50/50 split

Team Pacqiuao already is willing to do the 50/50 split. Not becuase PBF is the bigger draw, it's because they just want to get this fight over with. All this jockying about who is the bigger draw is all bull. PBF thinks he is the greatest. He says, Pac is on dimensional. PBF Sr say his son can beat pac easily. Then sign the fight already. If it is that ieasy and if you beat Pac, then your legacy is "god". All your future fights will be ringing in cash.

Come on already. Who cares about who is the biggest draw. do the 50/50 split. Or better yet, winner take all. I don't think Pac will blink an eye on those terms.

BOOM comes the dynamite!!! LMFA!!!!






When fraudulent jr. won vs marquez he couldnt get away from the Pacquiao questions, when Pac beat cotto he coudlnt get away from the fraudulent questions.

Espn, foxsports, sports radio from cali, the south in texas to new york were talking about pac vs cotto. Mainstream american shows such as pti, espn news were covering the fight. Local network news were covering pac vs cotto.

The new york times covered a the boxing fight, i dont remember the NYT covering a boxing event.



You obviously dont live in the U.S., so stick to the david haye is the next great british heavyweight thread or maybe you wanna visit this thread;

They were only interested in Pac vs Cotto because of the speculation of fighting Floyd.

Boxing is bigger in America I'm not dis*****g that, but internationally boxing is not talked about it seems and even more of a niche, that's why Kessler's fans are getting screwed to watch him fight.

Manny is not as well known as Floyd mainly due to his personality.

Roach isnt the one who decides the money split

But, he speaks for Pac right? So when Pac's team cames out and said 70-30 that is out-pricing himself out. But, when his team comes out 50-50 and at 147. Now is Roach doesn't decide the money split? That is a double standard... But, I don't care this fight is not happening anyways so is whatever.

what????

pac is well known in mexico, all of asia (asia is ****in huge and has way more people than the USA), he slaughtered hatton in 2 (where it took floyd 10)...

pac is an international superstar... floyd is a c-list celebrity on the west coast.

To be honest, Floyd is the bigger star.

but pac is the better fighter.

uh... no... floyd is a c-list celebrity

Oscar is the A side versus everyone period. Floyd was the A side versus Hatton. It was Mayweather -Hatton. Look at all the posters and 24/7.

all those uk fans came out to watch hatton fight floyd... not to what floyd fight hatton.

PAC is much more accomplished

I don't know if boxing fans look at fighters accomplishments like they do the economy-Listening to all the bull****. Floyd had his day. His latest accomplishments are fighting smaller guys bitching and moanin, demanding Mo Monay and hearing from the repo man. PAC has done more historically than any other fighter in recent history. If Floyd wants to fight, Roach has a great idea-10,000,000 each, the winner gets the diff. PAC will walk right through him. Of course Gay Boy Floyd needs a hell of alot more than10m. He is broke. Floyd, you your wack job dad and woman beater uncle have one more meaningful fight before you fight for paenuts again. Shut your big fat mouth, take the deal and let's see what you got. Your best days are over.

PBF is the bigger star just look at everytime Pac fights somebody PBF fought he does less numbers. If you add feelings and emotions into u can say pac deserves 50/50 but when it comes down to business and logic PBF gets the bigger cut just like it made since when PBF fought Oscar. I am fans of both PBF and Pac. But to be honest go to Boxrec.net and look at their records PBF has more notable wins than Pac it's no way to escape it. They are both great fighters. I would break it down like this Pac is more exciting and PBF is more skilled it's the difference between Ali and Tyson. They are both living legends people need to stop been so emotionally drawn in like these fighters are paying them or something to hate on another fighter just look at the facts.

Denial is not a river in Egypt. The whole Mayweather Team is shook.

I think Ellerbe has good points,he's right.PBF sells more,or at least in the past.
Maybe after the Cotto win,Manny might be the bigger draw.

But,it's not all about PPV,I mean,Manny is the champion,WBO and recognized #1 P4P.
And I think it allows Manny to ask 50 hands down.

Arum said 50 50 is fair,but Mayweathers team are so greedy,they are going to **** up the fight.

It ain't happening like I said,Richard the swiss banker said it himself,we would be morons if this fight doesn't happen.
But so are the PBF team.
Proven ****in morons.

Ellerbe is a lil dog.

[iron mike tyson]

if pac as come out and sed hel take 50/50 then he truelly knows hes worth 40

[Iceta]

even better...freeze floyd out and force him to fight dmitry salita or matthrew haton

That's on Pacquiao to make that happen even though Mosley would have to contribute to it.
