    There is one thing everyone here has in common and its greed, and this is the biggest money fight in boxing, ever. It will be done, even if its a 50/50 split I'm sure each guy will come out of there with their biggest payday ever most likely topping 25 million a piece.

        send the part where ross greenburg says he will go on record to say the purse should be split in half to Horus. See what horus has to say about that

          I would purposely take the fight to Showtime PPV if I was Floyd or Manny just to piss Greenburg off!!

                Ross Greenburg should not let Boxing After Dark Die. The sport needs it.

                  I always thought the biggest hurdle was going to be the money split?

                    I dont think it is because the split will be decided on previous generated revenue , they are not just throwing numbers to ask for , they dont just blindly state Im worth X amount they got to justify it inside the negotiation with hard evidence ,,, both fighters want it that is the best news you could hope for because its very easy to derail if one doesnt want the fight ,,,, its a good thing Manny and Cotto did great numbers so that will even the spit up , if that fight had bombed Floyd would have too much leverage but now it will be more of a level playing field .

                      It will happen

                      Both camps are going in demanding 60/40 because that is how you start negotiations and if they don't , they look weak

                      they willl settle on 50/50

                      Man 24/7 for this fight will be epic !
