so who is the bigger draw?? who sells more ppv buys??? numbers dont lie!!!

You left out Pac vs. Cotto, Margarito, and Clottey over that same time period. Plus they both were not the headliners but yet B-side fighter vs. DLH. You need to put PPV buys in context. Not to mention its easier to get higher one night numbers if you sell your event as something that happens every 18 months vs. something that happens every 6 months? Example a Mayweather fan is only asked to shell out $60 every 18 months while a Pac fan is asked to shell out $180 in that same time period. So Manny has sold more than Floyd PPV period. Not to mention Floyd is American and Pac is not and not to mention that Pac generates more overseas money than Floyd... Floyd wasn't even a PPV fighter until he fought Gatti and in both Gatti and DLH PPV he was the B-side fighter... 50/50 is fair and Pac has sold more PPVs than Floyd period check the numbers but you know that, that's why you left off ALL of their PPV numbers since 2005 when they both made their PPV debuts because Pac has sold more PPV. (FACT)

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.

A bundle , try 1 , OST and Pac matched it with his 10 mill forfeit , they are negotiating a date and money in which both have demands !

You guys really only ever go down a one way rd , its a negotiation I really dont know what you argue who has a right to ask whatever , they both doing it not just Floyd , just the same as any other big fight deal ,,,,

I think its looking much better and they are not sounding out every day , lots of rabbits around the cabbage patch spinning rumors , but the main bunnys are saying nothing , I like the silence I think its very positive ,,,, fingers crossed it happens .

[trainhard_187]

Why are people so jaded by the prospect of Floyd not really wanting 50/50 for a "fight of this magnitude"? The golden goose that this fight is chasing is the Floyd vs ODLH fight. And guess what...despite Oscar being on the tail end of his career he still got the A-side of the promotion, the larger split, ring size, glove size, and weight. Look at what FLOYD gave up to make a fight of "this magnitude" to happen. Now just cause it's Floyd, all of a sudden for the holder of the highest ordered fight and largest gate amount in history to ask for more than 50/50 is unfair....This is a business and it was here before Floyd and it will be here after Floyd. Get the hate out of your hearts and realize the reason this fight has any steam to it is because Manny is being promoted as the guy that could beat Floyd...not the other way around. The subconscious thinking of that let's you know who the dictator is.

And for the record...I don't get any money from this fight and as a fan I would love for Floyd to accept 50/50 if that is truly the only hurdle left to clear. But again this is a business, so I'm not hating on any of them for getting their business straight....just like when Pac was willing to walk away from the Hatton fight of 1%...it's a business, baby!

This is true!

May 5th, 50 - 50 and no lawsuit, make it happen.

The lawsuit could be worth more than the fight. Don't forget the suit is not only against Mayweather but also against Mayweather senior and Roger Mayweather. ........If Pacquiao "drops" it, it will surely be a negotiated settlement like the one against Oscar, Golden Boy and Schafaer. Those discussions were "undisclosed" but I'm sure Arum and pacquiao got a goodly sum as well as the Golden Balls small share of Pacquiao's purses.

Pacquiao offered a pay cut to 50-50. His initial intent was 70-30 in his favor. Manny does not lie.

Wrong, Pac agreed to a lesser cut, may 5th and blood testing, because he fights for the fans and wants to give them what they want.. However Bob does not want the fight and insists every other scenario that does not involve Mayweather and the *******s rejoice because of it.

but..... like I have said, it should be 50-50 though. The funny part of all of it is, is if Pac walked away with at least HALF of what Mayweather makes, that in its own, is good. Like Mayweather told him, get control of your people....

If that happens, the fight gets made. Problem is, Pac is too coward to do anything about it.
