smoesjes van pacquiao

Ronaldo is ook een ongelovelijk goede voetballer maar het blijft een kwal.

Same met mayweather....alleen is mayweather wel een grotere eikel door het vrouwen slaan syndroom, imo.
Het is toch niet zo moeilijk te begrijpen dat er mensen zijn die daar niks van willen weten?

maargoed, nu wilt ie niet meer rematchen....

Nee, het zal altijd moelijk zijn te begrijpen dat er 'mannen' als jij zijn die boven alles white knights zijn.

...is dat eigenlijk niet racistisch, white knights? (Waar is Illest als je 'm nodig hebt). Waarom kunnen black knights geen goed doen? Of slaan die er juist op los... Vragen....

Een vrij cynisch, maar scherp artikel in de guardian over deze partij. Wel vrij lang, maar ik denk dat het aardig de vinger op de zere plek(ken) legt.

Als je ziet dat ze met z'n allen lopen te verrekken in Nepal en dat ondertussen in Las Vegas twee mensen zulke absurde bedragen verdelen, denk ik dat er een kern van waarheid inzit.

Helemaal mee eens Facade. Goed stuk. confronterend.

It’s looking like the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight last Saturday will not only break the all-time pay-per-view number of 2.4 million but it will also likely shatter it by a considerable margin.

Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports is estimating the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will bring in from 5.6 million to 6.43 million pay-per-view buys. At the same time that number, plus additional revenue streams bringing money in for the fight, will shoot Mayweather’s paycheck to $250 million to $275 million. That’s quarter of a billion dollars for Mayweather. Pacquiao could make $170M to $190M.

That’s a big jump from the $100M to $120M that was originally estimated for Pacquiao. With a payday of $190 million, Pacquiao, his promoter Bob Arum and trainer Freddie Roach really don’t need to harp about a rematch.

There’s enough money for them to live well on with their cut of the revenue for this fight. After looking at how poor Pacquiao looked last Saturday, they must not think that he’d have any kind of a chance of beating Mayweather in a rematch. That’s not going to happen, and I don’t think many boxing fans believe it either.

The final PPV results still are being tabulated so they could come in less or perhaps more than Iole’s estimation, but you can count on the results to break the Mayweather vs. Oscar De La Hoya PPV record of 2.4 million set in 2007.

According to Yahoo, DirectTV brought in 1.15 million buys, Dish Network 500K, AT&T’s uVerse and Verizon’s Fios brought in 600K. The tally for them is 2.25 million, and this is before the cable PPV buys have even been counted. Most of the PPV buys will come from cable. This means that we’re likely to see more than double the amount that we saw with the satellite networks.

With that kind of huge cash for both fighters, you couldn’t blame them if they chose to face each other again just so that they can make that kind of money a second time. The chances of the rematch making similar money as the first Mayweather-Pacquiao fight are slim.

A lot of boxing fans were likely turned off by what they saw from the fight last Saturday and won’t want to lose big money a second fight for something that isn’t guaranteed to be anymore crowd-pleasing than the last fight. Pacquiao hurt things for the rematch by disclosing that he came into the fight with a shoulder problem. Even if Pacquiao and his team say that he doesn’t have any injuries the next time they fight, I think a lot of fans won’t believe him.

^haha sjonge hoe kun daarna nog dezelfde motivatie hebben om weer de ring in te stappen.

[Nosferatu187]

hun hoeven allebei hierna niet meer te werken als ze niet willen mayweather helemaal die zal nu wel 700 miljoen waard zijn.

[mario the count]

Astronomisch hoge bedragen, echt bizar.

Zo groot is het boksen. Sweet science. Er zijn altijd dit soort mega boksgevechten geweest waarvoor de hele wereld stilstaat. Alleen ik geef toe dat deze cijfers waarschijnlijk nooit meer verbroken zullen worden door een gevechtsport. Nooit meer. Pacquiao en Mayweather zullen lang na hun dood herinnert worden net als de Ali's, Robinson's en Louis'.

Vannacht vecht onze blonde mexicaan die lijkt op een ier, ik had hem graag tegen cotto gezien.
Welterweight/ lightweight heeft wel aardige vechters dan heb je ook nog de middleweight met ward froch golovkin alleen vechten ze weinig.

Despite problems with the major cable companies on the night of the “Fight of the Century,” the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao fight has reportedly brought in more than 4.4 million pay-per-view buys in the United States.

Additionally, the revenue for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight is over $400M with it likely to come in over $500 million when the tally is complete. The total has dwarfed the $150 million that the Mayweather vs. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fight brought in back in 2013.
That fight generated 2.2 million PPV buys. The 4.4 million buys breaks the record of 2.4 million that Mayweather set in his fight against Oscar De La Hoya in 2007.

The fight was televised on PPV by HBO and Showtime in the U.S. The gate was at $71 million for the fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“With all the aggravation and trouble, look at the pot of gold that we both produced,” Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum said to ESPN.com about the money that they brought in with the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. “I think there will probably be less aggravation in a rematch. We understand each other better now. There’s a real possibility it could work even better.”

Getting the two sides to work together for a second fight could prove to be difficult now given the injury excuse that Pacquiao came up with after the fight. Pacquiao also seemed in denial about his defeat, saying repeatedly that he felt that he won the fight. That stance from Pacquiao might need to change if there’s any chance of the two fighters facing each other again. It doesn’t work if Pacquiao uses his two-headed stance of staying he won the fight and then blaming his defeat on his shoulder injury, which he failed to inform the Nevada State Athletic Commission about until right before the fight.

The big money that they charged the fans to see the fight on PPV and live at the MGM Grand may need to change in a rematch. I don’t think boxing fans are going to go for the idea of paying $100 a second time to see a fight that will likely play out as another mismatch.

The fans might be receptive to paying that kind of green if the Filipino fighter were to win two or three fights in between the second Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, but that obviously can’t happen given that Mayweather is about to retire.

For that reason they may have to drop the price down to $60 for PPV and sell the tickets at reasonable prices in order to sell the fight a second time. You can’t gauge the fans with high prices a second time if the product the first time around was a poor one. Mayweather did his part to give fans a great fight, but unfortunately Pacquiao came up well short. The customers didn’t get a good product and now it’s up to the fighters to drop the price for a rematch so that the customers will come back.

Jezus, het gaat alleen nog maar om geld en belangen ipv. 2 vechters die levende legendes zijn (geweest).
