How do you think the Forbes report will affect purse split for Mayweather/Pacquio

[Ray*]

We have all had a lot of discussions about how the money will be split. Just wondering what, if any, affect the income rankings put out by Forbes will have on negotiations. Since its clear Mayweather is the more lucrative fighter do you think its reasonable for the purse split to be equal?

Its irrelevant!!!

Its irrelevant!!!

I'm thinking it makes floyd's camp even less likely to agree to 50/50 split. Perhaps this is why Roach accepted the march terms the other day.

You think Bob can convince him otherwise? From a business standpoint I'm thinking there is no wat floyd and his team move from the larger purse split. The reality is even with all the claims of him being a ducker, cherrypicker by lefgitimate boxing writers fans are paying to see him.

I doubt it, I could care if one got 80% of the money personally but I think Pac has that ego thing going now so it would be hard to convince him to take a smaller cut. Arum is a greedy old man and he will jump on his plan B, whether that is Margs or Cotto, in a heartbeat. You know he really wants to keep 100% of the money in house and probably hates working with Mayweather anyways.

you know me I don't put anyone on ignore. Maybe I need to start.

It's your call, just don't forget the main ingredient....

You gotta be a nuthugger first.

Objective individuals and people accountable for themselves don't have an ignore list.

But some people, like Burner, have an ignore list, coz trolls don't stay on topic. That's his predicament and I say it's cool.

Reasons why people have ignore list vary, but when the reason is to supress the free exchange of ideas for own personal nuthugging and racial endeavour, then that's ****ing gay!

Forgot to add that Vito Corleone/dios dominicano is the biggest racist **** ***** of 'em all.

Nah, You dont bring a book, award, ranking etc to the negotiating table, You bring your numbers to the table.

I once posted I thought top rank was smart to not match manny against slick black boxers as he has come up in weight because manny has not looked his best when facing boxers. Pistol whip then called me a racist. Is that all it takes?

Exactly, the numbers are more proof of who is the "a" side. IMO if I'm floyd there is no way I give equal money to manny. It jusst doesn't make good business sense, especially when its floyd who is going to have to handle most of the promotion given the language barrier manny would have to overcome.

Another rule of thumb mate.

When someone says something, just think...what the **** does he know anyways?

It sometimes matter who's talking you know?

Am sure they would work something out, If am Pac i would want 50% and if am Mayweather i would want more than 50%. So its up to them to come right down to the middle.
