Mayweather Turns His Nose on Pacquiao at a Whopping $50 Million

Looks like Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr needs some serious crash course on decision-making matters, a deficiency of which led him to think he’s the ultimately cool and fickle-minded guy everyone has ever seen. Michael Koncz, who is Pacquiao’s current adviser revealed in one interview that Money turned up his nose on a $50million purse guaranteed if he fights knuckles with the Filipino champ. And Koncz released hunches that Mayweather for that matter may have some other agenda as to why he wouldn’t bite on that sum of cash however big money it may seem.

"A country that I won't name offered us $100 million to bring the Mayweather fight there. So we, in turn, offered $50 million to Mayweather as a guarantee. If the pay-per-view comes in higher, Manny and Mayweather would make more. He refused the $50 million. It means he doesn't want to fight Manny at this point in his career. Very simple," Koncz explained.

If we assume that this report is correct, we might as well prove one thing: Mayweather may be smarty pants when it comes to downsizing the self-esteem of most boxers, especially Pacquiao, but he certainly is afraid of the People’s Champ. That fear is the perceivable sinking feeling you get when you threaten somebody to a fight, only to end up declining his offer just because you know in your heart that he may still defeat you, no matter what. talk about bullies since year 1.
Why would someone with a good arm and great skills when it comes to the boxing ring turn down a whooping $50 million against a welterweight champion? Perhaps he’s a bit penny-ante about it because on the other hand, losing against Pacquiao (which is not impossible) would cause him great humiliation.

Having Mayweather to turn down on such a big event would definitely mean something’s up? Fear? Pride? Maybe even comic relief for people who thinks Money just wouldn’t take it if he’s defeated  by the People’s Champ? You decide!
