**** that!! that's an insult to him, when the guy averaged a million buys in his last 4 fights and selling out arenas/stadium drawing mass crowds. Furthermore, Did people forget that pac got a very respectable split of 37% against Oscar De la Hoya?? you know how much there disparity was in PPV buys during that time?? Oscar just came off cashing in 2.4 mill buys with floyd and pac was averaging 400k buys. Why do you think pac got 37% of the split?? because Oscar needed Pac to make the most money out of anyone active that time and Pac was on a rampage. Pac deserved it so to speak.
Now Fast forward now pac having 3 more big wins, giving him more world wide recognition, and still putting on exciting performances and you expect him to take a lesser split to Floyd mayweather Jr.?? LOL again that's an insult to pac's status in the game. Nobody should get a higher cut because BOTH NEED EACH OTHER TO MAKE THE BIGGEST FIGHT EVER!! Just because floyd edges him slightly of what 200k buys floyd should get the higher split? Hell no!!!
All you guys caring about what the split should be are retarded. I swear some of you guys who argue about what fighter deserve the bigger split have to be females.
I don't see how a grown ass man should be worrying and debating about this shit. I don't care what the split is as long as it get the fight done.
Who gives a shit!? Just make the damn fight!!
:boxing:totally agree, i don't care how they negotiate and agree on terms as long as the fight gets made:boxing:
thats the MAIN and most IMPORTANT fact!!!!
I agree my dude.....these mofos got me on a "REFUSING TO SAY THEIR NAME" strike until they make it happen!!
I agree with Huey too, its just annoying that people jump to conclusions so much without any evidence and just insider information, no quotes no nothing.

It was one report with insider information saying that Floyd requested 60/40, no quotes what so ever, I am not saying it aint true, just don't jump to conclusions. Even if he did ask for 60/40 it makes sense, thats what negotiations are for, going in asking for mroe than you'll get so you can get as much as you can.
There is way too much shit going around about this than needed, no quotes what so ever, just insider sources. The negotiations are being kept silent, thats a good thing... trying to put it into the media just makes things a lot worst.

So if Pac takes less than 50%, that is a message about Pac's status.
We're not counting the Clotty fight in that right??? that was truley a boring fight... That may be because of Clotty But Pac cauld have got a diffrent opponent though...
I agree they both need each other to make this fight. I ain't mad that Pac wants 50/50.
the thing is he had the deal he is agreeing to now back in 09'... why did he run from the deal then...
Agreed, if Pacquiao had agreed to the fight when he could have, with the same 14 day cutoff, it would have been 50/50. They both are the biggest names in the sport, but Mayweather is in a better position for this negotiation.
I just hope they compromise and make this fight happen.

slightly cotto. But Mosley has been fighting on PPV and HBO for how many years now and has always been a very good B player. He's around the block and been in BIG fights and is well recognized in the boxing game. come on now burner.
you gotta be kidding me, now mosley has a "fanbase"?
You guys will literally say anything.
How many PPVs did mosley headline?
How many venues did mosley sell out with him fighting someone who WASNT mexican or puerto rican?
lol
Because it was there last 2 fights. But...
I'll play ball. Lets use Pac-Cotto which did 1.2.
Then look at Floyd-Mosley which did 1.4.
Whos the bigger draw Cotto or Shane?

Is your signature leading us to believe that when Pacquiao hits Mayweather, he is going to turn into Ricky Hatton?
Again why compare the pac-clottey fight with the mayweather-mosley fight?? come on. pac-cotto and mayweather-mosley should be the fight u'r looking at because it was equal in terms of the magnitude.

He just literally doubled Pacs last PPV. Lets use common sense here. Even Roach said 55-45 in Floyds favor could happen.

I think Floyd "edges" him by more than 200k buys.
Pac-cotto and mayweather-mosley is one i'm looking at being it was both mega fights with godd promotion. The clottey fight did very well if you ask me considering how little promotion it got and clottey's 5 fans.
