Mayweather: "If Manny wants it, I'll pay Juan to step aside"

[The Fightfan]

I'll go the other way now and say Mayweather doesn't want to fight Marquez because he's afraid. I've had enough of this shit it's on, then it's off, it's on, now it could be off again. You FUCKING punk just fight Marquez quit bitching and maybe you can fight Manny next. This is a fucking joke this guy should be suspended for this shit. Fuck Mayweather.

Sorry, that had me LMAO, yes suspend him that will really teach him. I'm a big Floyd fan, but I can't stick up for him here, that was a dickhead thing to say, although reading the full context of what was said, it seemed more throwaway & more aimed at people saying he's ducking Pacquiao, rather than he wants that fight rather than Marquez as he goes on to praise JMM & say he thinks he's better. Here's 1 link, but there's many that basically show you the same thing

Floyd Mayweather Jr rules out fighting Manny Pacquiao for 50% of the purse | Sport | guardian.co.uk

Him vs Pacquiao WILL be a 50-50 split, I suspect what he might be doing is getting Arum to put up MORE of a guarantee for both fighters, partly because he hates Arum with a passion & of course because he wants his $$$

[Master]

It is just hype and negotiation ploy by Floyd.

[C-Lo]

Fights not selling so he now wants Pac LMAO!

I would piss my pants if Marquez just told him to stick it then Manny refused and Marquez Pac 3 was made.

That would be amazing! Everyone knows Pac vs JMM would be exciting and a great mix of styles. Plus, Mayweather would feel so stupid. Would not mind this fight happening one more time at all!

"Bob Arum, insists on a 50-50 purse split. Mayweather stressed that won't happen"

Does he honestly thinks he is entitled to a bigger purse or is he just pricing himself out like I thought he would?

Against any big name fighter he will try to get the upper hand when it comes to purse. Against Manny who has been boxing's biggest star since he Floyd left the sport, he will still demand the bigger half. I honestly doubt the fight will happen because Floyd's ego won't allow it.

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Floyds got such a big mouth.
A insult to Marquez he has the true heart of a real fighter and will not accept this.

[generalbulldog]

Sorry Juan you're not a draw, Pac-Floyd is, that's the fight the boxing fans, other sports fans, and general public wants to see. This is a business simple as that, although I wish Floyd hadn't jump in and signed the Marquez fight.

I would rather see Floyd give a beating to Pac than to Juan.

[JT Rock]

Nevermind

[Fenster]

To be fair, no one gives Marquez a chance so what's the point of the fight? If the Pac fight can be made then why not scrap it? Marquez wont mind a million for NOT get punched in the head.

Well Floyds words say it all about Marquez chance.

Exactly JMM fought Chris John in Indonesia for a bag of Hamburgers... 1 mil is surely worth a few months of someones time

Not to mention you dicks jumped on Floyd for fighting JMM instead of Pac, now your all defenders of Marquez... Holy shat your a bunch of nutters

[OumaFan]

LOL I don't know if people for the most part are defending JMM so much as just taking note (again) that whenever Floyd opens his mouth something stupid comes out of it.

And I suspect JMM would rather take the 3 or 4 million for fighting. I'm sure he's less dismissive of his chances than you two are.

[fan johnny]

Wow...! what a move on Mayweather's part .

It's now more than obvious Mayweather really thought he was the bigger PPV draw as well as the people working for him and he wasn't just say it. My guess is they realized that he will lose bargaining power by going though with Marquez and the fight has a low showing. Why else would he make such statements?

I see Arum having a secret meeting..... I smell it!

What I've read before about signed deals is that Marquez is guaranteed 35% of his purse whatever happens.

So why not go though with Marquez and make a deal after? Is it that he might lose to Marquez and not get the chance to face Pacquiao. Man.... Mayweather must really be hurting...?

The question I have is Who is Marquez going to fight if Mayweather aborts?

Not if they promise him another fight for a million or so.. a winnable one too like Pac (should he lose) after the Floyd fight.. or maybe GB can convince Hatton to get sparked out again

Maybe you're right though. If a champion travels abroad to fight for $30,000 he's probably not gonna give a shit about facing someone for $3-4 million.

[DaxxKahn]

That's like saying "I need a better dance partner".

No that like saying

"I am really, really, really broke, I was hoping my undisclosed injury would promt Marquez into siging another fight and I could get the payday I needed against Manny....SHIT!!!.....Do you think everyone knows I am broke?...Damn maybe I can sign with Golden Boy?"

Floyd wasn't boxings biggest star before the retirement why would he be now?

Any PPV numbers Floyd has produced worth while were due to his opponent

His numbers with DLH were because DLH was fighting for the P4P title and would have been just as high if Zab Judah was P4P king
