Serious question about Manny Pacquiao....

You're not seriously comparing Oscar's poplurity vs his opponents to Mayweather's vs Pac's, are you?

This isn't the same. As I said above this is much more akin to Ali/Foreman. They're both equals about this time. Oscar's popularity towered over Mayweather's at the time.

 

You have to understand. To be a Floyd fan you have to become an expert at making excuses for him. It's always something else, time and time and time again.

 

So, Olympic style drug testing for potentially the biggest grossing fight in boxing history is now 'unreasonable'?

And it takes hellified logical gymnastics to watch Pac walk away from the negotiating table, sign a deal with Clottey a week later, and somehow that becomes PBF 'backing out of a fight'.

Come on man. You're better than that.

 

Balcq would change his mind on the split if he saw a brief case full of single dollar bills :rofl :good

 

dude their popularity is evidenced by the ppv numbers, what part of that dont you understand:deal

if pac was more known than pac around the world, or even america, why aint he got more sales, even though he is more of a action packed fighter

i tell you why my friuend, when mayweather fights it aint just a boxing match its a darned event that appeals to hardcore fans and general public alike

 

they need 50/50 because they need each other to make this sort of money.

floyd v martinez
floyd v williams
pac v margo
pac v berto

none of theses fights make anywhere near what pac v floyd will. when will floyd realise it takes two to tango. 50/50 is fair or even 60/40 winner (if ko/tko) FAIR.

 

This is the reality. 50/50 of Pac/Floyd is more than 60/40 against any other fighter. That's what makes a 50/50 fight. And this is one of them.

 

definitely.:yep

 

wait a second floyd has always been a higher draw than pac and has always outsold pac against common opponents yet he agreed to a 50/50 split during the first negotiations so what has changed. maybe the fact that pac has agreed to the tests so he needs another alibi.

 

Floyd doing more buys in US PPV's isn't that much higher than Manny. Sure it's a little better but it's not like when DLH was around where there was NO ONE CLOSE to his stature. So with Floyd and manny they are neck and neck in the US in terms of their popularity and drawing power.

World wide! :yep PAC is Fighter of the Decade and 3 time fighter of the year. WORLD WIDE! Boxing is a global sport and more people recognize Manny over Floyd and most consider Manny the best P4P boxer over Floyd....WORLDWIDE.

With how Floyd runs his **** he has done a great job...but with all that work he's still neck and neck with Manny who leaves promoting to his promotional team. Floyd is his promotional team so him generating money is on him...PAC is a fighter so he fights. That's where the obstacles are coming into play...>Floyd wearing too many hats and thinking he's some kind of big time promoter without a licence.:rofl

If there were some kind of LANDSLIDE in terms of drawing power, credentials or popularity I'd agree with Floyd getting the lions share but there's NOT. Point blank there's not a big enough gap in terms of drawing power for Floyd to get the lions share.

It's not like DLH vs Yori Boy or DLH vs Gatti or Even DLH vs Floyd. DLH ALWAYS was the top dog. We have a unique situation here where there are TWO legit top draws who stand to break all records TOGETHER if they can finally sign a ****ing contract.

It's just funny to me that Floyd is the one who came up witht he original obstacle to kill the fight with drug testing that stemmed from accusations that were meant to discredit PAC.. And of course there wasn't a shred of evidence, proof or facts to support those accusations.

Now conviently the NEW obstacle in Rd 2 of negotiations are coming from whom else.....Floyd..:rofl Actions speak louder than words and all Floyds actions indicates he don't want to take the risk of facing Manny. I don't blame him but man the **** up and say so...Don't come up with smoke and mirrors just to avoid having to say the words...."I don't want to fight Manny"..:yep

I don't fall for BS....I call out who is creating the BS..:smoke
