    Point being. Floyd kicked Oscar's and every one else he's faced asses in true fashion.

    Manny's lost, been K.O'd, and built his fraudulent resume off of Mayweather's name who is the current cash cow of boxing as well as the blueprint.

    Manny also just got exposed in front of the world (by his biggest challenge to date) for a third time vs. Marquez whom Floyd shut out in one fight.

    AND they're talking about Manny facing Cotto?? For what??

    So Manny's con job deserves 50/50?

      In pure business sense Floyd should get the bigger slice , based on the numbers and revenue generated Floyd is way in front ,,,,,

      But the interest in this fight is built around both guys , its being dance partners that is worth the title of the biggest fight in history , neither could get anywhere near this sort of money from another opponent ,, based on that , I think the purse should be 50/50 or real close too it .

        i dont see the correlation with what you said here and how it applies to how Oscar and Manny split their purse.

          Wow. You do realise Pac wasn't always a WW and cash cow?

          I believe Oscar wanted 70-30, Pac's team wanted a bit more.

          Pac started asking 60-40 to see if Oscar would budge, felt 70-30 wasn't enough for the risk they were taking, and with Oscar being the one desperate to cherry pick Pac or else he'd have to fight Margarito instead (who Oscar wanted nothing to do with at the time).

          Many people don't remember, or they didn't follow the sport back then, but the fight got cancelled because of this.

          Oscar relcutantly was forced to offer 65-35 split, after another offer of 62-38 was declined, and it finally got made.

          So 65-35 was the official purse split for that fight, and Oscar got his ass whooped by a cherry pick.

                  Basically Oscar got the lion's share of that last huge payday in exchange for giving Manny super stardom. Oscar's name was used to promote Manny after Floyd already beat him.

                  Manny isn't even his own boss yet expects to ride off Mayweather's name and want 50/50 from the current cash cow who's never been beaten?

                  So Floyd should go half on his biggest payday to date to wipe the floor with Pac to later be told by the world: We knew that Pac was going to be easy work.

                  Floyd should give half to a known to be fully exposed after he wins smoke and mirrors act whom Bob Arum will be taking most if not all of that other half in exchange for orchestrating a complete fraudulent hype job?

                  Floyd should just fight Canelo at this point and let Manny tank on his own.

                  Even if Arum fixes an in house win vs Cotto. Who cares? To prove Manny can beat him again? Or take a chance of Manny getting his ass kicked a fourth time by Marquez even if Marquez gets robbed? FOUR fights? With a fighter Floyd shut out once? Lamont Peterson? Who knows him? Tim Bradley??

                  Manny fights Cotto again...and people see Manny already beat him...People who just watch big boxing events will wonder why he's fighting someone he's already soundly beaten. If Manny fights Marquez people will wonder why he's fighting him for a forth time when Manny already said "It was clear to me I won the fight".

                  Floyd can STILL trump Manny by calling out or having Martinez call him out while he's in or fresh out of doing time.

                  That would hype that fight up even more. Floyd's 'rusty' from being in prison. Martinez is much bigger...They could play that angle up while Manny recycles his previously beaten opponents and or fights fighters with no name in regards to the general public for an in house payday.

                    Was Oscar-Floyd a 50-50 split? What exactly are we talking about here?

                      ****ing idiot. Another revisionist who thinks Pacquiao started boxing in 2008. De La Hoya was expected to wipe the floor with Pac, he wasn't exchanging anything. That's why the fight was cancelled at 70-30 and Pac would only accept 65-35. You think if he was gauranteed to become a huge megastar Pac wouldn't have taken the 70-30? ****** ass hater. Oscar was the one using Pac's P4P best status to for a cheap victory to claim he was once again the best in the sport. You ******* haters were claiming Roach was cashing out on Pac and that's all this fight was to him.

                      And that fight had nothing to do with Mayweather. I don't understand Floyd's ******ed fans obsession with this. Pac had the biggest fights of 2008 and 2009 when Floyd was retired and people were starting to forget about him. Floyd hadn't fought from the Pacquiao-Marquez II fight to when Pacquiao signed to fight Cotto. No-one was riding off Mayweather's name. How many times did you hear it during De La Hoya-Pacquiao?

                      It was Mayweather who came back to hijack Pac-Hatton, holding a press conference at the venue only hours before the fight to announce he was fighting Pacquiao's rival. After that fight all the talk was a possible Pac-Mayweather fight. It hasn't stopped since and it was ****ing Mayweather who attached his name to Pac's. And Floyd has not done better numbers as an A-side since he made sure everyone believed Pac was his rival.

                      As for the 50-50 split, Pac's numbers speak for themselves. He's sold 2 million more PPVs, including double what Floyd has done since he came back, and double what Floyd did last year. Pac's the one breaking PPV records, and outsold Floyd in their most recent fight and most recent common opponent. Anyone claiming Pacquiao doesn't deserve 50-50 is a ****ing Mayweather nut sucker
