    Pacquiao is the only fighter in boxing that makes Floyd look like a Rhodes Scholar.


    I wont hold that against him. When Floyd says "He isnt the sharpest knife in the drawer"

    You know you're dealing with one simple muther****er. :rofl

    You only concocted that funny freakin' concept to justify Mayweather's absurd demand on this fight.

    An offer of +30-40M with ZERO PPV share for a fight expected to generate 2-3M viewers and more than 100M in earning? You've got be kidding with that offer.

    I'm not defending anything, I'm asking you to defend your position, and you can't because you haven't taken the time to put any thought what-so-ever into what you're saying. Which has become the norm for you, but either way, I'm asking you to show me how you arrive at the conclusion $40 million dollars is a bad deal, I want you to show me your math, how do you come up with the figures you're comparing this offer to?

    How is a funny concept. Start a poll and ask who is the better fighter. Floyd or Pacquiao. Floyd will win resoundingly.

    How is it a silly concept that the better fighter think he deserves the bigger slice?

    The fight hasn't happened yet.

    I have no numbers. It's just generally accepted that both fighters stand to make 75mill each in this fight.

    I ignored it because i don't care to argue with people that defend a flat offer.

    i would not say it's a bad or good deal. but if you think it's a good deal, then what can you say about arum's $45M counter-offer to floyd under the same terms that floyd offered?

    also can you answer if which is the mroe fair offer out of the two:

    floyd's $40M guarantee w/out PPV upside?

    or

    pac's 50/50 offer?

    Lets just knock this outta the way

    The "skills" concept should be irrelevant because MOST viewers don't pay to see his skills/talent, they pay to see him lose. That's his draw. Most if not all Floyd fans even admit it.

    People watch Pac more likely because of his style and pay to see him fight.

    So the skills/talent argument has little bearing/correlation on their respective and comparative draw power.

    Thats why I said from the popularity standpoint its 50/50 and should be 50/50.


    However you have to admit the better fighter usually doesnt take 50/50 split.


    Like I said, did Pacquiao take 50/50 vs Hatton? No! infact he almost pulled out. And at that time Hatton was bringing in just as much revenue as Pacquiao and was just as popular.
