mayweather fights for Golden Boy and his manager is Al Haymon... They get paid off Mayweather. Pacquiao fights for Top Rank and Kuncz is his manager... They get paid off s him... Who's who's own boss is BS, all fighters are their own boss and their promoters and managers get fees... Only a B would argue over which fighter only pays 7% fees and yours pay 15%...

What are you, 15? This is a business, if you havent heard...In your World negotiations are useless huh, someone said "Its called PRIZEFIGHTING for a reason" If I'm a fan of an athlete I want to see him prosper long after his career. I guess you dont (Says alot about you). By your account all accountants and managers are B's, I guess. (See how ignorant you sound). And trust me when you owe over 50MILLION. Those percentages though seemingly small to someone of your mental capacity, mean MILLIONS and to someone who OWES the amount of money Manny owes, ITS VERY IMPORTANT.

But Arum ain't telling him it's Mayweather.

Well obviously since May weather won't do business with them lol..

Pac still plugging away and tryin to get the Floyd fight, even though Pac lost recently to JMM.

Pac is still finding it hard to get the fight. When Pac was winning it was hard. And now he lost its still hard.

Why would losing get him the fight? And he was asking more than he was worth while winning.

What I don't understand is why, if he is not concerned with the money, did he turn down 40mill?

And before you say 40 wasn't enough, realize that the highest viewed fight generated 25mill and 52mill for the combatants. Also if Floyd is paying Manny 40mil, he needs to make 80mill for it to really be 50/50.

Manny needs to quit lying its all about money.

Bob Arum robbed the $#!t out of Manny Pacquiao. If Manny doesn't leave him at the end of his contract then you know he doesn't want to fight Mayweather because that's all he has to do. Cotto did it and he is back working with Arum. Manny should do the same. dude would be a whole lot richer but seems like Arum got some crap on him. I don't care how ****** you are. If you stay dealing with someone that stays robbing you of your cash.... why the hell do you still do business with him? Oscar bounced and so did Floyd. Coincidence? I think not. And it's not like Manny went broke after he retired. Dude went broke while he is still active and young? He's already down with Holyfield.

Let's see.....40 million of a possible $250 million in revenue at that time when both were on a level playing field and top 2 P4P in the world.... Yeah Thats a legit offer lol.... So floyd was worth $210 million to Manny's $40 million...okay. Keep dreaming... Even 20 percent now would be $50 million of that $250. I think 80-20 now would still be horrible. 70-30 would be fine IMO. So $175 for Floyd and $75 for Manny ...its ridiculous that for this money these clowns can't get together and make it happen.

[sdcluser]

Somebody asked the Congress to make this fight illegal. Please kill this fight permanently so a 39 year old Floyd won't have to fight a say 37 year old Manny. Please.....

Mayweather wants drug test -> Pac says 30 days out
Mayweather wants 14 days out -> Pac says 24
Later on, Pacquiao agrees to 14 days.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now, Mayweather wants testing till day of fight -> Pac agrees.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now Mayweather says he wants 60-40, while Pac wants 50-50.
Some time later, Mayweather says "I'm not thinking about boxing right now".
on JUNE 2013, Pac agrees to 60/40 split.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now Mayweather request Pac to quit Top Rank and join Mayweather Promotions in order to make the fight.

What does this add up to? Something is fishy about Floyd. Sounds like a little bit of a ducker.

See, this goes both ways

I have to build a custom made stadium first
I want a cuttoff date (in a random test)
drawing blood close to fight makes him weak
Little cut won't heal until floyd goes to jail
Depends on my promoter bob arum

Just to name a few

And yes, I understand everyone gets a piece of that pie, I'm just using hypothetical numbers people.

All these so called fans worried about money. Look up the meaning of negotiations. There were never any, it was always Floyds way or no way. Fk this fight and his cowardly fans who have more excuses than he does
