Pacquiao and Mayweather to begin negotiations tomorrow

They'll probably agree on 17-19 days for the cutoff period.

 

Is this really true or is this what Schaffer just said?

I still think the oscar v mayweather promotion was way bigger than this. It was definitely more hyped. I can remember nearly every news station, magazine reporting on the fight. How many interviews did floyd do for the mosley fight? He did tons for the oscar fight.:think

 

NUMBERS AREN'T OFFICIAL...LUKE JUST USES THEM LIKE THEY ARE CUZ ITS A "NEGATIVE" TOWARDS FLOYD...HE JUST DOESNT LIKE FLOYD...WE'LL SEE WHAT THE "OFFICIAL" NUMBERS ARE AND THAN HE CAN TALK $HIT..TILL THAN THERE IS NO OFFICIAL NUMBERS RELEASED YET:good AND 1.1 MILLION IS A RUMORED NUMBER

 

:!:

 

Yeah, it's true.

They spent more money promoting this fight than any fight ever.

I think the most damage to the fight was from the critics all giving shane no chance. And many casual fans are so pissed of pac/may 1st failure that they don't want to watch them fight other people.

 

Manny just take the drug testtttttttt....

 

What? It's on ESPN today that it's a little more than 1.1

I don't want the number to be that low, that ****ing sucks for boxing(as I actually like the whole sport)

 

I think its got to the stage where people will only believe this fight is hapening when the contracts are actually signed, people nearly expect that something somewhere will go wrong in negotiations.

 

Show me...I read that it wasn't "official" on espn man..

 

That may not happen the second time around, though, depending on how the pay-per-view numbers shake out from their other bouts. Pacquiao-Clottey generated about 700,000 buys while Mayweather-Mosley is expected to be over 1.1 million.


From article in this thread.

 

60/40 to the winner **** it!

 

Lets hope they can work it out this time.

 

These primadonnas better come to a ****ing agreement this time around

 

50/50 is a fair split IMO. Both fighters have proven themselves over the years, and both have switched positions as the sports #1 P4P. Even though I am a Mayweather fan, a 60/40 split for Mayweather even though Pac is #1 p4p makes NO SENSE to me, but then again that's just my opinion.

Let's be honest here, either way the split goes Pac will make more money in this fight then his last 3 fights combined, so I don't really think he can complain about it.
