    What compromise ?

    "I am willing to take the smaller cut."
    Sentence gets pushed back.
    "50-50"

    How is that compromising ?:conf
    And Floyd is the same. He and his damn ego.

    In the grand scheme of things, saying he'll take the smaller cut is in the bottom rung of the totem pole. It's an overture...a way of enticing Floyd to negotiation. It's obviously not an agreement for him to get financially ****ed over. 49.5 to 50.5 would be considered taking the smaller cut. Saying the other party doesn't deserve any reasonable cut, however, is a surefire way to kill any kinda talk. Besides just read the article, I'm not about to regurgitate the explicit instances Pac made concessions to the constant roadblocks Floyd continues to put up.

    As it currently stands, if Pac is bluffing, if he's just talking out of his ass...then Floyd should just call his bluff. Like I've said, it's "actions" or what you do that is important when assigning blame. Esssentially this is what Pac did, he called Floyd's bluff when he tweeted "step, up punk". That in itself is an act of doing, an act of wanting to get the fight made. That said, to say that Pac is talking out of his ass would be inaccurate now wouldn't it. To top it off, Pac making overtures of taking the smaller cut is also another proactive "action". On the flipside, Floyd calling out Pacquiao and then promptly setting up another roadblock when he obliged is an act of posturing. Posturing is also an action, but not the kinda action to be expected from a guy talking all that ****. All sizzle, no steak.That is the apt example of talking outta yor ass.

    But your point is that PBF made an unrealistic offer, because he's not a "serious buyer", essentially pricing himself out of the fight...this opinion is predicated on the idea that there would be 150 million in PPV revenue for the fighters to split, yet Floyd offered Manny 40 million. This makes the $150 million in PPV revenue relavent to the discussion, does it not?

    Whoever generated the estimate is either ignorant to the process, ******ed, or simply didn't even make a reasonable attempt to get the "estimate" close to realistic. For a fight to generate $150 million in PPV revenue for the fighters/Promoters to split it would have to do 5 million buys at $60 per buy...do you feel this is reasonable, as in a good faith guesstimation? Obviously you can play with the math and raise the price and to lower the buys, or increase the buys to lower the price, but for simplicity I used $60. Not sure if you're aware but the total revenue generated is immediately cut in half by the distributors/Networks to get their payout. So in order for a PPV to have $150 million in revenue for fighters/promoters to split, it would have to be a $300 million dollar gross. Which equates to 5 million buys at an average of $60 per buy, 4.6 million at $65 per buy, 4.285 million at $70 per buy, etc all the way down to 3 million at $100 per buy, do you believe this is realistic?

    This could backfire though, cuz then he'd be accused of ducking both PAC and Martinez as 154 lbs is a legit weight for Maravilla.

    Let's say 40million flat is about 45%, why doesn't just Mayweather offer PAC an offer like that? You, know, in a percentage terms. I'll tell you why dip****. It's because Mayweather knows 45% would be significantly bigger than 40mil. So shut the **** up with defending your idol and get back to sucking dicks ******.

    Excellent points by the article. The arguments are sound. I expect the *****s to avoid tackling the issue altogether and go talk about side issues instead. Like how Pacquiao is stupid for getting screwed by Arum for example. Or nitpick on the minor details but totally ignore the main points.

    Yup. When everything is thrown into the pot (sponsorships, gates, foreign money, bla bla bla), 50% of that would be considerably higher than $40 million. Floyd knows that. Thus making him not a serious buyer.

    The "It's all Arum's fault" tangent seems to be their last straw to grasp on, or the slight concession of "they're both equally at fault" bull**** which this article reasonably debunks. A month ago the rallying cry was "Pacquiao's ducking". But it can't possibly be Floyd that's the culprit.


    Denial...it's just not a river in Egypt.

    No one is disputing it would be more than 50%...no one, yet between all of you guys NONE of you, literally NONE have put a pen to paper and even remotely attempted to defend your position with any sort of logic, reason, or legitimate figures, "thus making you not a serious buyer".
