I doubt it, but damn it'd be amazing if that happened.

In terms of money split, I think it should be 55-45. Floyd generates more PPV and ticket revenue per fight, and has been in the Top 4 highest grossing non-HW fights ever.

That $40 mil guarantee is looking pretty good right now.

That's the truth.

This is old but Bob Arum should really think about this

This fight is 60-40 AT BEST for Manny (getting 40%, I mean).

Even if they give $30M for Manny Pacquiao and $70 to Mayweather, the chickenweather won't sign. Trust me. Pacquiao-Bradley is a fluke, the chicken knows it's the ugliest bait for him. I bet the chicken would end up fighting the likes of Andre Berto, Ortiz rematch, or the slow moving Canelo.

Shade Manny highest payday is $28 mil, including ppv revenue. Manny is still signed with TR. If he gets $40 mil to fight floyd, even if he gets no ppv revenue, that is a 43% increase in salary, which is great for anyone.

Now the fight MAY (its not gauranteed) generate well over $100 mil if they are able to sell more than 2.45 ppv units. If that happens, Manny still gets a 43% increase in salary. If it doesn't, manny still gets the salary increase.

Floyd's income if the fight should happen isn't just as a fighter, but as the lead promoter. Manny can't expect to the same money becuase his deal with TR isn't similar to floyd's deal. I think floyd should either give Manny some ppv revenue or gurantee manny $50 mil, which is just about double his highest ever payday.

But at some point, Manny, nor his fans, should not keep expecting him to be treated differently then any other opponent.

how do you know its 28 mil? have you seen his bank statement?

its what this fight is worth. thats what matters. and its worth alot more than 40 mil. you know that, you have said its a **** offer yourself.

I completely agree, at this point Manny does not deserve anywhere near 50/50.
