PBF turned down 65 Million to fight Manny Pac?

So you don't believe Arum actually offered Floyd $65 million like he said but you believe Floyd turned down the same offer?

Anyone actually taking Arum serious is either dumb or biased enough to believe bullcrap.

 

I'm sick of hearing about active fighters calling out retired fighters.
PBF said himself that he was not interested in fighting anymore & that he was retired.
Anyway, maybe PBF will respond with his side of the story soon.

 

I believe Arum played on words, where 65 millions could potentially be made if the ppv sales were amazing ( probably unrealistic expectation ), but that even with conservative ppv expectaion, floyd was still offered more than any boxer before. Yet, he turned it down. Again.

 

Correct.

 

WHAT?!?

40k for a co main event? Horrible! athetic:

Boxing is underpaying it's fighter! *skyfalling*

 

Winner.

 

Um, 40k > 15k. It's almost 3 times more actually.

Plus Lopez is an unknown scrub, where as Nelson is far better known and a TUF winner.

 

:: at boxing having comparable rates to MMA.

 

Agreed, boxing's rates are significantly higher.

 

The same people that don't believe Arum are the same folks that keep eat up everyone word that comes out of Camp Mayweather for example that Mayweather signed some contract to fight Pacquiao, but Pac didn't sign....

It's been over a year with the same bullshit YET Mayweather hasn't given any proof...of such contract...

Even if he did what does IT prove?? Anyone can have their lawyers write up a contract...and go ahead and sign it...shit Pacquiao can do the same shit tomorrow...

 

Not a co-main. Or even the chief undercard fight.

 

you believe this type of event would be simulcast on pay per view from singapore?

 

Bullshit. The only part in all this where I took Floyds side was over testing. I think he's scared about his 0, livid that PAC is considered better and an insecure man in general. That being said: there's no way he turned down a genuine offer for 65mil and if it proved that he did, I might have to use the C word to describe a fighter for the first time ever.

 

apparently 50 million wasnt enough so they upped the offer 15 mill! why should mayweather jr take the fight now? at this rate, if he waits a few months the Dalai Lama himself will offer him a jillion dollars to fight pacquiao in Katmandu.

 

Arce-Vasquez was the co-main event man.

 

If you plan on having a really fancy funeral i'd hold out for more.

 

This is a most egregious story. I can only assume that there is no truth to it.

 

Bob Arum wouldn't lie.

You have to love it.

Pac is not on Steroids.
Floyd is right not to fight him.

Great signature Irish!

 

You want your head knocked, typist? :dunno: She's been doing her crunches, and will blast your ribs to dust.

 

I heard it was actually $65 *billion*.

 

:giggle:

 

It was. $65 Bn US Dollars, which is around £4,327 and 12p.

 

Your grasp of math and your knowledge of boxing are about on the same level. Your ability to create a funny joke is somehow weaker than both.

 

:34::34:

This is America. Lie your fucking ass off.:egypt:

 

huh

so you guys believe that he turned down 40-50million, and not 65million??

 

Manny is not on steroids, and Floyd is right not to fight. They are both correct. Everything is OK in Boxing.

 

Floyd is a hero for giving up 65million in order to clean up the sport
