Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: It's 80-20 That Mayweather Fight Will Happen

[mrpain81]

Les Moonves: I hope Floyd signs the contract.

S. Espinoza: There isn't a contract!

Who am I to believe more? Oh that's right the actual real boss, Moonves. We need to hear from Todd DuBoef who actually runs Top Rank's day to day operations. People really need to tone it down with the fandom though, let's stop pretending like this fight is as appealing result wise as it would've been a few years ago. These dudes are a c*nt hair away from being retired.

I've been reading that a lot lately, you got a source?

75-25 Is bull****, plain and simple. I guess this will be the ammunition that the Floyd followers will use when Pacquiao decides to walk away from the negotiation table.

Pacquiao deserves 40% period and the following numbers support that fact

Career PPV Buys

Mayweather: 14.2 million; Pacquiao: 13.6 million.

bro pac in the second qoute just said if he wants me to take less that 40 percent i will...

so how are u to say thats no fair if pac isnt?? arum wont allow pac to take less and floyd wont allow arum to go against wat pac has said..b/c its not about the promoter its about the fighter..thats why fighters hate arum

I hope the fight doesn't happen... For several reasons:

1. Fight is happening at least 3 years too late... Manny would have destroyed Floyd then easily

2. Floyd brought up Pac's PPV numbers in China... so there is no reason for Floyd to negotiate with someone whom he believes is not going to help him sell PPVs..

3. Floyd is putting so many demands on the fight..he's trying to obtain every advantage... it makes the fight less interesting...

4. It is ruining boxing for the 2015... Cotto v. Canelo is already ruined because of Floyd...

5. The more time this fight gets hyped the more boxing will suffer after the let down..casual fans will tune boxing out...

6. Floyd doesn't deserve the split he's asking for and should be doing VADA drug testing not just USADA...

7. I could keep going...

Lmao already making excuses. A lot of pac fans already covered their ass like this post by having the excuses ready. Today it's he's ducking pac. Next week it'll be he shoulda signed 2 years ago. And in May it'll be pacs washed up blah blah

I heard Mayweather's last interview and he's still bringing up Pacquiao's PPV numbers for a fight in China (even though he demanded Showtime not release his PPV numbers for Mayweather-Maidana 2), but the point is... if he feels that Pacquiao's PPV numbers are so terrible.. why is he negotiating for a Pacquiao fight?

Why doesn't Floyd just go fight Miguel Cotto or someone else... because he should be able to make $150 million fighting them too... since Pacquiao PPV numbers are so terrible...

This, is pretty much the thought process of rational people.

watch..when u see the numbers u'll likely say damn..dude was right..the purse even if its 25% will likely be 40 millionish...floyd himself told pac on showtime u cant even have 40 million b/c u turned that down and got ko'd for less money..cotto isnt involved in these negotiations and the money is bigger therefore the split could be the same and still be much larger than cotto 8 million

I wasn't going to respond, but i will just say this one of the most ******ed posts i have ever seen. I don't even think you know what the hell you're talking about. Sooo illogical.... does he pay you to do this?

I've been reading that a lot lately, you got a source?

no he does not...b/c its BS...the tmz video does not have les saying that at all..les has only said he can deliver floyd...thats all..and that was ages ago..he said he hopes the fight happens b/c its a load of cahs for everyone

[Shapopojoe]

Reading that over a few more times. I will stick with what I have been saying for a while now which is THE FIGHT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Manny just said he willing to take 40% just for the sake of the fans. Meaning Manny(Arum) and his team feel he deserves more than the 40%.

Floyd probably feels that Manny deserves less than 40%.

So how are they supposed to cover that percentage gap in how each side feels?

Both Floyd and Manny should just show a neutral party their real ppv numbers and just make the percentage split based off the FACTS/REAL PPV buy numbers.

It really shouldn't be this difficult!!!!

It should be 60/40 for the mere fact that is not a 200 million dollar fight without the b side involved...damn people....Floyd is never going to get a bigger payday so who gives a **** if it's 60/40?

[V.WEBB]

It's going to happen. Which is why I believe Manny has been *appearing* all over the place in the last couple of weeks.

Stop bringing up 09 manny just admitted blood testing was an issue and it's not no more manny and floyd fans use selective memory when it fits they agenda they have both over the years avoided the that's facts manny more so when they both was in prime of career and it really would of be explosive because a prick of needle and Floyd with some of the most ******est demands since point is it's at the closest point to being made since 09 when manny walked away and both fanboys are still going back forth this person don't want this person did this it's pathetic they should both just retire so they fans can disappear and let real boxing fans enjoy other fighters and don't have to hear they names bought up anymore

what part of 09 did I bring up?

Remember when he came back from retirement in 09? Why did he come back for? All this time we thought he came back cuz he loved boxing again wanted to prove hes the best blah blah blah.... in reality he only came back cuz his ass was almost broke... fast forward 6 years.... still no fight.... hhmmmm

that has "what" to do with pac and floyd negotiations in 09-10???
Would be better if you had something to say to what I posted (the bolded part just in case you dont know what im referring to)

read the second quote of this article then smack yourself...pac just said he will take less that 40 percent...how about my logic now? instead of coming right into the comment section givin your advice read the darn article fool..arum wont accept tho..b/c he likes to hard nut floyd...and floyd wont let him..thats why we have 6 years of other fights besides this one
