Did Mayweather Approach Manny?

[Fenster]

Sure 50/50 is agreed but if not for all the fuss and demanding he got more the would have tried to give Pacquiao the short end....

It is just all part of bargining....You want 50/50 you ask for 60/40 this way you have something to barter with...some give to appear that you were willing to come to terms....It is a business side...

Hopkins hurt himself a lot early in his career because he did not know how to use such tactics...He wanted X amount of dollars and would not budge so he lost big paydays and some people just refused to even deal with him

Yeah, but the final offer was 52-48 for Pac and he didnt take it. Imagine your Hatton the Light Welterweight champion with hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, would you take anything less? And Manny not making big money at the lower weights is not Hattons concern or his problem.

No never said it was Hattons problem...each fighter wants the most they can get....

And again the not taking the 52-48 and ending on a 50/50 makes Pacquiao seem like he and his people are agreeable to work with....The 50/50 is almost guarenteed thats what they wanted from day 1....

In the futture more promoters etc will be willing to haggle becaus ehe seems to be a guy who will bargin

That is why I mentioned Hopkins..he just would insist on one price and that is it...cost him millions

I don't get what you're saying here daxx? It was Pac that wanted the larger cut.

He refused a 50/50 split. Apparently that's why the fights not happening. His own promoter Bob Arum called the decision "bizarre."
