Floyd Mayweather Jr-Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

Probably the most important factor in this whole situation

Why?

 

[merklman]

Why?

This is what is most likely causing the hold up. This is the business side of things, how can a business deal operate without the receipts? How can you accurately calculate the splits without having the books open? Its the absolute bare minimum basics of business.
Unfortunately Arums word isnt so reliable . .

Should Floyd not fight Manny, who could he fight that would appease the casuals and the hardcore?

GGG at 154 is the only other option that would appease BOTH the casuals and the hardcore fan.

Okay, okay...makes sense.


And being that Pac has been fighting in China, only his fights he has in the US are filed with the NSAC (which those purses can be verified). I dont know how much Pacquiao made vs Algieri and I havent seen anything from the media with the exact numbers.


The last fight Pacquiao had in the States was against Bradley in the rematch and it was filed at only 6 million with NSAC:

The official purses for Pacquiao-Bradley II were $6 million apiece, according the contracts filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

But Arum claims Pacquiao was gonna get 20 million mininum paid out over the next couple of weeks

However, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao was guaranteed a minimum of $20 million, much of which would be paid out in the weeks after he collected his $6 million check on fight night. Both boxers also earned a portion of the pay-per-view revenue.

Seems shady to me, I would want ALL my money filed upfront. fukk that

It's the only fighter the casuals would be amped for and the hardcore fan would be watching like as well, because if Floyd beat GGG, he can just retire on the spot.



He would've just slayed the avoided Dragon of 160

Floyd refused to budge on the ppv revenue so they moved on... pretty simple.. Floyd had no intention of fighting Pac anyway.. Meanwhile Pac was the "A-side"

Pac/Marquez 3
live gate - $11,648,300(sell out crowd)
ppv - 1.4 million buys

Floydie/Ortiz
Live gate - $9 million(over 3000 unsold)
ppv - 1.25 million buys

Pacquiao was the A side(just like in 09) yet Floydie is still making demands like he aint B.. Still refusing to accept less than 100% revenue.. turning down 55/45 split. Offering flat rate demands.. He didn't want the fight breh

u didnt answer the question
how come arum had no problem fighting on may 2 (cinco de mayo btw, what happened to his stance on mexican pride) when he thought mayweather was going to be in jail, BUT THE VERY next day when he heard the sentence got pushed back and may said he wanted pacquaio, he said may 2 is IMPOSSIBLE and suggested june 9 when he knew mayweather was due to report june 1
this has nothing to do with a side b side revenue or anything because he deaded it from the very beginning anyway.
just answer

Simple...

Because Floydie was gonna fight on May... And it wasn't gonna be against Pacquiao... Floyd saying he wanted Pacquiao, was all talk.. It was basically Floyd using Manny's name to bring attention and Publicity to his upcoming fight in May against Cotto. And it worked.. why would Arum still push for Pacquiao to fight in May when Floydie had that day locked??

Had Floyd went to jail, Manny would've took the date.. Floyd was no longer even in the picture as one of Manny's possible opponents after he refused to budge on the revenue offering a flat rate while being B side

How they split up the revenue is none of your business

 

[Black_Jesus]

If Pac continues to duck floyd then i wouldnt mind Floyd/Garcia

We know breh.. you would rather see Floyd fight people we all know he can beat or has beat already like Cotto and Swift.. you probab4 would off yourself if Floyd took an L from Khan or Pacquiao

 

[onelastdeath]

so you cant tell what arum is doing or nah

Id like Floyd take an L from either of them. Id especially like to see him fight Pac, but evidently Pac dont want it It is what is

Pac dont want it?

Why was Floydie trying to reach out to Cotto's people?
