I heard recently about a comment made my freddie roach if ever may and pac will clash. is this a rare thing in boxing? was there a match in the past which was done this way? because i think it would make fights way way more exciting knowing that a fighter will get nothing if he hits the canvass or gets schooled for 12 rds. what are your thoughts on this?

It's never serious, and it would be ******ed for any fighter to ever take this deal from a business standpoint.
And a fight on this level, where there really isn't a clear favorite is too risky for either one to go for winner take all. -
Winner take all is unrealistic and would never be agreed to in all seriousness. No one would want to invest that much time and effort and possibly get nothing out of it. Although the purse will in all probability be set in negotiations, having the winner get the lion’s share of the purse, say 55% for decision, 60% for K.O. would be interesting. Also if both sides think they deserve the lions share and both sides actually feel confident, maybe it would be the easiest route, though it probably won't happen like that.Comment

It's something you might see in a Hollywood script, but it would never, ever really happen. Both guys will make at least 30 million.
People were discussing this over at ESB and some people were saying "why wouldn't it happen?" and "I think it could actually happen".

Just a ploy thrown out there by Roach the Issue is not Money its testing. Unless Mayweather vs Mosley does some crazy number like 2 Mil, again the issue will be Testing not money.Comment

All fights should be 50-50.Comment

In the end, the only thing people really need to hear from camp Pac is if he'll accept the OST demands. If he doesn't, then anything else Roach says is just a useless quote.Comment

Wouldn't mind seeing such a fight on a big scale. Not gonna happen though.Comment

... No.
Could you imagine ODLH splitting 50/50 with Felix Sturm or something like that? Or how about Javier Castillejo?
Hell no all fights should not be 50/50. If you think a lot of good fights aren't made now because of money issues, that would be multipled by 1000. At least if someone is fighting someone who can't draw a crowd, they just get the bulk of the purse instead of fighting somebody worse for the same amount of money.Comment

Both fighters are doing exactly the same job and should get paid the same.Comment
