    lol! Those who bought the PPV 70-80% not because of him. Try this scenario, Floyd vs Mosley in Asia and Pac vs Mosley in Asia who do you think has more PPV buys? 50-50 is fair for both of them unless the other one wants to ***** out.

      The Asian ppv market doesn't matter. We are discussing the American market.
      As to your 1st point it doesn't matter WHY they buy just that they do. Because people buy fights to see floyd lose he's generated a larger live gate, tv ratings, and ppv sales than manny.

      When you go to the store do you buy food with only the money you got from people you like?

        Well the numbers don't matter for Asia there irrevelant so why bring upthat dumb ass point he should outsell Floydin Asia. Like Floyd is outsellinghim in the US where PPV #'s matter; your only as good as your fight so its 60/40 orPac can fight Cottoor Margirito its that simple.

          It just really confirms what a lot of us already knew, that Mayweather is worth a slightly bigger split than Pacquiao. 55-45 would be perfect, hopefully they can meet each other in the middle.

            Floyd won't see this kind of money if he fights another fighter other than Pac. Pac can retire now and still richer than Floyd. If my memory serves me right. Floyd owed a lot of tax money to IRS and borrowed money (JMM purse fight) to GBP to settle it even before the JMM fight materialize.

                I don't know who is worth more and don't care! Floyd already makes about 9-10 mil more per fight than Manny. yes he owed tax money but I don't know how that relates to who is worth more. I agree they make the most fighting each other. But floyd can make $20 mil guarantee without manny. I don't see how manny gets $20 mil without floyd.

                From a business standpoint its bad for floyd to accept a 50/50 split now. He is proven to be the "a" side. This was debateable in March.

                  Are you serious he just made 30-40 million fighting Shane; Manny made 1mill fighting Clottey not counting the fact he getting robbed by Arum and his dumb ass team and owes GBP 10% of his purse every fight so try again.

                      lol! its well known to all of us that most people who watched Floyd fights want Floyd to lose. So those number I stated above I was wrong. It should be 90%!
