    This thread is a good way to see how people apply logic when discussing topics. This is a softball question. No where does it ask about floyd or manny but how MONEY should be split in general.

        Take all into account, except P4P rank, that means jack squat anyways.

          *ignoring the typical spam BS*

          it's combo of things to be honest but the biggest aspect quite simply is being a draw not only at the gate but in PPV sales and revenue generated.

          whether we like it or not boxing is a business and this business likes to generate as much coin as possible whether it PPV sales or site fees or gate.

          I do take into account other aspects like status in the boxing community (ie P4P, being the best of your division, long standing champ etc), crowd pleasing style even race/nationality but overall when it comes to who gets what it should always be who earns more that should drive it

            Yeah, well Manny had to fight Cotto for that belt, so you tell em its BS and he also defended it against Clottey... but yea..you dont fight for a living, so....

                    Keep personal insults & attacks out of the thread.

                    Discuss the topic, not the person posting in the topic.

Still pisses holmes off til this day.
                      Big Dunn trying to be all racist and still.

                      I agree with what you said. PPV's are all about the cheese.
