Pacquiao and math

Looking at this purse split argument, in terms of ‘the numbers’ only, is a **** poor approach. It’s like saying someone must be cooking Spaghetti Bolognese, just because they’ve seen the chef simmering the pasta.

Just as there are more ingredients, blended to certain degrees, that go into making that famous dish, there are a lot of intangible and qualitative factors that go into promoting and drawing people to a particular fight.

The Pacquaio/Mayweather bout is a unique recipe never seen before, with both Boxers bringing their own blend of top quality ingredients to the kitchen. Who’s to say one party’s pantry holds more value than the other, when the constituents from both pantries are required to make the feast?

I doubt there is anyone, avidly involving themselves in threads such as this, who has the remotest amount of commercial acumen, required to justify their stance on the matter. Basically and as usual, it boils down to Fan Boy pot-shotting with little sense being derived out of threads going on towards 20 pages.

 

Are you that big of a moron old man? When did I say Cotto has no fan base? Don't kid yourself Mosley has a bigger fan base than your new hero who also beat your fishnet hero but was

by Pacquiao and you can't accept that fact.

And since you're using the "Everyone was there for ____" Who do you think the (MOST) fans will cheer for when Pacquiao and Mayweather fight? :rofl The answer is clear and it's not Mayweather.

BTW old man, I don't give a **** who has the higher purse I just want to see this fight happen, but saying that Pacquiao or Mayweather (I'm sure some people think that doesn't deserve 50%) is not credible to ask for 50% is just ******ed just like old man *** UliUli and ***llege.

 

I just read an interesting article from the Philippines and proposal that could make the fight happen.

Floyd wants 60%. Pac wants 50%.

They can both have it.

How?

First a 50/50 split is made. Then that 10% difference is paid by Bob Arum and HBO to Floyd. Bob Arum did it for Ricky Hatton in a similar way.

Both get the money they want. The fight happens. I like it.

 

Let's get this fight signed so I can get my tickets damnit! :thumbsup

 

Here's the problem - you were the most likely person to so spectacularly miss the point and - congratulations - you just proved that the form guide was correct.

 

Awesome news. This fight needs to happen.

 

I say we will leave this purse split sharing thing to the promoters and HBO for it's them who knows the whole financial picture of this fight and the previous fights of both boxers.

As fans, we should not really go deep about money matters. Yes we can voice out our opinions but it's half cooked since we don't have the full grasp of the whole financial matters.

We have some idea about the PPV buys. We knew that Floyd edged out PAC slightly in that category but we don't know the net earnings of their individual fights. We have no information about promotional expenses and other related expense.

It's up to the promoters/HBO to settle this purse sharing issue. Be it 50-50, 51-49 or 60-50. Making this fight a reality is what matters most.

 

Sounds like a 100/100 deal is close to being agreed, with the additional being funded by Bob Arum, and HBO chipping in 2% to the winner

so it's 102/100 done deal everybody is happy!

Now lets get this mother on!

 

why would arum chip in the additional 10% for floyd when oscar is his promoter? ok just give floyd his 10% so that we have this fight settled. i hope floyd would not ask again for something else.

 

That might just work...:good
