PBF turned down 65 Million to fight Manny Pac?

It's about money.

Even if it were true that Floyd was offered 65 million that's all he'd get. He could knockout out Pacquiao with the peachiest punch you ever saw. guess what? No bonus. :tick::nono:

If he switches over to UFC he can get some of that sweet sweet KO of the night bonus cash.

 

im a wee bit skeptical to say the least. everyone in the know realizes that the legit money in southeast asia comes from laos.

 

Myanmar has some cash stashed away too.

 

that's what I'm thinking too. If you're as rich and famous as Bob Arum is, you just can't go on camera and lying about making an offer without having to face a potential lawsuit.

 

I'm sure it wasn'T 65 million guaranteed. I think it's more of a case where 65 million could have potentially be reached if the ppv sale were amazing ( probably irrealistic ). Still, it was in most probability the biggest purse ever offered to a boxer.

 

I can't believe anyone is questioning the truth in this. Mayweather made 22.5 million to fight Mosely BEFORE ppv upside. After PPV upside the number is somewhere around 40 million.

Why is it hard to believe that 65 million could be guaranteed to him for this fight given the enormity of the event?

 

Destruction & Mayhem is a Pac fan?

 

It would be the best selling PPV ever. I am sure of that. The numbers that Mayweather and Pac do on their own is crazy. Put them together and you are looking at a ridiculous number of PPV buys.

 

I love lamp.

 

Oh yeah. It would break all records.

 

Yup it would utterly smash it!!

What THE FUCK is Floyd doing? That's my question

 

Seriously, this fight needs to be made or we all got robbed!

 

if it doesn't get made by the end of this year it would be the worst travesty in the history of boxing.

 

I agree but there is nothing we can do. Its all up to PBF at this point.

 

this is straight up lies..

I'd fight Pac for 65 grand!

 

I think we all will LOK :: Shit, I will fight him for 500K get my ass ko'd and buy myself a nice house cash money.

 

Sure you can. You can't be sued for lying.

 

Lets see......

Mayweather and Pac split 50/50. 65mill + 65mill = 130mill. So a 130 mill gurantee before paying undercard fighters or any other costs.

 

Undercard?

Shit, nobody pays for undercards for these big events anymore.

We'll probably get John "The Beast" Brown vs Joey Gamache Jr., fighting for a box of used shoelaces in the main supporting bout.

 

These guys don't fight for free. I guess you didn't see the payouts for the Pac-Mosley U/C. Was over a couple of mill if i remember correctly.

 

Pavlik $270K, Lopez $40K, Vazquez $165K, Arce $125K, Alvarado $50K, Narh $22,500. Fair enough, it's under a mill.

 

I'm no lawyer ( and Bob ''jew ouf of Harvard'' Arum is ):::: but I'm pretty sure you can when it's affecting someone reputation and business

 

This fight is already slightly past prime for both guys. The value has nowhere to go but down from here.

Funniest post I've read all year.

 

what is funny about it ???? Either I'm wrong ( wich I doubt, but will admit readily if so) or I'm not. If you know for sure, stop being a bitch about it and just out it.

 

People like you are the reason why all the bullshit promoters go out and feed bullshit to the public, because some actually buy it. Would you believe DLH if he came out tomorrow and said he offered Manny $70 million but that Pac replied "Only if no testing Sir!"? Bullshitters bullshit, it's up to you to decide if it makes any sense and if it sounds real that someone can offer a $65 million guarantee.

 

Could maybe be a good post if I didn't stated earlier that I didn't believe it was 65 million guarantee

 

No way this is real.

 

why not, DLH made 54 million for the floyd fight, pac-pbf would be even bigger worldwide.

 

Could he really be so neurotic as to turn that kind of money down!?

The answer is, I have absolutely no true idea. I do think he is scared very vividly, though. Perhaps partly by Pacquiao, but moreso by any true threat to that, '0,' (which he correctly regards Pacquiao as representing).

Maybe he did turn it down, who knows. I don't doubt he'd turn down a lot of money to avoid this fight.
