45-55 is fair for Pac vs Fmj

[Boxing Scene]

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.

I won't comment about the whole blood test issue, that just starts useless flame wars, but I do think obviously both parties should make the fight happen, otherwise there will ALWAYS be the what if question posed in the forums.

[apokalips]

Why would anyone on here say 50/50 or no fight? Why does it matter that much to you that you don't want the fight to happen if it isn't 50/50 split?

You can do 45/55 Floyd, 14 day cut off, 10 mill per pound and that would seem fair to me, but I don't care that much tbh I just want them to get it on.

50/50. But if it ever get to a point of who should get more, we all know who should get it..

mayweather/clottey with no heavypromotion/24/7 wont sell 700k ppvs + sit 50k....

Fair point pacmann77. But it was interesting that HBO passed on investing that amount of money on pac/clottey.

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


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

If you were aware of boxings history you would know why one fighter gets "the better end of the deal ." This is nothing new. So it's hard to understand why your clueless.

At the end of the day it should be 50/50. If they want more money then they should do 60/40 or 55/45 to the winner.

Mayweather done 1.4 million buys with Mosley who can't give away tickets for his fights for free. Pac done 1.25 with Cotto who can sell out baseball stadiums. May deserves a slightly higher cut like 53-47

Speculation means nothing during negotiations. It has no power. Numbers and facts have the power.

The math says floyd deserves the bigger slpit:

Mayweather PPVs in millions(estimate)

Mosley 1.4
Marquez 1.0
Hatton 1.0
DLH 2.4
Baldomir .3
Judah .3

Total = 6.4 million


Pacquiao PPV buys in millions(Estimate)

Clottey .7
Cotto 1.25
Hatton 1.0
DLH 1.4
Diaz .2
Marquez .45

Total = 5 million

5 million(Pacquiao) + 6.4 million(Maywweather) = 11.4 million(Pot)

6.4 million(May) / 11.4 million = 56% of the pot

5 million(Pac) / 11.4 million = 44% of the pot
