WelshDevilRob Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Koncz: ‘Mayweather turned down $50m to fight Pacquiao’ Manny Pacquiao’s advisor Michael Koncz has revealed that Floyd Mayweather turned down $50m to fight the Pac Man. The news comes only weeks after Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum confirmed that discreet talks with the Mayweather camp, through fellow promoter Don King, fell through when Mayweather demanded a $100m purse. Now in a chat with ABS-CBNnews.com, Koncz announced that the flamboyant boxer turned down the biggest payday of his career with a $50m proposal on the table. ‘A country that I won't name offered us $100m to bring the Mayweather fight there, so we, in turn, offered $50m to Mayweather as a guarantee,’ said Koncz. ‘If the pay-per-view comes in higher, Manny and Mayweather would make more. He refused the $50m… It means he doesn't want to fight Manny at this point in his career. Very simple.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Could we have a moratorium on stories about Mayweather v Pacquiao unless it's discussing the recent signing of the contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siren1927 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The fact is the only news we ever hear about the so called discuss come from Arum. He does have some history in the art of bullshit does our uncle Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edsel77x Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The guy doesn't want to lose to Pacman. I mean how obvious is that. Yeah, he can box and he's gifted but he's scared. I know it may get tiresome to most of you but, it's news and proof Mayweather wants none of the Manny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.blonde Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 well,even money may turns down a $100m offer to fight pacquaio, its no new story.. everybody in the boxing world,except the mayweather lovers, knows that the floydster got his panties filled with stinky brown stuff when it comes to fight pacquaio...sure both sides know how to trashtalk and defame each other,its a story going on for years now,but the thing is that wayweather simply doesnt want to fight pacquiao and as long its just some new old trashtalk,and no real achievment to get to the point and making the fight happen,it doesnt get my interest.. both camp can say what they want,the only chance to get things clear is making the fight happen... germany// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saigon Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 This story is back and forth, I dont even listen to negotiation talks anymore. I'll sit back and wait till one day I see it advertised. Mayweather turns down 50 then he wants 100, then pacquaio turns down 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
