When you add in the fact that floyd did better at ppv sales and at the live gate than Manny in the last 2 fights 60/40 split for floyd is not totally unreasonable. I'm thiniking 55/45 is fair. In another thread I posted the following:
Manny v Cotto 1.25 mil ppv sales
Manny v. Clottey 750K
Total 1.95 mil x $49. 95 = $97,402,500/ ($222.275,200)=%43.8
Floyd v. Marquez 1.1 mil
floyd v. ssm 1.4
total 2.5 mil x $49.95= $124,875,000/($222,275,200)*100= %56.2
$97,402,500+$124,875,000 = $222,275,500 (all fights)
Strictly economically speaking, manny can't justify asking for a 50/50 split because no matter what awards, accolades, championships etc. he has more people pay more money to see floyd fight than manny.
