    Gotcha! Floyd only fights GBP in-house fights.
    So basically, you guys agreed that he turned down the counter-offer to his $40M under the same terms. :good

    Essentially, Pac-Bradley2 sold the same number of PPVs as May-Maidana + Khan and Broner in the undercards. 50/50 if the fight happens now.

    you didnt get anyone....you implied that theres no way floyd could magically know hed get the canelo fight....when there is of course always that possibility since canelo is a gb fighter and worked with schaefer......thats all i said....nothing more or less

    didnt manny say id take less than 50/50? yet hung up and said 50/50 or nothing? then it becomes "ill fight for free for charity"

    Again, showing your stupidity. So Pac-Floyd makes 2M PPV like Canelo. May-Maidna did 900K. The Pac-Floyd fight generates roughly twice the revenue. So you insist SHO should pay Pac 40M+ compared to 2M for Maidana? 2x revenue yet Pac deserves 20x pay? Not going to happen. SHO is not Pac's charity.

    After Floyd tried to LowBall Pac into accepting a $40M flat fee without any PPV upside, Arum offered a $50M flat fee to Mayweather under the same terms. Arum immediately saw through Floyd's offer and tried to mock it by declaring his counter offer which Floyd naturally rejected or did not even bother to think knowing that it's still a lowball for a fight of that magnitude.

    Pac-Floyd would have made at least 3M buys back then and it's still possible now. Huge venue sales and money from sponsors. Mayweather and Arum knew this that's why they offered the $40M and $50M offer.

    did pac ever sat "hey floyd thats kinda low ya know man? ...how bout we start there and if the fight reaches revenue goals/ppv numbers...i start getting a bigger piece of the action"....i think that would have been fair/reasonable.........but again heres a guy who said he was willing to take less....then when he gets an offer....he doesnt even try to negotiatie....he just says 50 or nothing...and hangs up

    whatever arum said/did after that isnt relevant.....because that original call didnt even have arum in the picture....it was between floyd and manny.......manny could have worked with floyd to get some sort of deal together....then told bob he wanted the fight and that bob should step aside....

    instead manny contradicted previous claims and said 50/50 or nothing and hung up...and at that time...manny was not in line for 50 percent

    50/50 at that time is the fair offer more than a flat fee without a PPV share that could have a potential to generate a great amount of buys. Arum knew that the offer was BS for a fight of that magnitude and fielded his own offer.

    Floyd low balls everyone

    Cannot believe how he pays career low pay days (considering the overall money involved)

    To maidana Ortiz and ghost

    When you fight pacquiao you earn a retirement fund

    When you fit Floyd you get low balled

    part of that 40 mil share already has ppv numbers factored into it...exactly what kind of split it would have been/could have been is unknown....also that is all pacs money...as arum would have had money paid out to him as well......

    and like i said....pac could have said "thats a decent starting point mr mayweather....but lets talk turkey.....ill work with ya....but i want some more money once we start hitting certain numbers".....and THAT would have been fair

    again you skirt around pac saying hed take less than 50/50.....yet hangs up when an offer his made and someone reached out to him and says "50/50 or nothing" and hangs up....thats a guy who isnt even trying.....at the time that offer was made pac was NOT in line for 50 percent.......the reason arum made his bs counter offer is cause he was pissed floyd went to manny directly and that he was looking to cut arum out of the promotion

    It's called the Pacquiao sweepstakes. Being Mayweather's opponents is just a consolation price in comparison since Mayweather gets most of the loot + his named undercards to jackup the PPV buys.

    And the 50/50 counter offer from Pac is more fair and the right response to Mayweather's LowBall offer. $40M is nice, if Pac was fighting Ortiz or Guerrero but thst fight was tipped to smash the existing PPV records and to put Pac out of the PPV loot is crazy and a bad offer.

    lets face it....a guy like marquez? hes worth every penny he gets fighting pac....prob more.....now a guy like bradley? hes prob actually worth about what a guerrero or ortiz got to be fighting pac......bradley got some money for his rematch cause he was needed.....in reality if arum cared about pac bradley would be gettin like 2 mil and more would be goin into pacs pocket so he could pay his taxes
