If you go into details, yes Mayweather has sold more but not enough more to justify IMO the lions share of a megafight of this magnitude.

    DLH took the lions share beacause Mayweather wasn't selling **** before that fight, things would be very different if they fought now (most likely 50/50)

    End of the day though who gives a ****. I just want to see the damn fight, I don't care how much these guys make. But to people like you, Mayweather's pocket means more than the fight otherwise you wouldn't have typed a 4 page dissertation on why he deserves more.
    What numbers are you looking at?
    They are not equal at all.

    Please present to me a finanical argument in which we can add their numbers to show that they are equal in generating money?

      clottey is way way off the fanbase comparison, that guy is obscure only hardcore fans know him.
      I could've sworn that Pac reasoning for fighting Cotto instead of Mosley was because Cotto was the bigger draw and would make him more money(Not to mention that Roach said Mosley was too good). When they fought, there was a reason it was Cotto vs. Mosley and not the other way around.

      So floyd took on a lesser drawing opponent and STILL had a 150 more in PPV and beat the live gate by 4.5mil. Does this not prove he is a bigger draw by a substantial amount? If it doesn't, then I don't know what will.

        Just because your a Pacquiao doesnt mean you have to ignore basic Math.
        I am glad to see you didnt.

        I still want to know on what grounds do Team Pacquiao believe they are an equal to Mayweather when it comes to financial considerations?

        And by extension are Team Pacquiao, by asking for 50% effectively not just pricing themselves out of a fight with Floyd Mayweather, but also telling the Public they do not know how to count???

          Larryx>>>>Horus

          Atleast Larryx can pose a question without it being loaded, and keep his mind open to discussion.

          I guess you need guys like Horus to even out the Pacquiao extremists.

            Who is basing a PER PAY VIEW SPLIT or past purses?

            I am basing a revenue split based on past money generated which includes PPV buys, and the money the fighter took in from those PPV buys.

              How are these questions loaded?
              I presented facts, in which you can draw your own Conclusions.

              Either you can count or you cant!

              There is no statistical measure that Team Pacquiao can present that can show how they deserve and earned the right to %50 percent of all the revenue against Floyd Mayweather.

              Which is why I find it crazy how they made it a sticking point that they receive 50% or no fight !!!

                  let's face facts. team floyd has been trying to find a way out of this fight ever since pac KTFO hatton. they saw how floyd barely beat dlh and struggled to KO hatton and compared it to how pac made dlh quit and how pac KTFO hatton. then they realized they were in some real **** and have been looking for excuse to duck the fight ever since.

                      These are the kind of comments u get, when you oppose the current view, but have no fact or logic to back up your argument. It's exactly what they accuse FM of doing...DUCKING!
