Why do people think SSM deservs 40% when he is not a PPV draw?

[The Gambler1981]

He is a good B-side, while not being a big draw in his own right people do know him and matched with someone like Mayweather he helps bring people in because people will like the match-up because they know both guys.


Keep in mind that a lot of people this fight would intrigue are not overly knowledgable about boxing.

Let's see....this fight is the 2nd best matchup that the public wants to see....being the "man" to beat at WW....and all the drama between these two for the past 10 years?

Mosley vs. Mayweather....i'm sorry...Mayweather vs. Mosley is an easy 1.75 mil PPV buys...just on the strength that Mosley has a good chance to beat Floyd....

40% is decent....but I would love for Mosley to get 45% + splits from PPV buys.

Naw. I can guarantee this. If Shane asks for 40% The fight wont happen.

When was his last sucessful PPV? When he was the one people came to see?

It doesn't matter... Shane has a legit chance of winning the fight. Shane brings credibility to the fight as a legit mega fight. He deserves his share from that.

Ok look at it this way, Who is Mayweather going to fight next that would make people sit up and take notice??? If Mosley gets $6-8 million for a Mayweather fight then he deserves it.

Because Floyd needs Shane as a dance partner right now, more than ever, else Floyd's got nowhere else to go !

Unless you consider M.Hatton, Paulie and Saul Alvarez as legit destinations.

Nate Campbell would gladly take 35%

[The Gambler1981]

You do need 2 people to make a huge fight, Mosley is one of the biggest names he deserves a fair cut somewhere from 30-40%.

[Shadow boxer 3]

40% is fair.

Nate would take 5% and it would still be far beyond his biggest payday~. It would be similar to making a deal with Clottey~
