Pacquiao is Filipino, you're basing your opinion on popularity on American PPV numbers solely. Of course, that kind of myopia is to be expected on this agenda driven forum.
hatton was a crossover star from just before that fight the reason it didnt do as good as i could have was because over here in england it was free on sky would have done 1.2 mill easy if it hadnt of been
because they were 2 fan favorites, are you stupid? This is how sports work Someone you love vs someone you hate Pac wasn't hated and oscar wasn't hated. It seemed like a goodbye win for oscar, but it ended up being a shock.
You guys say yourself that half the people who buy floyd fights are paying to hopefully see him get his ass beat. What doesnt make sense about about it? In one post you talk about how floyd plays the villian and stupid people buy his fights to see him lose (which means they are buying his fights rooting for the other guy), then in the next you think its crazy to say that pac is the fan favorite. You dudes are so conflicting.....myst be all the xylocain you guys be taking straight to the brain
None of us are going to affect the settled purse split, this is just arguing on a forum. Someone is trying to ease their mind over their fighter being ******ed, and sorry to say, pacquaio's fans have nothing to worry about. Their dude is being straight up. Floyd is making the negotiations look like he is ducking again.
I pointed out a few times how its stupid to justify floyd making this demand, because even if his ppv numbers are a little bit better that demand will almost certainly cancel the fight. How the **** can floyds fans justify him making a demand that will destroy this fight?
This maybe true but all of the reports coming out haven't been validated. Pacquiao isn't exactly known as an easy guy to negotiate with, either. I believe that everything will be cleared up one way or another within the next two weeks and praise/blame can be issued at that time.
Look, every fight is different. If floyd fought Paul Williams, I think they'd be concerned about even having it on PPV. If pac fought Timothy Bradly, it might not even make PPV. The point of 2 mega stars is that both of them have their followings and interest in fights, without each other, they are just great fighters. They need a dance partner, and neither is more valuable than the other. 50/50 is obviously the way it should be done. If pac was demanding 60/40 he would be a fraud. Mayweather demanding 60-40 makes him look like a fraud.
Bull****. Two fans favourite still can draw large numbers. Look at Oscar v mosley. Look at tito v oscar. Look at pac v cotto. You don't need to be hated to draw large numbers. Just a sorry excuse for failing at the box office.
