Floyd wants to complete cut out Bob Arum and offers Pacquiao awful deal. Ridiculous.

Floyd was playing to a totally clueless fan base and HBO/Merchant let him get away with it post fight. Floyd made it sound like it was the testing that was still the issue and then blamed Arum? WTF? It's your greed Floyd. Plain and simple. The current stumbling block is th3 50/50 and it is YOU that said YOU won't budge. This isn't rocket science but as long as the Floyd fans eat it up..... sigh...

 

Can anyone propose a reasonable split?

 

PAC MAKING 7.5 WITH BRADLEY...Floyd offered 40 million..

FLOYD BROKE THE RECORD WITH COTTO.YA Pac is ducking......******

 

Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?

Your lies are pathetic. You're like a woman.

 

50/50

Works before, why can't now.

 

bob arum is to blame!:deal

 

and guess what there will be a rematch and another 40 million and propbably a rubber match and another 40 million!

this is like best business they both can do, :deal

 

Honestly man,if the numbers are true from these reported official NSAC documents

Manny guarantees are about 6-8 million a fight. Now im sure he brings home much more,but just talking guarantee, I find it hard to argue 50/50 when Mayweather was just guaranteed 32 million,and was guaranteed 25 million against Ortiz. Now both fighters should bring home more adding the pay per view cut and so on. But if this if Floyds argument I cant argue against that.

Many predict the fight is worth 150 million. but looking at it from Floyds point a view hes guaranteeing Manny 40 million. Thats quadruple his reported biggest guarantee for a fight. If he gives Manny 50/50...then at best Floyd doubles or triples his biggest guarantee while Manny **** just goes through the roof. From a business standpoint thats just dumb.

IF those numbers are true, than man Floyd making a dumb business decision giving 50/50.

as for Arum...once i witnessed the guy talk about fighting May 5th when he thought Floyd was going to be in jail..then when he found out Floyd setenced was push back all off sudden Manny had a cut and couldnt fight May 5th, that pretty much done it for me.

Floyd bailed out Arum by not giving Manny a 50/50. Its easy to point at that and say thats why its not happening for just casual fans or just someone who hasnt been following it well. But before the money issue came to light it was excuse after excuse from Arum,cuts that needed 7 months to heal, willing to fight Marquez on May 5th but not Mayweather, the infamous we need to build an outside stadium...After hearing all that I just think Arum doesn't want the fight.

 

2.4 million buys equals a split of 75 million dollars? what makes you think even 3 million equals double this?

40 million seems low but if you think of this fight getting 3 million buys after everyone cut this offer is more like 60/40, I expect this post to be ignored and Floyd to apparently with his offer be taking home half a billion.

 

I just cannot believe that Manny only makes that little. Arum, while he lies, can't make public statements about IRS documents and percentages that simply aren't true (to my knowledge.) None of us have a copy of Pac's contract with Top Rank, but at the same time, no fight that I know of has ever been negotiated on the premise of one fighter's relationship to his promoter. That's irrelevant. And you last point rings true as well; Arum came up with excuse after excuse, and if Floyd had gave in to 50-50, there would have been no saving face...but he let him off the hook with that one.

 

:good

KINDRED SPIRIT! Finally! Another REAL boxing fan here who doesn't blindly support FLoyd, or Pacquiao. . . Few people around here who took sides with both, made fun of both, and praised both when necessary. . . In the past, it's been mainly on Pac for not making the fight, but the most recent time, it's ALL FLOYD. . .

Arum would get 27% of Pacquiao's share, which is the standard promotor's fee, so really Pac would get less than 30 million (BEFORE taxes), about the same as he's made for his Marquez, and Mosley fights. . .

It's just another way of saying "I don't want the fight" to make an offer like that. . . To cut Pacquiao out COMPLETELY FROM THE BACK END?! He deserves 50% of that revenue because HE WILL BE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE as FLoyd! It's FLOYD, AND MANNY that people want to see fight!

If there ever was a fight where 50/50 was fair, this is it. . .

 

55/45

 

Pacquiao ain't making no $40 mil vs anyone else. Floyd doesn't need pacquiao to make more than pacquiao will ever earn. I agree 50/50 seems fair but can see where mayweather is coming from.

 

That sounds reasonable enough. . . I think Pac would settle for 48/52, or maybe 47/53, which probably more accurately reflects the difference in revenue they generate.

No guarantees, etc. . Just a straight up split of ALL the profits. . .

 

So you can see where Arum is coming from by only wanting in-house fights?

You can see where Chavez Jr. is coming from when he elects to fight weaker opponents in Texas, or Southern California, rather than Martinez, because he can "basically make just as much"?

You can see where any boxer who has a good following is coming from by staying at home all the time, and never travelling to fight the best guys?

Come on now. . . With a 50/50 split, Floyd would STILL make the biggest payday of his career against Pacquiao, unless somehow the PPV busted and only did like 1.75 million buys. . If it's only 5, 10 million more than he normally makes? WHO CARES? Is it not still the biggest payday of his career? And who is making that possible? EMANUEL DAPIDRAN PACQUIAO!

You're an enabler. . . Enabling Mayweather, and other boxers/promotors to not fight the best available opponents.
