    45-55 is fair for Pac vs Fmj

    going by the Cotto and Mosley fights, Mayweather did outsell Pacquiaos by a bit.

    Pacquiao isn't american so it's reasonable he won't sell as much as Floyd in the states, it's also reasonable that Floyd get's a slightly bigger share of the USA PPV buys.

    I don't count the De La Hoya or Hatton fights as Mayweather being a bigger draw, Pacquiao has slowely climbed his way to the top, where as Mayweather boomed fast after the DLH fight. And, Pacquiao fought during a big recession with those fights.

    Pacquiao with each fight seems to get bigger (700k with Clottey is incredible) but as of now I think Floyd can get his little bonus 45-55. I wish it was 50-50 though instead of these little psychological games killing this fight.

          I agree. It seems logical since floyd makes more money per fight currently. Both will get the most they have ever made this way so they can't complain.

            Green K given, I'm not sure why I understand why SO many people are into how much moneya boxer makes (when they don't get a cent from it) or the PPV numbers (which also affect no one besides the boxers.)

              Why the *** does either fighter "have to" get the better end of the deal?


              50/50 and get the fight on already!!!

                umm no, pac brings a better world wide audience hence more revenue in that respect. also may vs mosley had the biggest promotion in history which pac vs cotto didnt. so no 50-50 is fair not 45-55

                  trust me I know, the only reason I stick my nose into this is because it get's broad casted as the reason why we aren't seeing the fight. I'd love 50-50 obviously.

                  I don't think Floyd wants to even fight Pacquiao though in my honest opinion, I know all you Floyd fans know this to.

                  Even the whole blood testing thing was simply his way out, he doesn't care about cleaning up the sport I mean look at the guy.

                    Because floyd is the draw. Simple. ODH made more than floyd and Pac. Pac made more than Cotto and JMM. floyd made more than hatton and JMM. The only time fighters make the same is if the champ is fighting a big draw, example Cooney v Holmes.
