Mayweather Pacquiao on Forbes 100 Celebrity List

More Arum propaganda to try and make out Mayweather will be rejecting the fight if they can't agree on negotiations.

 

way to make a 5 year difference an analogy for this fight. which is not the case now. did anything went different after 6 months and 1 fight each? both are still big PPV stars in their own right. the fight is made big not by 1 man alone but because they will be fighting one another. 50-50 was settled just 6 months ago, why keep moving it? did you complain before when floyd agreed to it?

 

in which case, floyd has been seen right now as pricing himself out of this fight by demanding 60-40 or a 20% more share in a huge event like this.

 

It's a perfectly reasonable analogy, there's no difference for me if it's 5 months, 5 years or 50 years. Once you walk away from the table to fight someone else then whatever was offered before however generous can't just be taken for granted that that offer still stands.

Of course it did, Mayweather went out and smashed any PPV number Pacquiao has ever done in his life even with stars like De La Hoya and Cotto.

Both are big PPV stars but one is bigger, do you dispute that?

The biggest money spinning fight in history was made because 2 stars were fighting each other yet Mayweather didn't get 50/50, he respected that De La Hoya was a bigger draw and accepted a smaller portion.

He's not moving it, moving it would be what Pacquiao did with Hatton when the fight was agreed, Mayweather is coming to the table with different demands this time because it's a completely different set of negotiations.

 

Or Pacquiao is pricing himself out of the fight demanding to take home the same as someone who brings in more money.:good

Would you have backed Cotto if he had demanded 50/50 to fight Pacquiao?

 

you are comparing winky's status from 5 years ago and now to pac's status from 6 months ago and now?

floyd produced 1.4M ppv with mosley in a very muched hyped fight. pac produced 1.25M ppv with cotto in a not as much hyped fight compared to mosley. it seems demanding a a 60/40 is too much for floyd when he was ok with 50/50 before.

bigger but the difference is not wide to suggest a 60-40 or 55-45 split.

are you comparing floyd to oscar then and pac now to floyd before oscar? this is not even comaprable. your analogy again failed you in an effort to defend floyd.

nice choice of words. he moved it. people will expect that they would come back to the point where they have settled already.

so you think people will watch this mega-event because of floyd alone? 50-50 is fair for this fight so as to make it happen. we all want to see this, i hope you will also want this to happen and not just post for the sake of floyd's pocket. :good

 

What a ****ing clown!:rofl Shane isn't a draw! How could Shane vs Floyd NOT beat PAC vs Josh in PPV #'s. Better questiong....How the **** is an American born, self proclaimed greatest ever in boxing have competition in domestic PPV buys when he doesn't even live in this country nor speaks the language?

 

clowns like this dude loves to defend floyd no matter what! Are you gaining anything from floyds 60/40. If it wasn't the tests it would be the split. Its so obvious that floyd is to blame, but he will contunue to disregard public demands because he has ***** fans like this dude that defend every ***** move.

 

no they wouldnt...cus pac is the bigger draw

 

What country is this article from because it's only 11:00am here in the US June 30th ??????

 

I'm not sure about that.I belive the percentages are different for purse splits in the different countries,even with different tax obligations to the other country where the money was generated not being deducted or dealt with by the other country,completely separate.I always here about how the numbers of the buys and the purse are only U.S. and that the fighters made more money and sold more ppv elsewhere as well,that is not being counted in the media.Typical U.S. crap.The whole world knows we are an insulated country.It's part of why we are great but it irks me sometimes.Long story short,I believe the ppv revenue is split differently from the different countries,but not 100% for one fighter.Who would go for that?The other guy still exists.

 

i can only imagine if pac humilated floyd with payperview buys in basically EVERY way [just like how floyd has vs manny in real life] would pacfans disagree that manny gets 60 while pbf gets 40??

pacfans are a funny bunch..even to this day they surprise me with their lack of everything

 

Pretty much. If you are more famous when you fight whoever you will be a draw. They continuously put ridiculous spins on it to fit their agenda. Yet Pac hasn't been able to outdo Mayweather biggest and 2nd biggest PPV performances with ANY opponent even the same ODLH.

And for the ****** talking about Pac isn't expect to sell as much because he is non speaking English, not living here person. Then think about what you just said and apply it to negotiation and it still spins Floyd should be making more..

They lack intelligence.. well the supreme die hard *******s that is..



And on top of that, this is from Forbes. Which means the money they made is factual. Floyd made more money fighting Mosley ($40m) then Pac did fighting Clottey and Cotto ($35m) combined. Damn..

Regardless Manny better man up and take that 40-45 split to still make his biggest pay day or go on ahead and fight someone else and not even make a fraction of it. Either way that boy is going to get hurt.
