Gurrero, mandatory: "Make the fight happen" - Floyd Pacquiao, mandatory: "Pac can have his belt" - Floyd :rofl:rofl:rofl
Let me know when Pacquiao and Bob Arum come out and say they will take the 25% purse the mandatory gets. You're smoking rocks if you think Arum would go for that. It doesn't matter what Mayweather says. Manny and Arum would have to be absolutely stupid to only take a 25% cut of the purse. Even at 35%, that's kind of low-balling them. Arum is a business man, and a very cunning one at that. If you think he'd take such a small cut in what is sure to be a 1 million+ PPV, you're nuts. Regarding the thread: Pacquiao doesn't duck, he is a fighter. Bob Arum runs the show. Bob is the dictator of Top Rank Promotions, and has been for many years. Including when Oscar and Floyd were with him. If you go against Bob Arum while signed with Top Rank, he'll put you out to pasture or sue you if you try to break your contract. Bob Arum does not mess around.
floyd the only fighter in history where the coward attached to his name. cherry picker, i think, rjj, leonard, were accused of at some point in their careers. ali fought foreman in his prime. floyd is asked to fight a midget.
Pac beats Cotto at any weight. Martinez needs to go away trying to get a shot at both Pac or Floyd an fight GGG or Move up an test him self there why he is trying to fight 147 lbs fighters anyways is beyond me.
mosley landed 40 punches against pac, got put on his ass, and ran like a little girl. cotto gave floyd his toughest fight, that's the difference.
this ***** still blaming Arum for the fight not happening? hahahahahaha does Arum have something to do with Mayweather saying he's giving up his belt cause his scared of Pacquiao? :rofl
If you think Bob Arum is stupid enough to only take 25% of the purse in a Mayweather/Pacquiao match up, you are insane. As a Pacquiao fan, I honestly see no scenario where Manny is only worth 25% of the purse as well. Manny has more drawing power than that, and it is sure to be a 1+ million PPV. Sorry, I'm a grown up who works for a real business. It's about this thing called "profit." If you think Bob Arum would make less profit "just because," then you're just trying to troll. If you think about it logically and rationally without getting all emotional like you guys do, you'd realize from a business point of view it would make zero sense to take a 25% purse. And once again: Bob Arum is the dictator of Top Rank Promotions. Manny Pacquiao doesn't duck anybody, he does what Bob tells him to do. Fighters have gone against Bob in the past, and he puts them out to pasture or files a lawsuit if they try to break their contract. Why people try to act like this isn't true is beyond me.
why do you keep putting Arum on this? they're not even negotiating the fight yet, and you're boy Floyd is running scared already. :rofl
Because nothing will happen without Bob Arum's say so. Are you dense? Bob Arum "owns" Top Rank Promotions. It is "Bob's company." If you honestly believe Bob Arum will accept a 25% cut of the purse in a Pacquiao/Mayweather fight, you are absolutely insane, or just trying to troll. It is sure to be up there with Maywweather/Oscar and Mayweather/Alvarez in sales. Example: Let's say it is a $100 million fight. You honestly believe Arum and Pacquiao would split $25 million and let Mayweather have $75 million? Seriously? Floyd offered Pacquiao $40 million and he hung up after saying "50/50" but now he's going to take a 25% purse which would be less than the $40 million that was offered before? Sure..... That's the difference between me and you: I'm a Pacquiao fan who can think rationally, you're just a *******.
whaat? :nut we're not even at that point. we're still at the point where WBC gave Pacquiao #1 challenger and Floyd immediately throwing his belt. have negotiations already begun? how can we even go to that point if Floyd's not bulging? he already said he don't want to talk to Pacquiao. and why does it have to be only 25%? school me on this.
Mandatory challenger gets 25% of the purse. That's why. This entire conversation is moot. If you honestly believe they would accept that. :huh
