A 50/50 with Pacman, is more money than 60/40 with anyone else.

[Grand Champ]

50/50 bring it on.

[Grand Champ]

It's a matter of principal. Mayweather brings more to the table financially and as such his purse should reflect that. The fairest split would be around 55-45, 53-47 minimum, to Mayweather. I don't believe there's that a big difference between him and Manny anymore but there is still a difference.

How would you feel if another guy was getting paid more or the same as you when your contribution was more valuable than his?

How does Mayweather contribute with more?

Pacman: P4P1, brings a country with him, got a huge fanbase in the US

I gaurantee you the fight will sell out in 12 minutes, it will be impossible to get tickets unless its at Yankee stadium or something.

I say wait till Pacquiao vs Cotto numbers are released. Up to date Cottos highest PPV was 450K with margarito followed by 380K with mosley. If this does over 1.2 million than we know Pacquaio will demand 60/40.

so sorry.......

All of us boxing fans know that negotiations for this kind of fight is going to be harder than the fight itself. It could take days, weeks or months, with papers going back and forth, revisions every minute....things like that...But, for the sake of boxing, I hope that they both would bend a little to give us fans what we clamor for and for themselves to prove who is really the best.

P4P1 - meaningless

Pacquiao's support in the Philippines - doesn't hold any significance to the parties who're actually paying out the purse

his huge fanbase in the US - is great but he still can't generate the same revenue Mayweather does


Boxing is a business and while all this "Pacquiao deserves the bigger slice because he's P4P#1!!", "Pacquiao deserves the bigger slice because he beat Cotto!!" stuff is all well and good it holds no bearing on reality.

I hope so too... but after watching the Floyd interview yesterday... he doesn't care about fans.

This has to be a stadium fight. No way should it be allowd to be in the tiny MGM Grand or anything silly like that.

Floyd Marquez - 1 Million Buys

If Cottos HIGHEST PPV was 400k... and Pac-Cotto does 1.4Million... then how is it different?
