If Floyd doesn't want 50% he can have 40% or **** off. If he wants to dodge Marquez he should have to pay at least 200% of the the money for their fight. The guy can fight but he is such a dick, seriously.
True, he wants the chance to get back into No 1 spot he has to pay the price. Pac is The Man now. 50 % would be generous IMO. Having said that it shouldn't just be about the money, Floyd definitely represents Pacs biggest chance of a loss since Marquez II. Just get the fight made and lets see the best fight each other for a change!
Like I've been saying, whomever rejects a 50-50 split would be responsible for this fight not happening and thus would be the party deserving of the ridicule and scrutiny from the people. It's senseless to to blame either side at this stage for potentially ruining this fight seeing how both guys are targeting other opponents in their immediate futures. When the time comes however, and if one side rejects an even split then everyone can begin to FLAME ON. :fire
Floyd drew more than Pac years ago. On this day in the PRESENT Pac is undoubably the bigger draw and name. You only need to look at the awful of sales for the Marquez-Mayweather Jr fight. Just look at the amount of threads on this forum over the last few months. It's PAC Mania.
If Floyd Mayweather Jr was the PRESENT P4P Number 1 he would demand a split in his favour. Manny Pacquiao is the PRESENT P4P Number 1 in the world. Floyd is not. Pac is also the bigger name at the moment (even I am overloaded on all the Pac hype). Manny should get the bigger share.
I think we're all getting weary of Floyd's little act. I'm more interested in fights that are actually happening as opposed to what some semi-retired prima donna feels he should be getting paid.
So what? It's been since after the Pac-Hatton fight that the hype has gone into OVERLOAD. The way he destroyed Hatton impresses the average sports fan on the street and these are the people that push PPV into huge numbers. Why would the man on the street who doesn't know much about boxing want to watch Mayweather Jr box his way to victory using his ring intelligence and skills? Most of these people don't understand what they are seeing and will just think it's a BORING fight. Pac on the other hand is exactly the kind of fighter the average sports fan would want to watch. Pac is the bigger name, the best resume, the faster speed AND is the number 1 P4P.
Yea. Were still in it no? So Pac-hatton doesn't sell out till the week of the fight and THATS okay to you. But when JMM-Floyd isn't close you're talking **** on ticket sales.
It would appear, though, there was an alarming lack of interest in this fight. You think that army of Hatton fans bought their tickets, and booked their hotel rooms, in the last week?
