Comments on: The Real Reason Why Mayweather And Pacquiao Haven’t Fought http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2012/05/07/the-real-reason-why-mayweather-and-pacquiao-havent-fought/ Fri, 24 May 2013 00:33:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Tulsa Tornado http://live.drjays.com/index.php/2012/05/07/the-real-reason-why-mayweather-and-pacquiao-havent-fought/comment-page-1/#comment-1460179 Tulsa Tornado Sat, 12 May 2012 09:37:43 +0000 http://live.drjays.com/?p=127453#comment-1460179 That's a lame excuse for Mayweather. That fight will break records because of Mayweather AND PACQUIAO. Top Rank being Pacquiao's promoter and having taken him from small PPV shows to the megastar he is today and 8-figure purses are entitled to get a return on their investment while Pacquiao is contracted to them. Mayweather pays Golden Boy millions to have them promote his fights, that's not much different except it being on a fight by fight basis. What Pacquiao does with his share of money from their fight is no business of Mayweather's, and if that's the reason he refuses to make the fight (he doesn't want Arum to make money from the fight) history will not be kind to him on this issue. I doubt Mayweather offering $40M and no share of the PPV was to entice Pacquiao to leave Top Rank, I believe it was just to lowball him. Mayweather's camp has stated in the past Floyd wanted $100M for a Pacquiao fight. Pacquiao taking only $40M might be his way of achieving this. Pacquiao is hardly going to cough up tens of millions of dollars to buy out a contract he renewed not that long ago. He seems happy with his promoter and grateful for where they have taken his career. And it wasn't Koncz who rejected the offer, Pacquiao himself is on camera laughing off Mayweather's offer of $40M and no PPV% and it was he who told Floyd personally it had to be a 50-50 split on the revenue before he handed the phone over to Koncz. Pacquiao clearly knows what he should be making from the fight, minimum $60-70 million, and how important the PPV and fight revenue % will be in a fight expected to break PPV and fight revenue records. That’s a lame excuse for Mayweather.

One thing I didnt think of til it was recently brought to my attention it the Mayweather offering Manny 40 million. Upon 1st look I thought he was lowballing him by offering him an impressive sum (but taking away his ppv profits), but recently a poster on a diff website, brought up this...Mayweather didnt offer Pac and TR 40 mill...he offered Pac HIMSELF 40 million! Most likely in an attempt to get im to try and buy out of his TR contract. Of course Koncz, Arums in-house spy was listening in on the call and squashed it. Good read though.

Reality is that it's a business, and right now Manny Pacquiao is Bob Arum's greatest asset, and he is not prepared to risk losing his greatest asset to Floyd Mayweather jr., a guy who I believe that Bob has a personal grudge against. It's a matter of business and honor (I guess). Yeah, a lot of people get too emotional and think that these fighters hate or are afraid of each other.
