Arum scoffs at Floyd's 60/40 offer

[F-22 Raptor]

50/50 or trash the fight...either fight or stfu

i agree. i think since floyd is the one that wants to cement his legacy...he's gonna end up budging at probably 52-48 or 53-47.

[M.I Truth ?]

I will be completely surprised if the Pacman doesn't get the majority of the proceeds in this figtht. He is the "Star Attraction" not Mayweather. JAT

Anything actually factual to support your argument besides you just liking Pac more?

Paquiao vs Mayweather is going to be 55-45 or 60-40 all favor Paquiao

It should be that way but Mayweather will never accept that. His ego is way to big.

[F-22 Raptor]

60 for the winner and 40 for the looser, thats how they should sign the fight.

that would be a new way of doing fair bussiness, great idea man.

YES, its finished

The Hatton/Pac negotiations had similar problems and they worked it out just as Floyd/Pac will. I don't like all these negotiations going on through the media though since it only annoys the boxing fans! They should keep the negotiations private instead of trying to have the media influence either fighters team to take less money...

Pac's team trying to get Cotto to try and make 142 pounds is ridiculous when Pac can easily make 147, but Cotto would have to really dehydrate himself to get down to 142, that wouldn't be fair! If Pac wants to fight at WW he shouldn't be trying to make the WW's kill themselves making weight nearly a weight class below.

If a poll was conducted throughout the world for all viewing boxing fans, the Pacman would win by a landslide. Asia, UK, South America, Africa, Europe... Need I say more?

The problem is that Manny needs this fight way more than Floyd. Floyd is to Manny what Hagler was to Leonard, what Foreman was to Ali. I don't see Floyd taking less than 50% and very probably slightly more.

Its not decided by hypothetical polls. Its decided by who brings the most views and thus the most money. Pac is a star you are right. But I remember you saying something like he deserves like 65% of the pot. You can't deny that Floyd has done better numbers than Pac so that would be crazy. That being said Pac is p4p number one and has a buzz. Therefore 50/50 is the logical choice. Floyd may be a bigger draw but Pac bring Value and status to the table.

thats funny since in both of their comparative fights floyd has sold more..and it wasnt even close..explain

Larry, mate... I tried telling her, in another thread... either she never saw the message, or ignored it, or doesn't get the picture.

Exactly, she once said... that Pacquiao should get 75%...

That is completely irrelevant... you don't get it just from having a fan base alone, half the people wont vote Floyd cause they dislike him.

Mayweather vs Hatton did 900k+ buys.
Pacquiao vs Hatton did 800k+ buys.
Mayweather vs De La Hoya did 2.4 million buys.
Pacquiao vs De La Hoya did 1.25 million buys.
The numbers don't lie...

Judging by that alone, you'd give it to Mayweather, but there's more to it than that;

Manny beating De La Hoya and Hatton more convincingly, having a big fan base, the fact that he is P4P #1 (Pacquiao), and it is a fight they both will earn the most money with, biggest fight they want to see... equally the reason why the fight would be so appealing and he is very exciting to watch and has become a global superstar.

You could bare in mind that Mayweather is very popular, Wrestlemania, Dancing with the stars, AT&T adverts (whatever you wanna call it), the fact his name was used in every fight when he was retired... the amount his name was used whilst he was retired, how anticipated his return was and thread after thread being made about him... the fight should be 50/50, 60/40 is negotiations.

As you can see... they both even each other out and prove they bring the same amount of negotiation power to the table... they will both demand 60/40 to try to get as much as possible, 50/50 is the fair amount... you can't be biased.

Anyway, Floyd has to get through JMM first who cannot be overlooked, he is a great fighter in his own right... we should wait until after the fight to talk about Pacquiao vs Mayweather if he beats JMM convincingly.

Its not decided by hypothetical polls. Its decided by who brings the most views and thus the most money. Pac is a star you are right. But I remember you saying something like he deserves like 65% of the pot. You can't deny that Floyd has done better numbers than Pac so that would be crazy.

Thank you, you managed to sum it up in less words than me.

Listen Lady Fan, I got nothing against you... but come on we gotta be fair here, 50/50 would be the right choice.
