      I don't overly care what Floyd makes but I can understand from the number why he would demand a bit more, but for Manny I would only agree to a small advantage to Floyd an only if I gained other things from it. If Floyd agress to 50/50 well Manny has to man up and do what he doesn't want to do.

      Really though they need to get the fight made, it should not be this difficult to split up 100 million between two guys.
      Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer when he made DLH quit in his stool. 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 was the cotto,pac fight and Mayweather 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 which 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 1.25 pac, cotto, 1.4 may, mosely.

      Btw, Mayweather and Mosely are both americans who are asking american viewing pubic to pay HBO PPV.

      If pac was an american he could have done even more for sure. In his country alone he shuts down his country literally. No one works, evident that a fighter of his caliber is supported by his own people as Ali was supported by americans, Roy jones, sugar ray, Hagler, Hearns etc.

      knowing these facts and common sense, they both deserve a 50/50 split.

      PPv numbers for the Mayweather vs Mosely garnered 1.4million. 2 americans in their homeland. While Pacman who is a foreigner who fought cotto who is just as popular as mosely got 1.250 million ppv.

      Plus, considering Pac is the fighter of the decade, pound for pound king, and 7 division champ. Pac is definitely giving a lot on the table to make this a PPV success.

      Pac's credentials and Mayweathers credentials are the reason this is suppose to break PPV all time record.

      They need each other: 50/50 is the way to go.

      If Floyd has to be a greedy bastard the most he can ask is 55/45 no more no less. If it's 60/40 he is definitely ducking the fight again plain and simple.

      He is over pricing himself if he asks more than a 55/45 split.

      Common sense should dictate a 50/50 split, but just so it happens 55/45 is fine with me and most fans, more than that is just crazy talk, Boxing fans make this fight happen!

      If Floyd will insist to a 60/40 boxing fans should expose Floyd as the ducker he really is!

If it's the same old excuse that Floyd has a higher PPV sale, like i said before, that was the same situation already back in March and even before that. So why the **** it should change now.
          Rommel: thats Bob's fault. No one told him to put manny in with an unproven draw in such a large stadium. Manny only sold 750k ppv and his live gate (with 51k fans in attendance) was lower than floyd ssm (16k in attendance). Bob made a bad business move. Floyd generated much more money. Any fighter, including you, would change how much they asked for given the situation. don't hate on floyd when you'd do it too. Its business pure and simple.

            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.

            Pac wasn't a house hold name yet when he fought DLH. It was after beating DLH that made him a popular boxer when he made DLH quit in his stool. Mayweather was already a star when he fought DLH and had fought in american soil in more years than pac.

From a ppv standpoint alone he has generated about $300 mil more than manny. Is it fair for him to split the purse? Is manny splitting the purse with cotto? he didn't last time.

                Harder obstacles? Thats your opinion because you like manny. That has nothing to do with business negotiations.

                No matter who we like or don't like, the purse split is about economics. Any way you cut it floyd generates more money than manny. If you really want to be fair!
                if all the *****s think like u then i would not expect a Pac-floyd fight. all u *****s are spoiling this overrated *****. Floyd was a typical american olympian who was groomed to be a boxing star while Pac did it the hard way by earning respect of his countrymen and making a big statement in the US.

                Floyd generates more money? ur not counting the endorsements of Pac right? Floyd is an overrated punk who is afraid to get exposed.

But then we have people saying the guy doesnt fight for money, yeah right and i dont mind him getting or asking for whatever he thinks he deserve but the man isnt a saint and he fights for himself and family no one else.
                  seems to me people are for 50/50

                    you are not even a boxing fan then.....if your dislike for one fighter makes you a fan of another fighter solely for that reason
