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

Nice to bump into semantics... in a Floyd-related thread...
... Eventually, someone should explain that dude about many steps semantics, textualism, the vanishing of the sense within the significants' chain, a.s.o.
... He really deserves some Umberto Eco (or at least Tsvetan Todorov) lessens.

sir if you would always reply this way when you come across semantics, i don't want to see semantics again in my entire life

Oh yeah FIomos, I thought Floyd said that Pacquiao was cheating, using PEDs and ARiza had exposed it...

So Floyd is "negotiating" with a guy he knows did PEDs? ROFL... One story after another to save face for Floyd...

[ironmt]

Ignore the fact that Pacquiao has had twice the number of PPVs, lol.

Event for event, figuring out the actual per PPV numbers, 67/33 is actually Floyd being gracious is splitting the money.

Ignore the fact that Floyd's two biggest PPV'S were as high as they were due to his opponent, lol.

At least Manny is now saying blood testing is NO longer an issue Pacsters. Strange, I wonder what happened to his debilitating weakness he had as a condition previously? Or as said before both Fighters wanted to try and build the fight to the right time\value.

FIomos still bringing up testing doughhhhhhhhhhhhh

Wait till Floyd fans show you 2.7 million PPV result Floyd vs his shadow to discredit your point that it was not about his opponents, his opponent has nothing to do with his ppv result

[KickedOuttaGQ]

well if i felt he was ducking i wouldnt buy..but i dont think he is ducking i think arum is trying to much to get more money that he doesnt deserve or even need b/c pac said he's fine going under 40%..read the second quote of the article.."if he wants more" that has to mean if floyd wants more that 60.arum is the only one saying 60/40...no pac..its not about promoters its about fighters..and arum needs to back off...i wouldnt suggest floyd to rob himself..he earned his spot.

Reading Comprehension smh

Floyd bragging about doing 2.4 mil with Oscar is like Canelo taking credit for the 2.4 mil with Floyd... Although Canelo would actually have a better claim..he's Mexican and that was the group who mainly ordered the fight..

[MisanthropicNY]

If Floyd is the cashcow...why was he embarrassed to release the PPV results for Maidana 2?

I've never heard of a cashcow hiding PPV numbers...shouldn't he be bragging?

I'm not talking about perception, I'm talking about talent. Maidana is better than Rios, but not by much. The gap in competition is not as wide as some would have u believe.
basically, Maidana had just as much of a chance to beat Mayweather as Rios did in beating Pacquiao, landing that one big punch

and I'm not talking about marketability either, again, I'm talking about talent. Talent wise, Bradley and Alvarez are very close. And to say that Alvarez beat truck convincingly, I would seriously dispute that. That fight could have went either way

Explain to me how a UD could've went either way? I watched the Canelo Trout multiple times. It wasn't a landslide. It was competitive. But Canelo clearly won the fight which is why he got a UD. You cant say a UD could've went either way man.

Do you really believe that Rios had the same amount of chance to beat Pacquiao? Tell me one instance a fighter came off a loss at his natural weight, moved up, and had a significant shot against a top class champion in that division? The fact is Maidana had already fought a couple WWs. And after he beat them he then went on to beat a hyped but still undefeated fighter in Broner.

I agreed with you that talent wise they are similar. But he had a much better shot of beating Mayweather than Rios had of beating Pacquiao. Even with Mayweather to me being the much harder challenge. The reason being is Maidana had fought at the weight a few times before while Rios never has. That's tough to fight at a weight you never have before against a top class opponent after coming off a loss at your natural weight. Even coming off a win it would've been tough for him.

lol at the f-lomos spitting venom because Pac is pushing for the fight.
