"Pacquiao 74k Nike deal.." Is Floyd hating?

I don't think he was all that marketable back then to be honest with you, he was a great fighter but I don't think he was that popular from a marketing point of view for Nike to say "he's our posterboy for boxing because he's the best".

They took a chance on him and have been rewarded by how popular he's become since then, I don't think anyone at Nike could have predicted he would move up through the weights and become as popular as he has so I think it's fair to say they got lucky with the deal.

 

mate, thats not how it works here. you should at least provide some credentials first to show that you work on the gym or has some inside access to pac's camp if you would not provide a link or an evidence. though i don't necessarily doubt your story cause nike could certainly pay pac that amount of money.

but yes i agree, that floyd is a jealous *****. all i heard from him since ducking pacquiao is to malign him in the press and media.

 

link or stfu

also if like you say hes just sighned a new deal then whats the problem floyd aint talking about the new deal (if there is one) hes talking about the old one

 

hes a floydette, dont waste your breath:smoke, on this site it seems you either people like Pacman or they like Floyd, it rare you find any middle ground between the two:good

 

Also confused....

 

pac was well known already back then after fighting barrera, marquez and morales. pac had a huge following on the mexican market and of course he is starting to get known in asia. pac would be nike's face in boxing in asia. nike did not only took a chance on him. pac was labelled p4p the most exciting boxer taht time so that could have made it easier for them to pick pacquiao. of course nike could always sign two faces but decided just to stick with pacquiao.

 

the things is this, no1 cares about anyfing floyd says thats not boxing related becuz he chats **** alot. Can u remember who sed the"why u bring up my personal life i dnt bring up urs" and now floyd is bring mannys up

 

i think it was Nike recognizing that PAC has incredible influence in his country and that Nike saw a way to get in on the money in that region where he is from not to say they arent getting money frm that region...it just helps when you have such a influencing star as Pac from that area....also the fact that Pac is big in his country and or region but not as much influence in the USA leads me to believe that thats why they offered such a low amount.

could be wrong though...Usain Bolt has a contract as well and i would say he is just as popular no?

 

Who isn't?

You might be paying your bills in the caravan you're living in with glory but others use money.

 

How am I making stuff up?

puga_ni_nana claimed Nike signed up Pacquiao because they sign up all of the top sportsman in whatever sport they are involved in, I pointed out that Pacquiao wasn't the best back then and wasn't as marketable compared to other boxers, like De La Hoya if you want me to give you an example.

I've never claimed Pacquiao wasn't marketable and I do realise that their is a market in Asia which is why Nike sponsored Nakata too, however they didn't sponsor either because they were the best at the time which was the point I was getting at with my original reply.

 

Usain Bolt is with Puma.

 

atsch

Most need money but not everyone go to the extent of bordering greed. In your opinion do you think everyone should behave like floyd?

I need money, enough money to secure my future but I certainly wouldnt go that low.

 

If Pacquaio was getting $30 million from Nike then Arum would be the first one setting Mayweather straight with his claims.
