Can ANYONE name ANY superfight that BOTH fighters got a 50/50 purse split and why?

Now that I think of it you're right, wasn't that 5 million a piece?

I don't remember how much exactly it was. Just remember it was split down the middle.

HAHAHA TS was trying to make a ****** statement like, "no super fights were ever 50/50" then he gets shot down in the first post.


Now hes gonna come in and say "no i was really just wondering"
what a joke.

So it would be safe to say Frazier is to Ali like Manny is to Floyd?

Or vice versa, sure why not. Whatever comparison you want to make, just make it.

Wladimir was willing to go 50-50 with a chump like Haye cos he was so desperate to get his hands on him.

I think you are jumping the gun a bit. 200 years of this sport and one example came up I think the TS's point is still valid

Not a good comparison, Ali and Frazier were willing to fight each other from the jump once Ali got his licensing issues squared away whereas Floyd and Manny were squandering negotiations from the start despite how many opinions think otherwise.

Both Ali and Frazier were smart enough to know that they would be making the most money of any heavyweight fight in history in that time and Floyd and Manny fail to recognize the records they'd be breaking revenue wise with their "potential" fight.
