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

[risan taog]

what percentage did pedman give cotto?

[#1Assassin]

Nate would take 20%, but no one would be interested to see Floyd fight him. Nate beat Juan Diaz, that's about all he has going for him.

nate fought alot of tough guys thru his career though, undisputed LW champ not long ago so he has a fair share going for him. its a good fight, then again im a fan of campbell so that might be why id like to see it.

ofcourse mosley is better though, i think 40% is fair. floyd no doubt deserves the majority of the $$$, but with what mosley brings to the table and just all that he has done for the sport he deserves to get a proper payday. even HBO is treating this guy like trash even though hes a modern day legend and one of the very few true throwbacks in the sport today. hes given so much to boxing he should get some back.

wow 40%??? some guys here have no idea what they're talking about.

[Hitman932]

Maybe the reason people think Shane should get 40% is because he is the champion and Mayweather is the challenger?

I dunno? Just thining out loud here....

******s.

[street bully]

He is a bit of a draw, I think 35/40% is fair.

Agreed. 70-30 is a little low in my opinion.

How so....Mosley is not a PPV fighter....

[Ravishing]

I think hes a name. A popular boxer. But when you go the numnbers thy dont lie.

His last sucessful PPV was Cotto-Mosley 2 years ago and that was in MSG and a PRO Cotto crowd.

Carlos Baldomir wasn't a draw whatsoever, but he got a fight with Floyd...because Baldomir was the champ at the time (well...one of them). Mosley is currently the recognized WW champ, is the #1 WW in the world, has fought fighters at WW Floyd's never faced, and adding the rivalry both Mosley and Floyd have had for the last 10 years, I think HBO and GBP will do fine promoting this fight with both making good money.

Floyd will prob get 65 to Mosley's 35. I think that's fair.

[The Gambler1981]

Mosley should for sure get upside, hell Floyd got upside with Oscar and Clottey is getting upside with Manny.

Also keep in mind one of the arguments Floyd makes about people always getting their biggest paydays against him, if he is generous with Mosley he can continue on with that.

I personally think like 33-67 or 34-66 is fair that is getting twice as much, against someone like Mosley that looks good and the number should be pretty high for Shane but to kill the fight over 6 or 7 points whould be kind of dumb since what he would get against a lesser guy would be less then what he would make letting Shane have those percentage points.


Percentage points don't buy you Bentley's, yatchs and G-5's~

The funny thing is, why don't they think 40% is too high for a proven cheater???

not one of them. THE champ.

judah held the WBC, IBF, WBA and Ring Mag titles when baldomir beat him. baldomir couldnt afford the sanctioning fees so he vacated all but the WBC, but he was the only WW champ at that time none the less.
