Pac vs ODLH: Pac declines offer

[XaduBoxer]

PAC just showing that Hoya can't force his issue on everybody in boxing.

Hoya is the PPV king but offering 70-30 split is sort of a disrespect to PAC...

Yeah paying a fighter double the amount of his previous highest purse is really disrespectful. Come now. Bottom line is Pac talked a good game, but never really wanted the fight. If he did he would accept his career high purse and fight. But he knows it's going to be hard to enjoy his money if he's in ICU.

Giving double of PAC's highest purse is NOT the figure they're talking about. Team PAC is asking for a fair share of the purse split. Oscar taking 70% of the purse is just disrespectful of PAC's achievements. What does Oscar have at the moment? He even got NO belt. He just banking on his popularity but he can't impose his will on everybody as bravely shown by PAC's decision to turned down his ridiculous purse split offer.

With all due respect Saddo...you are missing the point. You make it seem like Oscar forces people to buy tickets to see him. Oscar, for better or worse, is the biggest star in boxing. People don't care if he has a belt...they buy into his star power. Are you telling me any other fighter in his position, Pac included, wouldn't "impose his will" on business decisions?! Almost 99.9% of boxers who would be fortunate enough to be in Oscar's position would behave the same way. Boxing is as much a business as it is a sport. So until people stop wanting to pay to see Oscar fight...there really is no need to get on his case for banking on his image and demanding the lions share of fights. This fight would, even with the "disrespectful" split of 70/30, be by FAR the most lucrative and publicized fight of Pac's career. I have no interest in the fight and as i said before both fighters could look for much better fights/opponents. But this clearly is an "event" and publicity fight. And since Oscar would be the main public persona and draw for both the fight itself and the buildup for it...he could demand pretty much anything he wants. If Pac, Roach, and Arum want to be part of this ridiculous fight...they need to shut up and except the deal...because it certainly isn't Oscar who needs the money or publicity (though he certainly craves more of both). Otherwise, Pac should focus on the better fights at 130/135.

Yep, considering the fact that pac has the belt in 135 and also #1 p4p.
