Who should get the bigger purse for Mayweather/Pacquiao?

[Chups]

Slight edge to Mayweather (55-45) .....5% fee just to come out of retirement.

[gunners]

50/50 - lets get this fight on

[Sin City]

Yet he still drew a very large audience against Hatton (who is not a huge PPV draw in the US). That audience saw a great knockout and people usually remember the last thing you did.

That was AFTER fighting De La Hoya.. I guarantee you Pacquiao will be drawing large audiences from now on.. Especially after what he did to Oscar.

Like you said.. People remember the last thing you did.

Floyd.

They dont call him Money for nothing.

55-45 its fair enough.....!

I think Hatton-Pacman will make money but I dont think it will approach 875k (or whatever the number was to Mayweather_Hatton). The economy is worse and Hatton lost some shine, but he is probably more well known now in the US then before the Mayweather fight. I still stand by that it should be 50/50 with the winner prehaps getting a 10% bonus.

Also that ****ty undercard and the lack of excitement in the main event could have turned people off to the sport, just as people said about Mayweather-Oscar. Some will come back to see Manny though, just like some people that watched Floyd-Oscar bought his next bout, who knows what that % will be if he gets 1/3 like Floyd 400-500k would be a huge success against Hatton.

out of curiosity and laziness, how many buys did the baldomir and judah fight have?

I know for a fact that it wasnt more but you have to take certain things into consideration which are mayweather fighting a nobody in terms of PPV does 325,000 buys yet Pacquaio does a LITTLE MORE against a WELL KNOWN NAME/ LEGENDS.

Mayweather's last 4 PPV Buys:

Mayweather-DLH: 2,400,000 Buys
Mayweather-Hatton: 850,000 Buys
Mayweather-Judah: 375,000 Buys
Mayweather-Baldomir: 325,000 Buys

Pacquiao's last 4 PPV Buys:

Pacquiao-DLH: 1,250,000 Buys
Pacquiao-Diaz: 225,000 Buys
Pacquao-Marquez: 400,000 Buys
Pacquiao-Barrera: 350,000 Buys

Comparisons:

Mayweather-Judah did more than Pacquiao-Barrera, Mayweather-DLH did more than Pacquiao-DLH, Mayweather against a nobody did 325,000 and Pacquiao against a nobody did 225,000 buys, Mayweather-Hatton did twice more than Pacquiao-Marquez. I would also bet with you Pacquiao-Hatton does less than what Mayweather-Hatton did, the pattern will continue.

Notice when Pacquiao fought the NAMES, the LEGENDS, he still did close to what Mayweather against Baldomir, with the exception of the DLH fight which still did less than half of what Mayweather-DLH did.

50-50 would be fair to me but you are pretty much sending Manny in to get slaughtered so he might as well get some good pay for it.

If Floyd was active I would agree and I still favor Floyd over Pacman, but he will have 2 years of ring rust by that time (if he takes no tune up). I am sure Manny can use an extra 20 million before his next political campaign in 2010 though.

Lets say Pac/DLH did 2,000,000 + ppv buys and if he fights Hatton and that fight gets 800,000 + ppv buys, what do you guys think the purse share should be for Pac/Mayweather? Who gets the most and why?

Pac vs Hatton will get more than 800,000 buys. Hatton vs Floyd did 1.4 million buys in Britain alone. I'm sure those fans were'nt paying to watch Floyd run around. Pacquiao would have unbelievable PPV #'s in the Phillipines if the majority of the people there had access to PPV. Now they're pretty big stars in the US and Canada.
