- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Dude take Manny's penis from your upper lip! Does it need to be broken down for u? Manny is not the fighter Mayweather is. Manny has loist what 3 times already and arguably he has lost 6 times (Marquez 3 times) and Mayweather hasnt come close to losing a fight and u say they should get a 50/50 split! My ass! Got Em!!
Bing bing! Got Em!!
Bing bing! Got Em!!
Listen, Pac lost earlier in his career. What happened earlier in his career has NO BEARING on what his market value/draw is TODAY. When he had those losses he wasn't on PPV. He wasn't even a contender (the first two) He wasn't even 147 lbs. His last loss was in 2005 and was by UD. He fought the guy (Morales) again and stopped him in the 10th. They fought one more time and he ko's him in 3. 1 loss by UD is nothing when you knock the fool out and also get a stoppage.
Also, to the bold, many people say that Floyd LOST to Castillo in the first match so you should brush up on your boxing.
So I'm going to break it down for you because you keep going on and on about nothing and keep on typing "got em" at the end of every fuckin sentence but you aren't reading what people are saying.
Lets look at the PPV numbers for Pacs last 3 fights and Floyds.
Pac: 3.86 million
Floyd: 3.65 million
Pac: Last three fights sold out (we're talking the arena)
Floyd: Last three fights not sold out (we're talking the arena)
P4P (we'll use RING since they're official)
PAC #1
FLOYD #2
So how the fuck can anyone say that Pac doesn't deserve a 50/50 or that Floyd is the bigger draw? How the fuck is he not the fighter that Floyd is when he is ranked higher, does more ppv buys and his last three venues have sold out? Are you talking skill wise? No he isn't the fighter Floyd is, he's a different type of fighter but they need to fight. However, being a different type of fighter and having a different style doesn't mean he should get less money. That doesn't make any sense.

Just to add a bit to this, Castillo out threw, out landed, and bullied Floyd throughout a good chunk of this fight. Floyd did the right thing and beat him clean in the immediate rematch but that was probably the only Floyd fight I've watched where I thought he lost. I don't really care about the whole Mayweather/Pacquiao fantasy fight soap opera but to say Floyd has never to come to losing is retarded, he didn't come close if you just boxrec the scorecards but if you watch the fight you'll see something a lot different.
I think the second fight with Castillo proves that Mayweather was injuried the 1st time around because he clearly beat Castillo. Did Manny clearly beat Marquez the 2nd or 3rd time around??
FYI, Castillo lose rounds 1-6 of the 1st fight. So are you telling me that Mayweather didn't win another round the whole fight?? Because I had Mayweather winning both the 11th and 12th round. It was a great all action fight close fight that Floyd won.

he actually doesn't promote himself he has golden boy promote him on a fight to fight basis.
But floyd being a smart business man and taking home a higher percentage of the cut is irrelevant and that's what you don't understand.
If floyd & pac take an even split of 50/50. Let's say it's $80 million each as an example. Floyd can pay his $10 million to golden boy or whatever it may be and he'll take home $70 million. Pacquiao he has to pay much more money to top rank, so let's say he takes home $50 million. Floyd will make more money than pacquiao at the end of the day even with a 50/50 split. But that isn't the issue, not even close. Why should floyd or anyone else care what pacquiao does with his share of the money? It doesn't matter one bit. Pac could donate 100% of his money if he wanted to, what does that have to do with anything?
The deal breaker is what Floyd offered Pacquiao - a flat fee of $40 million (he said $30 million later). Again, how can anyone say that is fair in the richest fight in history? Floyd will take $80-$100 million and pac takes $40 million?? That's not even a 60/40 split. You guys have to use your heads.

This is also dumb logic.
Did David Haye prove he's the best heavyweight in the world when he fought Wlad Klitscko? What was the purse split? 50/50.
Why was it 50/50? Because everyone knew Klitschko vs Haye was the biggest heavyweight fight, money wise, since Lennox Lewis versus Tyson. It didn't matter that Klitschko dominated the heavyweight division for many years and was the man at HW. It didn't matter that David Haye didn't really do anything at Heavyweight. The point was that only them TOGETHER could generate that kind of money.
Same goes for Pac vs Floyd. You can say floyd is better all you want but at the end of the day, Floyd is never going to make that kind of money against anyone else besides Pacquiao. And the same goes for Pac. It takes them both to be the richest fight in history, not floyd vs cotto, pac vs bradley, floyd vs ortiz, pac vs marquez, etc etc etc.

Here is floyd on NBC with Bob Costas and Floyd says he's used to taking "100%" of the PPV revenue, so why should I give pacquiao anything? He said its Self preservation. smh

^^^if anyone watches this clip and still can defend floyd about the split you're a certified hoe. He just said he doesn't want a 50/50 split of the PPV he wants 100/0 split.

Ok butthurt man u seem a bit sensitive. I guarantee u if Floyd fought a nobody and if Pac did the same thing Floyd would generate more money and buys. Floyd is the bigger draw no matter how u put it. Pac has gained over the last couple of years but he still isnt in Floyd's class. Also even if u wanna say he lost to Castillo, that was yonders ago and it was a close fight. Here is the difference, Pac lost multiple fights and even if u wanna say they were a long time ago, he lost this last fight to Marquez so whats your point? Manny is very beatable and Floyd isnt period! Holla at me pimp! Got Em!!
Let em know playboy! Manny losing fights now that he has no business winning haha. Forget the old school fights! Got Em!!

I don't agree with Castillo losing the first 6 rounds at all. Round 4 was one of his best rounds when he started coming on (and one of the first 3 was extra close I remember don't remember exactly which one) and I thought Castillo definitely won the final round pretty clear. Castillo did have a point deducted and I always thought he landed a good amount of below the belt shots that weren't really called.
I had Mayweather winning the 1st Castillo fight 7 rds to Castillo's 5 rds.
Mayweather vs Manny might never happen and I don't care one way or the other. Bob Arum wants all the money and Mayweather the guy that's actaully fighting in the ring wants to make all the money. Manny better hope he beats Bradley or him turning down that $40 million is going to hurt.
