    Before Hatton fight I was thinking 55/45 PBF, but sorry... since Saturday it has to be 50/50.

      PBF took the JMM fight as a business move for 2 reasons:

      1. If he beats JMM he could say that this should command him more money than PAC if they ever do fight.

      2. He doesn't look like a coward if Arum says "screw you" if you don't take less than PAC.
      I think floyd will price himself out. pac is too risky a fight and floyd will want major money.

      this will break down in negotiations

        Because who else did Oscar do those kind of numbers with?
        Not Trinidad
        Not Hopkins
        Not Mosley
        Not Vargas
        Not Pacquiao

        Okay then, who would do more ppv numbers here if your argument that Floyd was half the reason for the ppv numbers him and Oscar did?

        PBF vs Trinidad or Oscar vs Trinidad
        PBF vs Hopkins or Oscar vs Hopkins
        PBF vs Mosley or Oscar vs Mosley
        PBF vs Vargas or Oscar vs Vargas
        PBF vs PAC or Oscar vs PAC

        If you believe Floyd would do as well in ppv numbers as well as Oscar did with them, I might have to call you a hugger?

          Floyd vs. Manny in a perfect world should be 50/50 or 55/45 and winner takes lionshare.

          But the fact of the matter is, is that
          Manny took less money than Floyd when he fought de la hoya.

          Manny only got a 55/45 split when he fought hatton
          and Mayweather took a 70/30 split.

          So you know what mindset mayweather is going to have when they start
          talking about split.

          But i think mayweather will be reasonable but not ******.
          he will not take less...but he will not demand too much.

          this fight will be 55/45 imo... and it should be 55/45

            If Pac-Hatton fight almost did not happen with its on, off, on, off, on thing because of the split. Expect this one to be as frustrating.

              You think Manny needs Floyd? Floyd needs Manny. Manny is about legacy and Floyd is about Money. Manny will fight Cotto, Shane or JMM at the blink of a hat. Floyd will think about how much he will make compared to the risk and then decide. Right now, Floyd needs Manny and not vice versa.

              50/50 is fair, but knowing Floyd he's probably going to price himself out.

                My feelings exacty. The one thing Floyd isn't, is ******.

                As I've said before, the frustrating part about him, is that he can really beat anyone at anytime.

                The 1st JLC fight really did a number on him. His ego is too big too lose, and he was close to losing that fight. After avenging that loss, it was all about low risk/high reward for Floyd.

                  Floyd is not Oscar.
                  Oscar is Oscar.
                  and what Oscar is, is the greatest P.P.V seller of all time.

                  How about you compare Floyd to somebody else.
                  and see what you outcome will be..

                  Now.

                  Floyd is better than Trinidad,Hopkins,Mosley,Vargas, and Pacquaio
                  Numbers do not lie.

                  Pacquaio P.P.V History

                  Pacquaio vs. Morales 350,000 PPV
                  Pacquiao vs. Morales II 355,000 buys
                  PACQUIAO vs. BARRERA 350,000 PPV
                  Pacquaio vs. Marquez I 360,000 PPV
                  Pacquaio vs. Marquez II 400,000 buys

                  Floyd vs. Judah is bigger than all these fights..

                  Pacquaio vs. Morales 350,000 PPV
                  Pacquiao vs. Morales II- 355,000 buys
                  PACQUIAO vs. BARRERA 350,000 PPV
                  Pacquaio vs. Marquez I 360,000 PPV

                  and judah is a nobody with no fanbase like mexicans fighters like Morales,barrera, and Marquez have.

                  You figure it out.
