Golden Boy Promotions offers 50/50 split for MAB-Pacquaio on HBO PPV March 17

[Gandalf]

Barrera can retire happy knowing Pac avoided him by pricing himself out

Pac is avoiding Barrera

Did you see the first fight? Let me guess, you're a big proponent of the training camp fire theory

I mean FFS Pac has improved since then, Barrera's done nothing but regress as he's gotten older.

Saying Pac is avoiding Barrera is absolutely ridiculous, I mean incomprehensibly ridiculous.

Actions speak louder than words . If Pacs so confident why cant he accept a fair 50-50 split . When Lewis chaallenged Rahman in their rematch he still got more money than the champ even though he lost the 1st fight cuz he is the bigger name . Barrera is a Mexican legend . He is the big name .

Who cares if Barrera is a Mexican legend outside of Mexicans? I hate it when people try to get too nationalstic, if you're Mexican, then be proud of Barrera, but just because you're a "Mexican warrior" doesn't mean that you can just command whatever you want. F*** that. In terms of popularity in boxing to mainstream fans it's 1.) ODLH by a landslide, 2.) Mayweather 3.) A four way tie between Wlad, Taylor, Winky, and Pac-Man. Morales is more popular than Barrera now due to his fights with Pac-Man. Haha, "Mexican warrior," Barrera is the same f***** who turned into a little pussy doing illegal S*** to Manny like punching off the break and headbutting in the first fight because he was thoroughly dominated. He got blasted into outerspace because he couldn't deal with Manny's handspeed. He'll get fucked up worse this time and then Barrera can go and retire. Barrera might be a Mexican legend, but let's face it, Pac-Man is the Mexican legend killer.

A rather condesecending attitude regarding MAB there really. If it is such an easy fight for Pac then let him take it. 50% is damn fine money. This fight will be huge, and Pac has the opportunity to have almost erased the old guard and set a new plateau above and beyond.

Why wouldnt he take 50:50?? Sounds churlish. If he is so confident of victory there are other fights after MAB that could follow! Barrera is a legend and champ and deserves his payday.

Pac could take 50/50 and throw Barrera in the garbage again. But Manny would be giving MAB a million dollars that MAB doesn't deserve. This is Manny's time right now. There are plenty of fights that can be made at 130 and 135 for Manny to continue his legacy. Guzman, Valero, Marquez, Casamayor, Juan Diaz, he could even conceivably move up to 140 and try to get a fight with Hatton, Mayweather, or Corrales if he wanted. There's plently for Manny to do. MAB has nothing to do but try and avenge his loss Manny in a rematch. That's it. Judging by PPV numbers, nobody wants to watch MAB fight anymore. His time in the sun has past, it's Manny's turn to soak up all the glory and get the lionshare, he deserves it.

Just like nobody was interested in the final Morales stand off. The demand is there and PPV copybox would reflect it. In terms of a lot of boxing fans Pac: JMM 2 is appealing, but Barrera: Pac is the bigger fight..
