Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Mayweather Should Give Pacquiao The 50-50

[edgarg]

Anytime doesn't mean May 5th .

It's just like saying "you're welcome" when someone thanks you.

Ted Atlas is not a boxing fan.

Amazing how a boring boxer gets to dictate the terms.

Wow...just wow!

Why would he ask for a 50/50 purse split? Arum guarantees Pacquiao's money, not Mayweather. They have never discussed a 50/50 purse split. It has always been 50/50 in the revenue department.

Pacquiao co-promotes every one of his events with Top Rank, under the MP Promotions company, so he gets his purse as the fighter and he gets a piece of the promotion. Mayweather also co-promotes his fights with Golden Boy under different terms, which is why a 50/50 split of the revenue for both sides is the only way it makes sense. Both fighters are also the co-promoters.

this is what a lot of people don't realize. they say pac only gets $6 million for his fights based on what was filed with nsac but that's before his share or the promotions and ppv revenues.

I think floyd is insane, he laid down a bundle of demands and it seems he stood on it, why talk if at the end result nobody will give way. Is floyd think he can get the equal amount of money if he fight other guy? w/ a 50-50 split i think he can get double or triple the amount if he fight pac.

At the end of the day, even someone like Teddy Atlas (a well known FMJ crusader, he admits it himself) see's through the bull****.

[ippo_miyata]

A well known ally of mayweather called floyd demand was bull****. That's unusual to hear from Teddy Atlas but he really do make sense. 50-50 is a fair shake for both of them because they are the both number 1 p4p boxer.

I agree with Teddy.

[switchsouthpaw]

It's rare, but every now and then, rational minds prevail. Thank you Teddy Atlas, thank you. And before you say "he's an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about", keep in mind he has no dog in this fight, and has supported Mayweather publicly more so than anyone else.

Take out Oscar from both of them since those are Oscar's #, they were B-sides.
Then recalculate...
