Question About purse Splits: Please Answer

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Can someone answer this question..........

Lets say you are a fighter, and you make $40 million a fight right.
The world wants you to fight a guy who only makes about $ 20 million a fight.( after ppv)

Your purse for this big fight is around $50 million (only $ 10million more than you make)

Your opponent wants 50/50 so his purse is also $ 50 million( $30million more than he makes)

Keep in mind your opponent is also suing you for millions.

You can make another $ 40 million purse fighting Cotto.
Your opponent can make $ 20 million fighting Bradley.

Doesn't it seem like your opponent is gonna come out of the negotiations way better than you?

I mean.....your opponent will make $30 million more than he ever has while you will only make $10 million more than you ever have.

Plus once he wins his lawsuit against you, your opponent will get a few more million.
So What is in it for you to fight this guy with a 50/50 split + a lawsuit?

Seems to me like you could continue to make your $40 million a fight and say screw the other guy.

He needs you more than you need him in my eyes.

TBH I like the Pac-Bradley fight more so than I like the Floyd-Cotto fight.

And, I doubt Pac wins the lawsuit against Floyd. Can't even believe that nonsense is still going on. smh.

But can you answer the question?
Would you give him 50/50?

I think they do similar numbers and gate that yes the fight should be 50/50.

Ok....so both of the fighters sell a million PPv

But what about the bottom line($$$$$$)? One fighter makes 2 times more than the other.

Well one fighter has a promoter and while the other one is his "own boss" and pretty much promotes his own events, and invest on everything from his own events. To maximize his share.

But, again doesn't one is more of a draw than the other. I do believe that they're equally if not very close so in drawing power.

Where the fight should be 50/50.
