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.

So now you're making up quotes? Post a link to where Moonves said that.

may-cotto2 here it comes!!! I really hope cotto beats his ass into retirement like he was supposed to at welterweight before duckboy "retired"

well buddy i'd love to see pac -mayweather,but i know you're a big cotto fan ,so...i'm happy for you if that happens!

The percentage part threw me off. Manny says if he wants it higher I am happy with that. I will take 40 to 60 I am ok with that for the sake of the fans.

Can someone try to explain that to me.

Mayweather initially asked for 70/30, based on the realities of the business that either guy does and how their respective careers have gone since the last talks, Moonves was able to get Mayweather to push things down to 66/34, Arum balked at those terms, so he's parading Pacquiao in public to try and change the negotiating position at the table.

pretty transparent tbh. a shame that he's being played like a puppet

And...
see the ******ity of it all? The best eva stands to make $150 million minimum in a fight that people around the world want to see. Forget about the money. How about the motivation of proving you're really the best?

And they're still not sure whether it would happen or not. Man, if you ask me I hope this TBE guy stays ducking. My disgust with this individual is out of this world. It would save people a lot of trouble if this guy just admit he doesn't want the fight so they can move on.

floyd dont do it for the fans or best..thats a mindset anyone can have..but 150 million is not something everyone can have..he's motiveated by money..u have to give him wat he wants to beat him..but hey he earned it right?

It's hilarious that people in this day and age still believe the garbage that Bob Arum spews. Not long ago he was saying that Golden Boy didn't send them a contract for $3 million for Donaire.

Now all of a sudden his word is gospel? Both sides are trying to squeeze out every last cent and both networks are fighting over who gets to rebroadcast the fight.

The "sign the contract crap" is Arum trying to get people to pressure Mayweather to accept his terms for the fight, it's all smoke and mirrors and people are eating it up.

[ironmt]

if he was talking about floyd giving him more he would have said "if he wants to give me more"..."if he wants higher" means if floyd want more money than 60%...face it bob arum wont let manny be floyd's B side like he needs to be to make this fight...u just want to be able to call floyd ***** so u not willing to accept the truth...

Give It up, you clearly cannot read and comprehend.

They have clearly accepted the fact that Pacquiao Is the B side. Why do you think they are willing to accept the smaller percentage of the purse? Never mind you are probably still trying to figure out which Is higher

A. 60%
B. 40%
C. 40%
D. 60%

You only get four chances.

any evidence of this? the 66/34 point??

[MisanthropicNY]

I wouldnt be surprised if 80/20 is the actual split that Floyd wanted. Look at it from Bobs angle-he tells the media, "yes we agreed to his terms,60/40 split" and the media and fans RAN with that, so now if Floyd says "not so fast! I wanted an 80/20 split"

How do you think the media and fans would respond to that??? Theyre gonna say he changed his terms or "demands". Bobs such a slimy dude and he knows as long as he has Pac, who fans absolutely adore, he will be looked upon as the pope who can do no wrong.

Floyd doesn't need to change the terms for anyone with common sense to realize that 80-20 is a joke... If Floyd is asking for 80/20 period that's almost as much of a joke as $40 mil flat...I'd tell him go fly a kite and good luck making $150 mil against Cotto.. Bye Bye now

[BattlingNelson]

so explain the "if he wants higher"...so u mean to tell me a man named money is going to give a higher percentage that wat is "bob arums" so called starting point? please dont reply to me again..u're deluded and cant believe u were just wrong
"

He is telling it to the journalist. If YOU want it higher....

What he is talking about is the chances of the fight getting made. Pac says 80-20, but since they allegedly has agreed on everything he is ok if that percentage is higher (say 90/10).
