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

[AllEyesOpen]

I think some nuthuggers still stuck at who's the cashcow mate! They prolly just wanted Floyd to be winning on Forbes list of top earners.

I'm not saying Mayweather isn't the biggest draw and money maker in boxing, but Pac is 2nd at this point so 50/50 is acceptable to me, i don't know if it is for Mayweather now.

A name has nothing to do with it does it? Shouldn't it be about who brings in more? I mean Butterbean has a name.

I mean if you were in floyds shoes would you be willing to give an opponent that much money just to fight him?

When i said name, i ment that aside from Mayweather, he's the next man in line for the biggest draw, it's not like he's a nobody and Mayweather's going to bring in all the $$$ himself. Both Mayweather & Pacquiao are the reason why this fight is the biggest event in boxing right now.

Looking at it from a fan point of view yes 50-50 no cut off etc should be acceptable, Pac brings a lot of fans, alot of achievements, a country etc to the table, If you beat Pac now you would be an instant ATG, The same for Mayweather as well, Whoever beats Mayweather first in his prime would be an instant ATG and a fan favourite forever for beating the guy "That everybody wanted to lose"

But achievement and country have nothing to do with negotiations. Based on live gate totals,manny isn't brining that many paying fans to his fights.

Respectfully, if floyd beats manny it isn't as big as if manny beats floyd. Manny is a great fighter and is well respected by boxing writers. That said, the odds have favored floyd for the most part. Its a fight floyd is expected to win. But that has nothing to do with money split either.

Is their anything tangible manny has that offsets the numbers?

[any craic lad?]

If both men are so sure off winning then a 40 40 split winner gets the remaining 20 many people have said it i think its the fairest job.This type of purse split should be used in negotitions like this it sorta says you can talk the talk now walk the walk

I see alot of posters saying this as it being the "it" thing to say when ever it comes to this topic.

Everyone knows they dont get paid as posters. I think everyone gets that but articles are released for a reason. Pumps put threads on here about it for a reason. Its not a crime to discuss a valid topic on this fight.

I look at it more from the posters point of view than the actual story or articles being printed. As I stated, there's nothing wrong with Floyd making the money he does because he worked for it, but In general I just find it funny that people use another man's finances as an anchor for arguments that really have nothing to do with the fight. The Forbes article isn't going to be the determining factor on what the split between Pac and Floyd is because Floyd makes money outside of Boxing which adds to his overall gross/net.

Just my 2 cents.

I see your point but I think they are not equal. Its like Leonard and Hagler. Manny brings in boxing fans floyd brings in casual sports fans. Hagler Hearns was a great fight. hagler Leonard was an event. Manny vs. Cotto was a big fight. Floyd Manny is an event.

If Manny wins I think he replaces floyd in the event category, just as floyd did ODH. If floyd wins nothing really changes! IMO.

I'm thinking you could have posted your last sentence and answered the post.

Why this boring, loud mouth, arrogant, sky high ego and many negative side a bigger draw than Pac? Just because some of his PPV buys higher than Pac automatically he is the bigger draw? Remember, 70-80% of those people who watched Floyd fights want him to lose and beside Pac a foreigner fighting in US soil is quite impressive having those PPV buys close to Floyd PPV buys. Now if he is really that bigger draw than Pac then why Pac was the one endorsing Nike products and not him? While almost 100 million filipino watch Pac fights in his country. How many millions do you think these Americans watch Floyd fights rooting for him to win? Or it could be they watched just to see someone spank his loud mouth and boring ass? And why Floyd fellow Americans the American Boxing writers voted Pacquiao fighter of the decade instead of him? Another thing, who is the 3 times fighter of the year and fighter of the decade? a welterweight champ? the first 7 divisions champ in boxing history? the first 4 lineal champ boxing history and so on? Floyd a bigger draw base on what?:bukkake:

TV Ratings, ppv sales and live gate receipts, the biggest variables in determining who is the bigger draw!
