60/40 for Floyd fair?

[Heru]

50/50 is fair, but neither option would be 100% right.

If Mayweather's advisors were worth their salt, they would get him some extra points on the split if we go by the numbers.

...speaking of FACTS,Pacquiao and Cotto were promoted heavily and both fighters have massive crowds,yet still didn't outsell Floyd and Shane (Shane is not a big ppv draw).So every fight Pac has had-even with common opponents,he was outsold by Floyd....that's not debatable.

Manny bases his purse split due to how much he sells with ppv (this was why he demanded more than Cotto, Hatton, Clottey, etc),so why b1tch about this when Floyd does...makes no sense.

Not as heavy as Mayweather Mosely fight. GBP went all out promoting this one. You must be blind to consider it is equal in promotion with the Cotto Pacquiao fight.

Let me explain something to you. I am sure you are a fan who just got into boxing because you like Pacquiao, so let me quickly explain a few bits how boxing's business side works.

DLH-Mayweather is the biggest seller of all time because two guys were huge superstars. They each made that fight as big a seller as it was. Like Holyfield-Tyson or Tyson-Lewis, two stars fighting each other makes the most money.

Pac-Cotto also had two superstars pushing it. Cotto is almost as big a star as Pac and they did very well together, just as they were supposed.

May-Mosely is special to *anyone* who knows about boxing because not only did it only have one superstar, Floyd, it had no latino in the main event. That hasn't happened in over a decade. Shane has only been on PPV as an opponent and has never been a draw.

Lastly: In the sport known as boxing, the fighter who sells more PPVs and tickets gets the bigger share of the money. That is how it works, period. If you stack Floyds numbers up next to Manny's, there's no comparison.

Don't get me wrong, I like Manny a lot, but if he wants the chance to take Floyds 0 and make history, he may need to be humble a little bit and take less money. That's how it works in boxing.

I hope you learned something, and goodnight new boxing fans.

bs.. pac's and cotto's fight were no more promoted than his fights with diaz or ricky, there's a constant rise of pac's ppv ratings not because hes heavily promoted in boxing but because of his boxing performance which in turns fuels journalist outside of boxing ( TIME MAGAZINE FOR EXAMPLE).. to cover him

people like pac cus of wat he does.... people like may because hes associated with pac.. just like he was associated with ricky whos the draw and he was associated with ODLH.. who was also the draw

truth is.. may is a piggybacker even his fight with shane was a piggyback off pacquiao and not cus of their fight but cus of the fight they were gonna but the negotiation stopped and there was a huge hype behind it

So are you saying Pac/Cotto never had a 24/7 or any other advertisements? They had hype behind it definitely.Both Pac and Cotto are big draws-it just wasn't as big as Floyd's fight-why get bent out of shape over it? Your bizarre theories don't hold much credibility compared to PPV numbers.
Your example of Pac being on Time mag's cover,his BWAA awards,etc only add to his own personal hype-yet he still isn't outselling Floyd (who is not half as publicly hyped through the media as Manny at the moment)....how do you explain that?

The guy with a nursery rhyme about Floyd looking like a monkey is calling my assessment "bias" (biased, my man)?

I didn't make any mistakes and *you* set the premise. Good job.

Do some research before you post, because keep trolling and the mods will eventually ban you.

If Manny is so large as you guys say (being on Time magazine,etc) then why does he need more hype than a 24/7 and commercials,as well as tour promotions,etc. You have an excuse for everything.....he still hasn't outsold Floyd on any common opponents-why is that?
You guys are full of double standards...

Nice try paulf but he will not or cannot understand.
