    Default Did Manny Pacquiao Really Lose $100 Million by Not Fighting Floyd Mayweather?

    Did Manny Pacquiao Really Lose $100 Million by Not Fighting Floyd Mayweather?

    1 hour ago by Paul Magno



    COMMENTARY | As the numbers for the Floyd Mayweather-Saul Alvarez pay-per-view bout at the MGM Grand began to filter in, the sporting industry as a whole was buzzing about the single night, four-bout event that could wind up bringing in more than $200 million. Indeed, no matter what the final money tally says, the Septem
    ber 14 card will be regarded as the richest prizefight in the history of sports. The staggering numbers generated bring one to imagine how big things could've been had Manny Pacquiao been the other name on the marquee instead of "Canelo" Alvarez. After all, Pacquiao may still be the world's most popular fighter, even despite recent losses and setbacks. And he was certainly the biggest of international superstars back in 2009, when the idea of a mega-bout with Floyd Mayweather nearly became a reality.
    Following sensational victories over Oscar De la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Miguel Cotto, Pacquiao's star was burning brighter than ever as his team entered into negotiations with the undefeated Floyd Mayweather, who had just come back from a two-year vacation to completely whitewash Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight thought to be a tune-up for a Pacquiao contest in 2010.
    Of course, fight fans everywhere know what happened next-although they may have varying versions of the story behind the story. Unable to reach an agreement on Mayweather's demand for random blood testing, the bout fell apart. One final push for arbitration failed over an inability to agree on cut-off dates. Contrary to rumors and half-truths generated since then, this was the only time actual negotiations between both parties ever took place.
    A recent article by Mike Ozanian of Forbes.com puts the dead Mayweather-Pacquiao fight into dollars and cents perspective by estimating that Pacquiao cost himself about $100 million for not budging on his refusal to submit himself to true random blood testing.

    Mr. Ozanian gets some key concepts confused-- like the fact that Pacquiao, as a client of Top Rank Promotions, would never get a true 50-50 split of all revenue like the self-promoted Mayweather-- but his overall concept is sound. Pacquiao missed out on the biggest payday of his career by refusing to come to terms on testing when he had the chance to do so.
    However, this isn't just about one payday, as big as it may have been. Maybe this entire Mayweather-Pacquiao fiasco has been one long, three-year game of bait and switch.
    It has long been my belief that Team Pacquiao used Mayweather's name and the possibility of a Mayweather mega-bout to increase Manny's value and, thereby, inflate earnings for relatively low-risk bouts against Joshua Clottey, Antonio Margarito, and Shane Mosley as well as the higher-risk outings against Juan Manuel Marquez.
    The whole Mayweather vs. Pacquiao dynamic also created a situation where Pacquiao got to play the lovable hero and become a magnet for merchandising and sponsorship opportunities. The smiling, affable Pacman became the antithesis of the money-loving Mayweather and he definitely reaped the financial benefits of being almost universally beloved.
    Taking all things into consideration, it could be said that Mayweather was worth more to Pacquiao as a forever unattainable alleged target than as a direct opponent, who could've produced a career-stalling loss for the Filipino superstar. As long as fans were given the impression that Manny was chasing Floyd, they'd keep supporting him, keep buying his shows, and keep his brand alive as a marketable asset.
    So, while Pacquiao did miss out on a windfall twice as big as his current biggest payday, he more than made up for that lost purse by being a media darling and marketable family-friendly good guy.
    Believe it or not, this fight may still come together, but only because Pacquiao is set to become a promotional free agent at the end of 2014 and because Mayweather is quickly running out of bankable opponents.
    When/if this happens, expect shattered revenue records all around and a hype machine greater than anything boxing has ever seen before. But don't think for a second that it was an accident it took so long to make.

    Trainer Freddie Roach insistent Manny Pacquiao could beat Floyd Mayweather

    By Kevin Iole 7 hours ago








    Manny Pacquiao weighed 145 for his fight with Brandon Rios (Chris Farina/Top Rank)

    Count me as a skeptic: I still don't believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao wil ever meet.
    But there are still those who do, and Top Rank's Bob Arum said it is not out of the question for September 2014.
    But the question is, if the fight happens, could Pacquiao be competitive with Mayweather? At one stage three or four years ago, they were the unquestioned No. 1 and unquestioned No. 2 fighters in the world, in whichever order you wished to rank them. I have long believed Mayweather to be the best fighter in the world, and haven't wavered from that belief, but I would still rather see it decided in the ring.

    Pacquiao has to beat Brandon Rios on Saturday (Sunday in Macau) in order for there to be even the slightest glimmer of hope for the bout to happen. But if it were to be signed, Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach believes the Pacman could pull it off.
    Rios trainer Robert Garcia has flip-flopped on the issue.
    "Three or four years ago, when Manny was knocking all those people out and looking like a monster, I think he would have beaten Mayweather," Garcia said. "But not now, though. I think Mayweather would beat him now."
    Roach, not surprisingly, feels differently. He's under no illusions and knows it would be a hard fight, but said he thinks Pacquiao would win.
    "Mayweather is I think slipping a little bit, with his age and so forth," Roach said. "He can't move like he used to. He doesn't use his legs like he used to. He doesn't have the movement. He's not as fluid. He stays on the ropes a lot more. He exchanges a lot more. I think that would benefit Manny Pacquiao in a fight.
    "Obviously, Mayweather is very good at what he does. I'm not saying that would be an easy fight. We'd have to come up with a great game plan. We'd have to really stick to it to win that fight. He has some flaws. Nobody is perfect out there. If we could draw those flaws out and take advantage of them, we'd be in a good spot. I still pick Manny to win that fight."
    Roach is expecting a big Pacquiao win on Saturday at CotaiArena for one simple reason: He knows Pacquiao knows he desperately needs it to remain regarded as one of the world's elite boxers.
    "Everybody here would like to see that happen sooner rather than later, but to get that fight, Manny knows he needs to be impressive in this fight," Roach said. "That's why I am so confident he will be impressive in this fight."

    Money Team Handler States Terms for Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao Bout

    By David King 12 hours ago





    COMMENTARY | Ever since Manny Pacquiao's domination of Brandon Rios on Nov. 23, Top Rank Promotion's CEO Bob Arum has tried to convince the boxing community that he's, once again, serious about getting the Filipino congressman inside the ring with Floyd Mayweather.

    Contributor Network





    Of course, it's hard for knowledgeable boxing fans to take Arum seriously given the fact he's been the biggest obstacle in the way of a way of a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao super-fight.
    Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer would probably agree with the assessment, and he set some clear terms for the still-demanded super-fight, making sure Pacquiao knows exactly what he needs to do if he's serious about ever sharing the same ring with Floyd.
    "He's using Mayweather's name to drum up publicity of Pacquiao,"Schaefer said in response to Arum's recent statements about organizing the super-fight. "When it is convenient for him, he uses Mayweather's name. Mayweather is pretty clear, as clear as it can be. He is not going to be dealing with Arum or Todd [duBoef] or anyone else over there. He doesn't need them. If you want Mayweather-Pacquiao, then okay. Make Pacquiao available and Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions will take care of everything. ... We are not looking to cut Arum out, this is not about not paying Bob. He can have his Top Rank logo on the banner, no problem. He can have a few seats, no problem. It's nothing to do with disrespecting, but if he thinks he's the driving force here - what [expletive] arrogance does the guy have? ... What does Arum think that he's the godfather of boxing? Who the hell does he think he is? People have to come and call him and kiss his ring or kiss his ass. That's not going to happen. It's [expletive] unheard of."

    Interesting comments from Schaefer considering the fact Arum recently told USA Today that there is no animosity between himself and Mayweather. Given the history of failed negotiations between the two camps, Schaefer is certainly being more honest about the situation.
    It's hard to see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao materializing as long as Arum is still in the picture.
    For the super-fight to ever happen, Schaefer also made it clear Pacquiao won't get anything close to a 50/50 revenue split.
    "We are using his blueprint. The same thing he said with [Nonito] Donaire, that Donaire was such a bigger star than [Abner] Mares," Schaefer added. "Okay, you know what; we will use your own blueprint. And there is no disputing, no question that Mayweather is the number one star in the sport. Mayweather is the highest paid athlete in the world. And with his TMT brand - he makes more money from the TMT brand than Pacquiao makes fighting. I've seen the numbers."

    Bob Arum: Mayweather vs Pacquiao possible for early 2015

    By Fraser Coffeen 15 hours ago




    Promoter Bob Arum is once again hyping up the long desired Mayweather vs. Pacquiao superfight, telling fans the fight may happen within the next year.
    For boxing fans, the Holy Grail of today's fight scene has long been one elusive fight: Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather and Pacquiao are the undeniable two biggest marquee names and greatest talents of this era, and the fact that they fight in the same general weight class means a fight between these two titans has long been discussed. Sadly though, it's never become a reality, and most boxing fans have come to accept that they will just have to deal with this as a golden opportunity forever lost to the ages.
    Now, Top Rank head and Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum is rekindling the flames of Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. On the press tour for the November 22 Manny Pacquiao vs Chris Algieri PPV fight, Arum told the San Francisco Chronicle that, in regards to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao:
    Both networks [HBO and Showtime] want this fight to happen. All signs seem to point to the fight happening early next year.
    Talk about this fight first began really heating up back in 2009, and since then there have been various points where "all signs seem to point to the fight happening", but for a variety of complex reasons, it never has. Were it to happen next year, it would be a massive fight - not as massive as it would have been prior to Pacquiao's loss to Juan Manuel Marquez and "loss" to Timothy Bradley - but still big.
    But if history is any indication, the chances of that actually happening are slim. Don't hold your breath on this one folks.
    Pacquiao next fights on November 22 against Chris Algieri, while Mayweather rematches Marcos Maidana on September 13. Stay tuned to Bloody Elbow for full coverage of both PPV encounters.

    Not holding my breath, Mayweather vs Maidana is a farce an easy payday for both on the sucker fight fans
    Maidana took this fight knowing he cant win also knowing he wont get hurt big dollars for him just another boring fight nite with this one but i will watch for free!
    I also have a bad feeling about pacman facing N.Y. think he bit off a little more than he can chew with this one.

    Default Mayweather Sr.: It's gonna happen

    Mayweather Sr.: It's gonna happen

    Although Floyd Mayweather Jr. has yet to announce his plans for 2015, his father has no doubt that a fight against Manny Pacquiao will happen.
    "It's gonna happen. That fight's gonna happen. Trust me," Floyd Mayweather Sr. told fighthype.com. "That fight's definitely gonna happen. It's a fight for the world, man, right there. It's the biggest fight that has ever been in life, so like I said, man, that fight's gonna happen."
    Mayweather Sr. said his son never told him that the fight was in his plans, but with his son saying that he will retire after finishing the two fights left on his six-fight Showtime deal, he believes all signs point to the megafight with Pacquiao.
    [+] EnlargeAl Bello/Getty ImagesFloyd Mayweather has repeatedly said that he plans to retire after his contract with Showtime, which has two fights remaining, comes to an end.


    "[I'll] tell you right now, he never told me the fight's gonna happen, but ... the fight's gonna happen," Mayweather Sr. told the website. "You mark my words, and we'll see."
    The 37-year-old Mayweather Jr., who is 47-0 with 26 knockouts and holds the welterweight and junior middleweight titles, has yet to divulge his future plans other than he expects to fight somebody in May.
    "I'm gonna go and talk to my team and see what the future holds," Mayweather said last month after his second victory over Marcos Maidana. "I don't know who I'm fighting in May, but I expect to fight in May. Manny Pacquiao needs to focus on the guy in front of him. Once he gets past him, he can look to the future. If the Pacquiao fight presents itself, let's make it happen."
    “That fight's definitely gonna happen. It's a fight for the world, man, right there. It's the biggest fight that has ever been in life.
    ”- Floyd Mayweather Sr., on prospect
    of his son fighting Manny Pacquiao
    The 35-year-old Pacquiao, who next defends his welterweight title on Nov. 22 against Chris Algieri in Macau, China, has said that a fight against Mayweather "could happen" in 2015. He even took a few jabs at Mayweather last month on Twitter, saying, "He acts like an uneducated person" and that "he should fear God."

    Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said recently that HBO and Showtime/CBS have been holding talks about working together on a joint pay-per-view.
    It remains to be seen whether a deal can be made -- it has gone unmade for years despite intense public demand -- but count former champion Sugar Ray Leonard among those who want to see it happen.
    "They should fight. ... That fight would be huge," Leonard told Fox 11 Los Angeles last month. "I think fans are starving for excitement. Fans are starving for competition, evenly matched fights. But it would be huge."
