Manny Pacquiao does not deserve a 50/50 split

[Gunns4hire]

This is a non issue 5 common opponents five higher numbers to the winner by unanimous decision.....FLOYD MAYWEATHER!!!

Doesn't matter why you pay to see a fighter fight you still pay to see him fight..

In the US everything else stops when mayweather fights

In the phillipines everythinf stops when pac fights..

but when Floyd fights nothing else is considered for that weekend..

U cant split it by ticket sales because economic demographics will skew the # of supporters for each fighter...i.e. if more pac fans can afford fight tix then it would seem as if he is the bigger draw..

and then u can't account for those same fans who might buy floyd tix or ppv's just to seem him lose.

Floyd deserves 60% Pac 40%

Floyd undefeated world champ since 96' and beat the last PPV Champ while he was still the PPV Champ and a legitimate Belt holder ODLH!!

Then Explain why I went to Laguna Beach for the weekend, and did not order the fight (Even Though I am Mexi/Rican)
Rather hung out with some friends partied a bit, and illegally downloaded the fight a few days later?

What are Pac's options really? Mayweather gonna make 40mil reguardless if its Khan or Canelo or Berto or anyone at 154. Pac isn't going to make 40mil fighting Bradley or Marquez 4 and all the rest of the names are signed to GBP.

If he had options then he could make a stronger case for himself but he doesn't have options. He needs to cash out against Mayweather before its to late.

Pac needs to look at it like this. He needs to take the 40mil and win that fight. If he can beat Mayweather then he could ask for the lions share in the rematch or it won't even matter as his earnings will now blow up even more for whoever he fights next and he could make back to back 40mil fights. Its flat out smarter buisness.

This seems fairly wrongheaded. Fighters are independent contractors, each new fight is a new negotiation. And while I agree that there would be little to no chance that either Floyd or Pac would take less then they had made before, if you offer each man a career high pay day THAT THEY CAN ONLY MAKE FACING EACH OTHER then it is not unreasonable to think that they should both be okay with the split.

I don't think anyone is arguing that FMJ makes less money, the argument, from most rational fans is that 50/50 is fair because they are fucking acting like retarded children.

No Sir, if I made myself unclear then I apologise.

Puga was reffering to Pacquaio having had larger attendance numbers than Mayweather on average. I'm saying that the reason for Pacquaio having a larger average than Mayweather, is because of his two fights in Texas which enabled him to have a huge number of people come and watch him fight.

CatntheHat aint no joke.

u pactards getting owned by one guy in this thread

[VecArrow]

Why do Pacquiao fans still believe he DESERVES a 50/50 split when all the financial numbers say otherwise?
I can't wrap my head around their logic.

And back to that contractually obligated promoter....you can't set ultimatums and say you want his promoter out for the simple fact that HE IS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED.

He doesn't lose 10s of millions! he's getting a guaranteed $40 million which is the highest he'd ever get and even higher than he'd make if he was going by what Arum wants. What do you not understand? He has to bend to his method because he does not have the luxury to do it his way. You think Pacman doesn't want a guaranteed $40 million then you don't understand the whole situation.

His promoter is contractually obligated to promote the fight and get commission proceeds...he is not obligated to be an investor in the entire event and earn PPV revenue if not required to to so.

pacquiao already stated his position, he wants a fair share of PPV. floyd leaved him out of it.

The Top Rank promoter said that with the pay-per-view income, which up to now hasn’t all come in, Pacquiao will earn an additional $5 million, above his guaranteed purse for a total income of $30 million.

This was addressed bro...There were "no negotiations" because there was ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THE DRUG TESTING. As was shown in PACQUIAO MARGARITO 24/7, Team Pacquiao agreed to 7 DAYS, thus there was no reason for any negotiation's to take place. Floyd holds a ZERO TOLERANCE on the drug testing..

Fuck bro you just keep getting raped!

and domestic violence has alot to do with it when your a licensed pro fighter on this level.
Boxing already has a fucked up image, why do you think Floyd took the plea agreement? its very simple, Floyd knew had this gone to trial his children would be called to the stand and that spells bad news for Mr Mayweather.

but its not just domestic violence its three separate convictions so the man has a history of doing this over a ten year span

cool bro..this has 0 to do with negotiations man.

50/50 is not a fair share for Floyd..your not getting it man...your just looking at Manny...

So let's say Floyd does 50/50...Pac DOBULES his highest payday and Floyd only makes what he made for Cotto.

Pac takes $40,000,000 and he makes $15,000,000 more than he ever made for a fight while Floyd makes $10,000,000 more than he made for Cotto.

You just don't get it do you?
