    Ottke Twin just gave a more recent example. Wlad-Haye was a 50-50 split. What exactly is the TS point? Since it's valid and all.

          Pont being Manny will never be = to a Joe Frazier.

          Manny is only a con act. Nothing more.

          And let's face it. WK is nowhere near a Floyd Mayweather in any shape or form.

            No I'm asking YOU. Because, it was YOU who said he's point was valid. I'm not shooting anything down. Because, I don't see a point here. So I can't shoot a point down if there isn't any. But, since you believe his point is valid. Tell me what his point is.

            And, again you keep getting more examples.

            Not every fight is going to be 50/50. Not every 2 opponents are going to be as equal in drawing power as his opponent. But, when it does happen. There is a precedent of 50/50 split even if it's rare. So what's the issue here?

              With that example Manny should then prove 50/50 'fairness' to JMM to fight him a fourth time before requesting it of Floyd.

                So you started this thread to point out that Pac does not equal Frazer and that Wlad doesn't equal Floyd. That's your point to this thread? Alright, glad we got that out of the way.

                  Actually he is better than him because he is a champion at a much heavier division.

                    Lewis Tyson was 50/50, wasn't it?

                    -.-; Are you going to act like this wasn't huge too? This was a pvp hosted by HBO AND showtime, it was HUGE.

                    Wlad/Haye was 50/50 as well.

                    You have to keep in mind, it isn't often that a fight is labeled a "superfight" for these weight classes or at all. So you have to look at every "super fight" that has taken place and judge from there IMO.

                    I also remember Holyfield and Tyson agreeing to a 50/50 split after a long war of words with Duva and King

                    Hatton/Pacman was almost 50/50 too, though Pacman ended up demanding more money. It was still damn close to 50/50. It was 52-48

                    Aside from those, someone find the percentages for some huge fights like
                    Oscar/Tito
                    Whitaker/Chavez

                      So you want to even want to see a Floyd-Pac fight next. You rather see Pac-JMM IV next. And, have Floyd fight either Cotto or Canelo....Good stuff.
