Mayweather asking $100 million to fight Pacquiao

Hearing the same thing over and over, it gets old and eventually you don’t give a crap. I am talking about Floyd Mayweather Jr. fighting Manny Pacquiao, how many times have we heard about the possibilities of them fighting?

According to Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, there was a third round of negotiations. No one knows where they took place as it was kept private. At this point, it could of have taken place in Batman’s cave, who knows? Bob Arum visited Pacquiao’s training camp in Baguio City earlier this week and told Filipino reporters that there had been a more recent “private negotiation” for the fight.

Let me cut to the chase, according to Arum, Mayweather was asking for $100 million to fight Pacquiao. That’s right, $100,000,000! Seriously, if you don’t want to fight just say “no”. Demanding such a high number simply indicates that he didn’t want to fight. That’s Mayweather’s way of saying no, you price yourself out.

It was rumored that in the last negotiations, each side would take 50 percent of the revenue with a guarantee of $50 million payday plus a share of pay-per-views. It’s hard to understand why someone would turn down such an offer, I mean, who else can offer you $50+ million for a 36 minute fight and that’s if it goes the distance?

What’s your opinion, do you think this fight will ever take place?

  1. @cola, Maybe you think he’s worth $100 Mil but he ain’t that great and nobody is gonna give him that kind of money. If he’s gonna be complaining about making 50 Million and can beat Pacquiao so easily as he thinks then why not get that easy money and take him out? Too many games on his part and I agree I think he can beat Pacquiao but the crap he’s been pulling is making me really doubt him now. If they cant make a fight by early next year they should both just retire because plenty of talent out there I won’t miss either one to be honest, boxing doesn’t need these cherry pickers.

  2. what everybody is failing to see mayweather is going to get the money and he’s going to beat pacquiao easy i’m taking all bets

  3. @ Jay — well said. Mayweather is, for all intents and purposes, dead in the water. He is so afraid of losing his ‘0’ that he will not risk fighting anyone who might take it away from him.

    I don’t care what ANYONE says – this is not the heart of a true champion…it is the heart of
    a scaredy-cat. Any comparison between Mayweather and any other REAL champs will bear this out – Joe Louis, Ali, Foreman, Holyfield, etc etc etc…they fought EVERYONE who wanted to fight them. This is the first time we’ve ever seen this – a fighter who is scared to fight.

    Sadly, his legacy will NOT be what he envisions it will be – rather, it will be a legacy of someone who had ring skills, but spent the PRIME YEARS of his career ducking and dodging, coming up with the most stupid and transparent of excuses to avoid fighting people that a TRUE champ would be very eager to fight. Nah – he’s a lost cause. And he’ll have to live his life out knowing in his heart that he ducked the best fighters of his time — and he’ll hate himself, and be miserable, on account of it.

  4. Mayweather is finished no matter what he does. He will never be the best cuz he never beat all the best and never made an effort to do so, So he’ll just have to settle for one of the best. Even if he wanted to he cant achieve what he cliams to be which is “TBE”. The simple fact is Floyd is too afraid to do what it takes to be the best. There are still some good fights for Floyd out there but he’ll never be a greater champion than those he will be forced to face, and I do mean FORCED. People like Cotto, Martinez, and Pacquiao are great opponents not to mention a few others. There’s no good reason why Floyd cant fight all these guys. Just because some ppl including mayweather might have the opinion that he could beat them doesnt make it so. If they never fight we will never really know. “The Saddest Story In Boxing” has been told and this is the end of the circus that is mayweathers career. I just want him to take the fight and get it over with already. I want Pacman to win but honestly I dont care anymore because no matter who wins I’m convinced Floyd will never fight again and that my friends will make me the biggest winner of all. Because I will never need to hear anything about this FOOL ever again.

  5. @Melvin – you know, it’s funny, man. It’s people like YOU who continue to propagate racism in this country. The fact is, MOST people in this country are NOT racist. If they were, do you suppose we would have a Black President? A MAJORITY of Americans put him into office. YOU, Melvin, have become the racist. Your seething hatred of white people is so ingrained and immutable that you are utterly beyond changing yourself, and your childish and misguided opinions. People like you make me ashamed to be Black. GET YOURSELF INTO THE THE 21st CENTURY. Things are changing. Meanwhile, you keep your head in the far, far, distant past. Why? Because it gives you a built-in excuse to be negative, bitter, and do nothing of value to yourself or anyone else. Worthless, in other words.

    The fact is – Mayweather DOESN’T FIGHT ANY MORE. The Great Joe Louis (ever heard of him?) fought up to 15 fights per YEAR. Real fighters FIGHT. Mayweather is too caught up in his wife-assaulting, child-abusing legal troubles, and counting his money that he can’t CONCENTRATE on fighting.

    I understand you so well. And my advice…? Change your MIND. Learn! Educate yourself. YOU have control of your life. Grab it. It doesn’t last long. Lose the hate. It destroys the soul, as is so clear in your message.

  6. It’s really alot of racist ppl making comment nd Just by what they say u can tell it very obvious b/c if there was a great white hope as a boxer which there isn’t any more b/c most blacks dominated the sports over the years n b/c there r no more left. No white ppl hv so Manu negative things 2 say b/c this is another sport that they had 2 pack up and get out and all they hv left is lacrosse and hockey quick blacks dnt want b/c it’s boring and of no real meaning and that’s the truth and u all u blk white hater nation can say what u want about mayweather b/c he makes his own decision and making all the big bucks while u keep hating b/c that only makes his ratings as well as his status goes up. So I c just how ignorant u guys r.” he is the one with no loses whether u want 2 give him the credit or not so he can demand how much $ he wants all he wants 2 b/c he knows all the white pol in the world will pay 2 watch him fight even tho u sit on here and bash him and hate on him. It kills the white race 2 c a Blk man make so much $ in each fight that ur so bored with ur life after all the Years so forefathers stole from other countries as well as enslaved ppl nd still doing it till this day and u nd ur ppl r still propheting off of all the evil ur ppl nd y got the nerve 2 sit here and call a Blk man a name or even b so jelous of him that u can’t even give him the credit that is due.” how ignorant nd racist must one b 2 show more of the prejudice ways that was instilled in him from day one.” get a real life rbi and stop living the fake one that u bin living all these years and stop hating. If u dnt believe anything else I say. Mark my words,” mayweather will get what he wants an u and every other ignorant person that talked about him will pay every $ of it 2 c him and betting against him 2 loose and knowing deep down in ur hearts that he will win nd then what will b ur excuse then.” he will a can be that packbum on any giving day without trainih and u know no one trains better than the mayweathers so stop kidding ur selfsame and get ready 4 the upset that u and everybody else know that will happen. U all so stupid that u couldnt even figure out 2 this point that mayweather is so smart that he would even fool u and everybody else 2 think that he was afraid and putting this fight off. U

  7. One more thing lol. I hope manny doesnt just win, I hope manny dominates. I want manny to destroy and swell his face just like margarito, not just that I want manny to knock him unconsious. I want floyds punk ass to indure all the things hes been hidding from his whole career. Floyd really, really, really, really, really wants people to love him like we do other real champions but theres something floyd just doesnt understand(ITS HARD TO LOVE AN ASSWHOLE!!!!!!)lol good bye clown. Cant wait to forget you. Your legacy will be “the saddest story in boxing”.

  8. HA ha Ms.Chloe aint got shit on me lmao. I must be able to tell the future. I said “mayweather will take the fight when nobody cares any more”. A hundred million lol what a loser, If ppl didnt believe he was scared before they have no choice but believe it now(I know I do). Floyd should just wait another year so it could be a total disappointment like Hopkins vs jones 2. Just when I think floyd couldnt show any less class he proves me wrong. His entire career has been an illusion so at the end of it he can clame to be “the best ever”, Im totally convinced that has been his plan his whole career. That zero is truly presious to him thats why I always said hes a second rate champ and will always be a second rate champ. His new name is “the saddest story in boxing” and when he really retires noone will care that he came and noone will care that he left. So much for his legacy the only legacy he’ll leave is that of a COWARD and I dont throw that word around lightly. The real sad thing is even if he beats pacquiao it wont matter because hes already been exposed for what he is, a spoiled brat, punk, glory hound who doesnt care about the sport or the fans. I’ll predict the future once again for you guys and mark my words these things will happen. If this fight happens floyd will retire for good no matter who wins. If he wins his cucarratcha,bandwaggon jumping fans will come out of the woodwork were they’ve been hiding for months now and say we new it all along which of coures is bullllshiiiit and for sure floyd will say the same. If he loses he’ll retire for good because thats the kind of bitch he is, just like prince ahmed. The best thing that could happen is that mayweather loses because there’s nothing more hummbeling than getting you ass whopped. Floyd is right when he says hes an entertainer, he has been the most entertaining clown and waste of talent boxing has ever produced. I for one wont miss him at all.

  9. according to bob arum???? these 2 corners have been throwing bombs at each other for the last couple of years…. bob says mayweather said this and mayweather says bob said that. they all full of shit. excuses are made from both sides so they can milk this fight.. and for pacman to go to court like a lil bitch makes this matter even worst. both sides hate each other and they both acting like bitches. but one thing i do know is that this fight will happen mark my words. both sides are to greedy for this not to happen….

  10. i think that is what mayweather’s price in mind for staking his ass to be get woopped,he is like selling his first defeat for a 100 million, that dude is full of BS!hahaha

  11. Y’all got to admit as much shit mayweather talks he still one of da greats along with manny… I say give da man what he wants cuz I want to see these 2 go at it and I know u do too…. Sergio Martinez and James Kirkland is a fight I wanna see too!!!!

  12. Thank you Eric, I feel the same way. Mayweather needs to go away and tend to his legal problems before he can make any demands. It’s that simple

  13. Jesus Christ on the telephone. I’ll tell you the truth – I don’t give a tinker’s damn if these two fight or not. Matter of fact, I’d as soon deny Fairweather the payday.

    A hundred million fish, he wants for this fight…? I have a message for you, Floyd:

    STICK IT UP YER ASS.

    If I never see you ‘fight’ again, it would bother me not at all. And you’re entirely
    correct, Edgar. I’m sure he thinks he’s quite clever for coming up with this simple gambit.
    He just goes ahead and prices himself out of the market. That way, he doesn’t THINK
    it looks like he’s scared. But anyone with half a brain can see through this ploy.
    A child of eight could have come up with something less transparent.

    He’s scared shit of this fight. There can be NO more questions about that.
    This confirms it as surely as if Fairweather were to come before the press,
    crying like a baby, and tell them he’s scared of the big bad Pacman (with VERY good
    reason, I might add).

    I am not generally a vindictive person. But I gotta tell ya — I hate this prick with
    a seething, visceral passion. He is single-handedly screwing up the game.
    I want to see him toothless and haggard, bumming around Vegas for
    soup money. Everyone in his family of origin is crazier than a shithouse rat. Why
    should anyone think HE escaped the nut-bag gene? I sure don’t.

    A pox on this punk.

    pb/

  14. Floyd is nothing more than a black bitch that doesn’t want the fight. He will beat the crap out of a woman for free though. Pussy!!!!!!

  15. Who Cares.

    Lots of young boxers in the game right now.

    If these promoters would get it right we could have mega matches over the next few years.

    Floyd is out, Manny will be soon, Sugar Shane, Marquez etc. etc.
    You were all great now goodbye.

    Say hello to James Kirkland, Andre Berto, Canelo Alvarez, Amir Khan, JuanMa Lopez, Gamboa, Abner Marez, etc. etc.

    Boxing is still looking pretty good for the future.
    I’ll still watch!

  16. If it’s true (I say if because this is according to Bob Arum) then Floyd should just say no and move on cause nobody is going to do that much money despite how great you think you are. Honestly i’m to the point where the fight happens it happens if not oh well. Pretty much tired of even hearing they’re names in the same sentence until or if they fight.
