    Any young hungry lion is worth more of a fight then PAC, PAC is a piece of cake. The only problem is Floyd is allergic to cake.

    ESPN's Dan Rafael explained the matter in layman's terms in a recent chat and wrote:

    The typical Mayweather fan together with the pom pom boy groupie
    This content is protected
    writers took it as a sign that their man indeed deserves a bigger split as opposed to the 50/50 split Pacquiao proposed.

    "The figures written a Nevada contract are not necessarily the real number for big PPV guys. They get most of their money off PPV generally. So if Manny's "official" purse is $8 million fine. But he is guaranteed in his contract with Top Rank (which is not something the commission would have or release if it did) something like $20 million or whatever. The money is the money. One of the reasons for the disparity is because Manny is not a US citizen and is often paid a large amount of his money through his Filipino promotional company and deals in the Philippines for things like the television revenue there. So while it looks like a big difference it is not in reality."

    With all that said, it only justifies Pacquiao's stand to turn down the guaranteed $40 million Mayweather offered him for a fight, as long as he waived his share of the PPV revenue.


    Mayweather was being shrewd, but Pacquiao is not as gullible and foolish as some might think. As it is, the whole NSAC numbers controvery is proving to be yet another spin as to why Mayweather can't fight Pacquiao and vice versa that preyed on the many boxing fans who are naive when it comes to the business of boxing.

    "So folks can keep on drinking the kool aid. But they dont get how the business actually works when it comes to fighters from overseas. I once covered a world title fight in Vegas with a champion from South Africa in say about 2002. His Nevada contract for a world title fight said his official purse was like $1,000. But he was making more like $50,000 because of the TV money from South Africa. You can do anything with numbers. What is written on the Nevada paper for big time fights isn't worth the paper it is written on," Rafael would put things in perspectve.

    Another shut out win for Manny and it returns to being the biggest fight in boxing.

    How do you know what Haymon is paid? Plus, since he is being paid from Floyds Promotion company he can write it off as a business expense.

    There's no fight more competitive for Floyd at WW regardless of whatever the scared ass *****s say

    Bitches are just trying to justify Floyd's inevitable duck of Pacquiao

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl


    and no there's no fight more profitable at any weight either, aside from Vitali vs Wlad probably

    Martinez at 160.

    If you mean just 147, then nobody. Maybe Bradley, but that wouldn't exactly blow up the box office. I don't see Pac or Bradley winning more than 3-4 rounds either.

    At 154

    GGG would be a harder fight than Pac (provided GGG is not too drained by moving down in weight)

    Erislandy Lara would be a very tough test too, Lara is a skilled fighter with good pop and great mobility, unlike the flatfooted mexicans Floyd loves to feast on


    ofc, there's zero chance Floyd will take any of those matches, too risky and could be bad for his health

    7.4 was what was "reported" to NSAC. His guarantee was far greater than that (let me assure you). Pac is a non-US fighter which means there are various ways to pay Pacquiao and he won't be subject to US taxes. I would be doing the exact same thing. The taxes in the US are ridiculous.
