The most sensible argument on the PAC/MAY revenue split

[Amazinger]

I've been reading the countless post about who deserves more money. The consensus seems to be that Floyd fans say PAC doesn't deserve 50%. They like to lay out figures about how much better Floyd fights have sold than Pac's. My answer to that is who gives a ****. Those numbers don't mean anything. I'm concerned about the numbers projecting forward. What is the common phrase attached to this fight. "It will be the biggest fight of all-time". Not of the decade or the past 50 years, but of all-time. The estimates are mind blowing. 3-4 million ppv buys, possible close to 5 million. That would be double the current highest selling fight of all-time(Oscar vs Floyd). How is that possible? Why could this fight not just break records, but shatter them into a million ****ing pieces? It's a simple answer people. The answer is the two men who will be fighting. Those numbers only become a reality if you have the #1A and #1B best and most popular fighters on the planet going at it. Only possible if one superstar and icon is standing across the ring from another superstar and icon. There is no other way. Floyd can't approach those numbers without Manny and Manny can't do it without Floyd. Floyd has been the A-side for his past 3 fights and the best he has done is 1.4 million. The best Manny has done is 1.2 million. These guys have a ceiling by themselves, but together they could be limitless. They are equal in importance, so they should be equal in reward. Quit disrespecting Manny Pacquiao. Give him his 50%!!!!!!!!!!

55%/45% winner gets 55% and loser the 45%...that will be a good starting pointThat 5% is a good enough incentive to win the fight.

that's weak.


oscar couldn't get to 2.4 w/o floyd, and vice-versa.......


that didn't entitle floyd to a 50-50 split with oscar.

pac-floyd can't find anyone else right now that would generate as much money. dlh still had the option of facing hatton to generate close to or even exceed 2.4 mil, no?

Manny should have to pay Floyd a percentage of all of his fights because the only reason he is popular is because he is the number 1 contender to Floyd's Fighter of the century crown. Its like the Red Sox vs. Yankees, without the Yankees the Red sox would be a joke and would have no national audience. They wouldnt be able to afford their huge payroll and no one would care about a team that went about 80 years without a title win. However, the Yankees would be fine, there would be a new rival. Just as after Floyd beats Manny people will suddenly crown Kahn, Margs, Williams, Martinez etc...the new Floyd challenger. It never ends. No matter how good, no matter how dominant and no matter how many times you fight, there is always someone out there with a fanboy fanbase that believes they can beat you and youre ducking them. Wlad Klitschko is the closest to coming to the end, but he never will. There will always be some tard that says Wlads ducking Evander Holyfield or some nonsense like that. Even his haters have resorted to having to go back in time and pick embellished fighters from the past who supposedly beat him. Sorry MuhhamadM, Wlad would beat Sonny Liston, Ali and Joe Louis on the same night, then he'd beat Bobby Fischer in a game of chess, win the cold war for the Soviet Union and still have enough time to time travel back to the future and tuck Hayden into bed. Floyd's the best. He isnt elevated by this fight, Pac is. Pac is the chosen one who fans have declared is destined to beat Floyd. Floyd's the story, he deserves more money. Plus PBF you know is going to spend that cash. As an American citizen that will be a good boost to the economy. Whats Pac going to do with his money?

PAC deserve 60% because he's the Fighter Of The Decade but since Mayweather is all crying about it I think 50/50 is fair.

on false pretense. you cant say he's got 7 titles in 7 different division because catchweight fights are not a division fight. he never should have gotten any belt. they like made up a belt. wake up. pacyow beat guys floyd beat first and literally shut out marquez who beat pacyow twice.

700k>1.4 million. mosley was never a ppv star and thats proven so the majority of the 1.4 is all little floyd.

Well, what do we have here: in one corner a limited slugger on roid-rage with losses to the great names Singsurat, Torrecampo, Morales, and a career that bases on hype-job of a deluded fanbase.
In the other corner a legendary boxer whose personality and ring-generalship is bigger than life, with the epic record of 41-0, moving fans and haters.

Conclusion: a solid 60/40 for Money Mayweather.
