They need each other: 50/50 is the way to go.
PPv numbers for the Mayweather vs Mosely garnered 1.4million. 2 americans in their homeland. While Pacman who is a foreigner who fought cotto who is just as popular as mosely got 1.250 million ppv.
Plus, considering Pac is the fighter of the decade, pound for pound king, and 7 division champ. Pac is definitely giving a lot on the table to make this a PPV success.
Pac's credentials and Mayweathers credentials are the reason this is suppose to break PPV all time record.

If Floyd has to be a greedy bastard the most he can ask is 55/45 no more no less. If it's 60/40 he is definitely ducking the fight again plain and simple.
He is over pricing himself if he asks more than a 55/45 split.
Common sense should dictate a 50/50 split, but just so it happens 55/45 is fine with me and most fans, more than that is just crazy talk, Boxing fans make this fight happen!
If Floyd will insist to a 60/40 boxing fans should expose Floyd as the ducker he really is!
So far this thread has shown that 50/50 is the way to go. Hopefully Floyd and his gang of thugs can see that and make this fight happen for the millions of boxing fans who want to see this fight.
In the real world if you leave your job for 2 years you cant come back requesting the same money as when you left.
Why does PBF expect to get a lifetimes wage in one nights work? If he wants a regular income he should work as a pro fighter, fighting regularly.
50/50 is fair. PBF has a lot to gain from this fight credibility wise. So dont deserve so much money.
Spot on bro.

Yup he can knock out pac easy.. But wait why is it taking to damn long to sign the contract to fight pac. He will earn tons of money. It's an easy fight for him why can't he just fight him for all the marbles when he knows he can beat him easy?
You see there's no logic there right. If I was a fighter and I know I can beat him easy. Ofcourse i will fight him for the large paycheck that I will be getting.
But for some reason your fighter is chickening out.. Why is that? Hmmm.. scared perhaps??
or this is his way of building up the fight..
if anything it should be 60 to pacquiao 40 to floyd cuz floyd takeing to long to sign the contract when other fighters be callin pacquiao out every day
floyd should get a bigger split cause he is a bigger ppv attraction.
I think this sport should place more emphasis on the boxing itself. At this level there is plenty of money to make them both a lot of money. Even if PBF is the bigger ppv draw, there is no question that this is the biggest fights out there for either of them. So the numbers they pull for this one will be bigger fighting one another than they would be elsewhere. You cannot compare previous ppv numbers against Josh Clottey, or even Shane Mosley, when planning this fight. They are both vital to the magnitude of this fight, they both bring an enormous amount to the table, this should be a 50-50 split. If I were either fighter, I would decline less than 50-50. In terms of boxing, the pundits are so split that this is a 50-50 fight across the board. So if one guy is willing to place making more money over making this fight happen, let him go fight bums for safe money like Haye, Khan etc. They both need to remember that sport needs to be entertainment to exist at anything like their level, and this is the fight that the fans want. That should count for something, too.
how the heck is that possible, Floyd is KTFO Manny.
Manny will have to go back to injecting steroids and making up these catch-weight joke of fights.

Pacquiao is a druggy
Floyd puts people in the seats. people come to see real boxing from a clean boxer.
60/40.....Floyd is being generous. should be 70/30 for Floyd.
Pacquiao needs Floyd.
oh yea really? Pac filled up his vegas fights floyd cannot. Pac filled up the cowboy stadium mayweather can't coz he can't fight there. He is using xyclocain. It's banned in texas, so no! Floyd can't fill-up seats like Pac can.
how the heck is that possible, Floyd is KTFO Manny.

Geez, your so blinded.. You can't even see even if arum proposed a fight nov or next year your so called great fighter Floydicain can't even agree on fighting pac.. Geez say what you want about pac, but we all know Floyd has the advantage in height, reach, and he is already the bigger guy.
So just do us a favor him after dick riding floyd just tell him to quit boxing coz your boy is destroying boxing.:Flush:
IMHO. Pac should give what Floyd wants , coz after this he could get 50,60,70 for fighting another fighter, while floyd will retire after that fight.

Its proven hat Floyd is the bigger draw. However, Pacquiao's talent is what makes this the biggest fight in boxing.
In other words it should be a 50/50 fight. Sign the contract Floyd. It's taking forever. :boxing:
They need each other: 50/50 is the way to go.

boxing fans has spoken.. More than 50/50 it quack quack all the way home for Floyd.
This poll is getting to be so lopsided. Obviously people are agreeing to a 50/50. Anything more is Floyd being to greedy. Better sign it Floyd.
if your defending a floyd duck then you would obviously agree that 60/40 is fair. If you guys are really debating this through records then lets see how much ppv floyd sold the last time he never had a 24/7 series before his fight like the way pac and clottey didn't. i bet it didn't sell over 700g. Nothing has really changed from the last negotiations so it should be 50/50.
Yup so true.. Last time I checked Floyd having no 24/7 promotion was a stinker lol
Whats all these excuses about Mayweather-Mosley selling because they were two american sportmen and Pacquiao is a foreigner? Pacquiao is more Known than Mosley to everyone in america and over the world.
Pacquiao has 2 different markets (Filipino american market and the boxing/american market), So all these excuses about him been a foreigner like it makes a difference is BS.
lol.. your in the wrong thread bro.. there's nothing written about that here?? Geez if you don't like how the poll is going gtfo hehe!
Seems alot of people are saying Floyd deserves more because ticket sales and ring accomplishments don't count. But what they fail to realize is the HBO puts big money into hyping Floyd and his fights because it's a business. I believe Manny puts people in seats because they know he is that good. Anyways Mayweather fights on his home soil while Pacquiao fights on the road, that is a factor in ticket sales too. But I voted it should be 50-50 because I feel Manny has earned it in the ring not from a HBO advertising advertising exec.
Yup it's all about fair game. 50/50 is the way to go. They both have even bargaining chips to offer in the negotiations table.
