    What if Pac accepts OST if only the split is 50-50?

    Would that be fair?

      no, he can demand any purse split he wants. it'd be an empty demand though.
      if it happens, it'll be 50/50. end of.

        Yes, they would be getting so much money I can't see how Mayweather would not accept that and if he doesn't shame on him.

          Mayweather has outsold Pacquiao with 3 common opponents, and if his fight with Mosley does better than 1.3 PPV buys, why would he accept a 50/50 split with Pacquiao?

          Also add in the #1 WW ranking to his resume if he beats Mosley, he has much more leverage and rightfully so.
          anything other than 50/50 is a non-starter.

            Ummm, because Manny is in a position to just say **** you if he doesn't play ball.

            Its not like Manny needs the money and he has a potential future in politics so he could just walk away if he doesn't like what he hears.

            Then what will Floyd do? fight someone at like and 80-20 deal and only make a fraction of what he would make in a 50-50 deal with Pac?

              doesn't matter what you think, what matters is what team pac thinks and they want 50/50.

                  When you say "His PPV sells thrives off of his opponents popularity." That's your OPINION. When doing a money split like this we go by numbers and numbers don't LIE.
                  According to Ring ...Manny is the #1 WW and #1 P4P!

                      based on what?

                      having less PPV sells than May?
                      Fighting Clottey who has lost all his big fight compared to Floyd beating Mosley who is the #1 WW?

                      why exactly does pac have the grounds to refuse anything other than 50/50
