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

[S.G.]

Also, for Pacquiao's numbers against Cotto to be more impressive than Floyd's against Marquez to me it'll have to go over 1.6m. Cotto is a legitimate star in his own right with a huge fanbase behind him. No disrespect intended towards Marquez but that fight was essentially billed as "Mayweather v 'opponent': The Return of Floyd"

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.

MGM grand pays more than stadiums to host the fight.

Your right, 50/50, make the fucking fight happen.

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 bring more to the table? lol, he has about 3 fans.

Hell no man. How many fights have done 1.6 mill? Hatton is a bigger draw than Cotto by far, and niether could get over a million with him. Since then it seems both have become more popular. Remember to date Cottos highest PPV was 450K, carried probably by mexicans who were rooting for margarito. His second highest fight was 380K with Shane Mosley.

Mayweather - Hatton did well over 2 Million when you include UK PPV's.

No offense, but nobody includes UK PPV's. The PPV numbers that are tallied here, are the numbers brought in from the US and Canada on HBO.

Why wouldn't you count UK PPV's?
