    The only problem is though, the winner's moronic fanbase will be 100x worse.

    So it's a double edged sword.
    Damn, I hadn't considered that. All this time I've been thinking of the positive of having half of the ****** population wiped out by a single fight, but I didn't stop to realize that the result could prove to be like 'roids for the other half of them.

    Super 'tards.

      He's always done slightly more PPV which is again a given since he's an English speaking fighter and therefore has more ability to "sell" himself. I think the difference is negligible so it should be 50/50 or at worst 55 to the winner. Theres no way its gonna happen for a 40m flat fee.

      No one was even mentioning the split before, it shouldn't be an issue now.
      According to Pacquaio and his team 50/50 was agreed to.

      Which only makes it more logical to agree to it now considering he did before.

        You may want the fight Manny, but Floyd doesn't.

        Forget about it Manny, it not going to happen, stop chasing Floyd and this fight and continue with fighters that actually want to challenge and test themselves.

          Thats the question that ppl need to start asking themselves now. someone needs to ask Floyd this in an interview if not done so already.

            Think about it.

            Both set's of idiots consider their fighter to be the greatest fighter ever. I think the Pacquaio idiots are worse in that regard, calling him "THE GOAT". I think the Mayweather fans are worse in the H2H aspect. And think Mayweather can beat pretty much anyone. Both very ******ed ideologies.

            Either way, whoever wins the idiots are going to go into super ****** mode

            Hopefully, the winner will lose shortly after And I say that was a fan of Floyd Mayweather. That's how bad some of his fans are.

              Lol @ a convincing Mayweather performance.... obviously the PPV numbers from Pac-Bradley can't be expected to be that good. Mayweather's card is always stacked with big names, so there's no chance of a flop. Bradley on the other hand is high risk low reward opponent. Massive props to Pac for taking that fight. Somebody's zero's gotta go...

                Yeh it makes no logical sense really.

                Thinking logically, Floyd wouldn't have agreed to it then if he doesn't agree now. Did he have a sudden epiphany that he sells more PPV?

                  Mayweather does better numbers but him and Pacquaio are still #1 and #2 and it's just a fair split IMO.
                  Respectfully, if mayweather does sell more as you acknowledge, its hard to say 50/50 is the logical medium. I just think its unfair for floyd to give away what he earned.

                    He doesn't do that much more though.

                    He does better numbers but it's not like he generates a crazy amount higher.

                    At best 55-45, IMO.

                    Asking for 100% is silly.

                      He did say "50/50 is off the table if you don't agree to it now"

                      But that's just ******, IMO.

                      But it is why I blame both camps for their idiocy.

                      It seems both camps are guilty of being ok with something one minute then not ok with something the next.
