Money May’s Take It or Leave It

By Robert Ecksel on January 26, 2012

“How can he leave me out of the pay-per-view when I generate more than him in sales?"

Manny Pacquiao has spoken about last week’s conversation with Floyd Mayweather and it was less collegial than we were led to believe.

The WBO welterweight champion told Nick Giongco of Tempo that Mayweather “said he will guarantee me $40 million, but I won’t have any share on the pay-per-view and other sources of revenue.”

If that’s true, it is not a good sign.

“How can he leave me out of the pay-per-view when I generate more than him in pay-per-view sales? I am still praying that Mayweather gets enlightened because I believe that I am not being unreasonable.”

   How much hype to we need!?? There’s no more hype OmG! There wasn’t this kind of drama with Ortiz, Mosley, Hatton, and other mutual opponents Floyd and Manny faced but this is despicable. Either Floyd has some serious debtors he has to pay that will want his freaking head if he’s doesn’t make them rich or he’s seeing this fight as the biggest payoff of his career and doesn’t believe he will see a bigger payday ever and wants to retire with the purse so going out with a blast IDK…..... Call him and the fans want you want flomos or whatever that childish statement is suppose to mean…. fans are fans whether there Pac fans or Money fans we all want to see the fight! For the love of GOD!

   so the duck for duck champ has found a new demand to ensure the fight won’t happen. well done duck. of course, the crackhead flomos will blame arum and the pacman for the fight not happening. that is just the way the crackhead thinks.

   Wow…...... Floyd needs to let some of the air out of his ego I mean he’s good but not that good. I’m all for Floyd in the ring, don’t know him personally, only media feed and we all know how that is! But come on dude you’re killing me Floyd….... you’re starting to kill boxing, if it’s really you being the corporate in this whole soap opera of lies and deceit I’m over this totally. I’m beginning to think these guys don’t care about the fans. As they say I’m over these two. They’re both scared if u ask me…. Smh.

   LOL, mikecasey. That won’t work, though; he’s got radar for defense, remember? He doesn’t even need to be looking in that direction - a skill Victor Ortiz would appreciate, I’m sure…

   Hit him quick while he’s got those shades on!

   Who are Mayweather’s advisors? I’m a big fan of Floyd’s, and I admire his ring talent tremendously, but man, he certainly makes me shake my head in disbelief (& despair) sometimes. No share of the pay-per-view proceeds whatsoever for Pacquiao? How greedy can one be? Does Floyd think anyone who puts up the PPV subscription fee if the mega-fight ever materialized, would do so only because of him? Man, I’m speechless…

   If this is legit of course Manny isn’t going to accept those terms.  I’m thinking the gross starts at 250M all things considered.  Fight fans I don’t think this matchup is ever going to take place kinda sorta like BHop vs. RJJr - they’ll be 50 years old and put on a 9.99 PPV that’ll get 50K buys.  It just seems silly (greedy) to me.
