    Floyd would probably get a 24/7 because he's a bigger draw than Pacquiao. I hate to say it but it's true. And yes, I think he would. He sells fights.

        Pac vs. Clottey
        Pac vs. JMM

        any of them...

        Mayweather vs. Mosley will outsell them all
        wanna bet?

        Pacquiao vs. Mosley would not beat any Mayweather ppv.

        but Mayweather vs. Mosley will beat all of Pac's ppv's
        I got 200K left, i wanna bet you on that, my 200k to your 300k. Deal?

          I dissagree. Pac doing huge numbers only makes the 50-50 split that much bigger for May and Pac. Floyd doesnt want Pac to do bad because that would mean Floyd loses money when they fight. Mosley-Floyd will wipe that out anyway so its a moot point.

          The more buys Pac does means the more money they can amke together. Thats common sense. Floyd is praying Pac did good.

            because you dont sit there and tell PAC that he sold 800K in ppvs, brought 50K people in the stadium with his name and tell him to take 50/50

            its not right but that's the kind of diva mindset you're dealing with

              But if Floyd - Mosley does 1.5 million, what can you say?

              A comeback to that 50k is that you held it in a stadium that simply accomodates more people.. regardless they still sell out Vegas...

              And again... you're talking about double the PPVs... not that Floyd deserves more, but certainly 50-50?

                  200k for 200k.
                  plain and simple.

                  Pacquiao suppose to be the face of boxing.
                  i should be the one making the odds.

                  I am betting the Mayweather fighting Mosley can beat Pacquiao fighting Oscar,Cotto, and Hatton on ppv.

                  I am the one taking the risk.

                    If floyd was set to fight clottey and pac was set to fight mosley, you don't think the 24/7 would have gone to pac/mosley?

                      Yeah but that's besides the point you were making... you were insisting that Manny deserves more than 50-50 against Floyd?
