This is getting interesting. Seems like people are divided. 50/50 seems the way to go with the money split.
But lets see if this goes on for months will see what the outcome will be.
The poll is pretty divided.
The statistical PPV numbers since they both fought De La Hoya say otherwise.
If I were Floyd I'd accept 50/50 but any way you slice it, its gonna be very difficult for him to accept 50/50 again. Just more problems preventing the fight

That's where your wrong. Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer. Mayweather was already a star when he fought DLH and had fought in american soil in more years than pac.
It was after DLH that shoot him up as a house hold name. Pac was going up in popularity.
When Pac fought hatton it was 850k while before that mayweather fought hatton for 900k. (note hatton that time was undefeated so it was more sale able to the viewing public knowing their both undefeated fighting each other.
When Pac fought Hatton he still did 850k even if Hatton's star power wasn't the same like when he faced Mayweather coz he wasn't undefeated anymore.
The best way of gauging their populartiy is their present fight that had 24/7 and commercial hype, which is cotto,pac and Mayweahter mosely fight.
You can't pay a hollywood actor a huge talent fee if his star power is waning down. If a holllywood actor was big in the 90's but not anymore at present. Will you still pay him the huge amount he commands in the past? Ofcourse not, you give him his talent on assumption of his star quality @ present.
Hence the best comparison is the closest present fight they both had an even popular opponent. With both having 24/7 and commercials.
Note: Mosely Mayweather promotion was way up in promoting hype and commercials compared to cotto pac. Golden Boy spent a ton of money in commercials and billboards etc. And there numbers where close 1.3 pac cotto, 1.4 may mosely.
Btw, Mayweather and Mosely are both americans who are asking american viewing pubic to pay HBO PPV.
I say mayweather not because hes better but because hes got that bad guy that everyone wants to see get knocked dha *** out personality going for him and that sells ppv(even if its to see him on hes back) he draws more ppl then Pac,Pacquiao is more of a humble religious reserved guy.
