The fans don't care...Pac does. Pac is gonna be bringing half the people there, so why would Mayweather kill this fight for 5million dollars...choosing to make no money over 35million? C'mon now?
PPV isnt the be and end all though. there are other things too, like gate- which, with 20 000 people at 1000 a head works out to be a pretty penny too, one could say that pacquiao s fans will hold a larger portion of the audience than floyd. im sure that the crowd there will be mainly pro pac- therefore theyre going to see pac, however- the money of the gate will be split evenly. so even though floyd outsells , on average, pac on ppv, pac has some other financial weight on his side, merchandising, etc, that floyd will get a cut of. people that are pac fans will buy pac/floyd shirts, posters, etc- floyds fans are nowhere near as fanatical. so pac brings something to the table for floyd too- what im saying is- is that financially - they both bring a huge interest to the table, for more complex than just splitting it percentage wise, percentage of what- has to be worked out. its so complex - that really the way about it is just to be simple- and 50-50 is as simple a solution as can be. everyone will make more money than ever, floyd will make more than manny, we get to see a ****in fight, both egos are massaged, and again- we get to see a ****in fight. considering pac has budged on every other issue- floyd should move on this too. if pac drops the suit, moves the date, does the blood testing, lets floyds name go first, and floyd enter last, then i think floyd should agree to 50-50.
If Pac cared then he wouldnt have said that he would take less then 50/50 right? Look the issue that I have with team Pac is the same, they keep telling different stories. I dont care who makes what, Im just stating the facts and the facts are Floyd is a bigger draw.
Claiming one guy is a bigger draw than the other is meaningless. If either guy has an edge, it's negligible. If ever there was a fight where a 50-50 split was entirely appropriate, this is it. :smoke
Then make it 52/48....Floyd probably wants 60/40, rumors of him asking 70/30 for **** sake. Floyd does NOT deserve to get 60% of the purse....NO ****ING WAY!
Nah i dont buy that. Pacs fans will be buying the cheap seats $250, while the guys that are there to see Floyd will buy the $15,000 seats. It takes alot of 2 $250 seats to equal one $15,000 seat. 50/50 would be fine with me I dont care, im just stating that Pac said he would take less then 50%. Its just another example of him back tracking. At least they are talking. And I think that 51/49 would get the fight done.
Dont believe everything you read here. Alot of this clowns just pull **** out and throw it out there. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe that Floyd is asking for 70% its likely something that one of those ****ing *******s made up.
suprised Mayweather hasnt released any statement verifying if the email was his. props to the dude who met roger you lucky ******* ! shame some ****ing idiots started commenting on how you look sounded like a bunch of ****ing school girls
PBF fans please let it go, your boy is a coward, no lawyer can overturn that now...no point in further discussions....the DUCK wants no part of PAC. Truth hurts. Mayweather is still thinking how to respond, or maybe not because he does not care about his fans.
But what made Floyd ask for more than 50% all of a sudden? That one statement from Pac a month back? atsch
Why even start this if he was a coward? You guys dont understand, When Leonard ducked Pryor he didnt push to fight him, when Bowe ducked Lewis he didnt call him personally and ask him to work it out. Floyd if he was ducking he could have simply fought someone eles. Arum had already said that "there is absolutely NO WAY that pac would fight Floyd next". Everyone thought that pac was ducking at that point and Floyd could have left it there. Moved on and fought someone eles. Your a moron with no common sense, let it go and move on.
No it was a statement that Pac made last week. rumor was that Floyd was always asking for more then 50% question is why now is it a problem? Its like the drug tests. It wasnt a problem then it was. Im done with the blame game. Its pretty clear that floyd is going after this fight, and it doesnt seem that pac is unwilling. Although Arum has been hush hush for a few days. I guess we will hear from him soon.
Bull****! Even you know that's crap. Floyd is on record in saying he accepted the 50/50 split and thw testing was the only problem. You sound like a Floyd nuthugger, not a boxing fan. :-(
This fight is the epitome of a 50/50 split. Floyd has used up all his 9 lives, freaking ***** cat. I bet his last hoorah will be the fight be made in Detroit.
