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

imo, the highest floyd could go is 55% and the lowest would be 50%

 

Floyds the bigger draw and being the bigger draw means he holds the cards.

 

Floyd wants 70% of the split. It's been reported by numerous sources. That's how far the fight is from being made. There is no way Pac's team would accept less than 45%.

I think they would let Floyd have a slightly bigger split, but 70%? That's ******ed.

We're can all talk about 55-45, 50-50, 60-40 with 20% going to the winner, but until Floyd get off of his bird's nest and start negotiating like he's serious, this fight ain't happening.

 

but pacquiao isent the bigger draw... and pac has allready agreed to being fine with taking a lesser split..

that being said even if 70/30 gets pacquiao 40m i still feel its a tad unfair.. pac is a smaller draw but he is def close to floyd...and in the same league ..

i feel 60-40 is a perfect number...

 

its called a duck

 

Lmao at SDs. I had feeling you'd respond to me so had a peak at your post. I've had you on ignore for a ****ing year you muppet.

 

It's Arum fault that Floyd health is at risk. If PAC was to be promoted by some other promoter than be would not be a health risk to Floyd no more.

 

i agree its a bull**** excuse- but i also think pac should leave arum anyway. he d make more money if he hired golden boy on a sub-promotional one fight contract anyway.

 

70/30 will not get Floyd in the ring with PAC...trust me. After watching Floyd recent YouTube rant on PAC that he was a smart man and no money can buy his health if he had to fight PAC. He even went as far as calling him a coward and you can see that he really mean it in the video too. The video is proof that Floyd is afraid of PAC...very afraid. He talks as if he would get in a coma or die if he had to fights PAC.

 

First off......Cotto landed flush on Mayweahter, and Pac would do so far more often......BUT.....Cotto hits harder than Pac. He's also the naturally larger fighter.

Secondly.....May took those shots well and fought out of every clinch. Watch the fight Farmy....then come on here and post your hate. I hate Floyd as much as you do, but he's got a solid beard and prove more mental toughness in that last fight than he had since he became MONEY.:deal

 

Pacquiao-mayweather will likely cost more than $60. That's how much Mayweather-Ortiz cost. I wouldn't be surprised if they set it $70-80. At 3 million buys that would be close to $250M, and the gate receipts would break $20M. I've said many times, I suspect Floyd wants $100M to fight Pacquiao as was rumoured before and confirmed by his dad and unlce. Pac taking only 40M might be the only way he can possibly do that (assuming cable comp. takes their 45% or whatever it is)

 

There's nothing wrong with Pac taking "only" 40 mil. He could by half of the Philippines with that. It's way more than he's ever earned.

If Pac wins, he eliminates a ppv competitor (as I don't see Floyd continuing) and his earning potential at the very least doubles. If he loses it's no big deal; he doesn't need money as he's a good Christian who "fights for the people".

The only reason Arum doesn't want this fight is because he knows it's the end of the road for his cashcow if he gets in the ring with Floyd. Hell, if Arum was confident of a Pac victory you'd think he'd gladly take no cut from the fight just so he could give it to Oscar again and get rid of Floyd.

 

Maybe nothing wrong with it, but that doesn't make it a fair deal relative to the situation. In a fight where the PPV sales will probably be the best ever, Pacquiao not getting a share of the PPV sales combined with taking far less general money than Floyd is a non-starter, and Floyd knows that.

 

After watching marquez easily beat pac id go for floyd by KO.

 

That's exactly what it would be. Pac's fights with Top Rank since he signed with them have generated over $500M in fight revenue, averaging close to $70M per fight since 08. Top Rank would be giving up a great amount of money letting Manny go if he has 3-4 fights left on his contract. Pac won't be buying it out.

Even worse that Golden Boy and Mayweather would be the ones to profit in probably the most lucrative fight of all-time from the guy Top Rank built up and turned into this massive megastar and draw. It's not happening, and for Floyd to demand it for the fight to happen is plain ducking.

If they split the promoters revenue 50-50 down the middle (half for Mayweather Promotions, Half for Top Rank) and also have an even share of the PPV and other revenue, or 48-52 if that's what it takes to satisfy Floyd's ego there shouldn't be a problem. Pac and Arum split their side however they have to (Pac pays Arum, Roach, Ariza), Floyd splits his how he needs to (pays GBP, Haymon, Ellerbe, Roger and his team) and they each share the promotional costs. Floyd wants alot more than that though, and if the fight doesn't happen it's all on him
