Floyd and Manny should just do 50-50 FFS

[ShatteredGlass]

Honestly, both of them are going to get millions, so stop squabbling over a few measly %.

I can see this being the longest negotiations in history at this rate.

I like the sound of this. Maybe that'd make Floyd come out of his shell and engage a bit.

even 45-45 winner gets +10 would be great....

I agree. With the money they're going to make, percentages hardly matter.

On the other hand, 20 percent of $25 million is five million dollars, so if someone wants 60%, they get a lot more money. (BTW, I just used 25 million for an example)

I don't think either has proven to be the bigger draw. They both have pulled good numbers, and Pacquiao is the hot one right now, so just call it 50-50.

Floyd outsold Manny against common opponents.

NOBODY expected the JMM fight to do 1 million ppv buys...NOBODY.

Anobody that predicted 1 million buys would have been laughed off the planet and called the biggest nutthugger in history.

One thing we know for sure.

Manny doesn't have the clout to make Floyd boil down...he'll have to take a full dose.

I agree with this, even though arguing about 1-5% seems petty and childish, when you're getting into the millions they're making, it's lots of money and I would probably agrue about it as well.

And I definitely agree about the bolded, it would save a lot of time and effort if they just agreed on that, but we'll see what happens. I'm not too bothered either way what the split is, just want to see the fight happen.
