so, does marquez deserve 30m for fighting pac?

[puga]

I meant if the fight were immediate rematches.

Why did Hatton get a 45% split vs. Pac the first time if he's not a huge draw?

becuase hatton was a huge draw himself and that pac was coming off his win againt hoya which was also his first 1 mill event... pac then was not as big of a draw as he is now ...

thats exactly what pac is going to do if marquez does'nt come back to his senses and change this 50/ 50 bull**** ... he'd still make more fighting anybody with him getting 80% of the split anyways than fighting jmm with an even split..

good luck to marquez getting paid more than 2 mil with anyone else...

Marquez seems to want to move on to a fight with Bradley which you are right. It's going to be for a lot less money but it is Pac who has to live with being knock out cold by Marquez. It will be Manny having to live with that for the rest of his life. If this fight does happen maybe they can agree to a 60/40 split for Pac.

[Capncrunch]

the figures are based on thier past purses and even if marquez was only talking about ppv , thats 90% of where the moneys is ....

No it's not. HBO takes half right off the top, then the promoter gets their cut, and the rest split to the fighters. The big money from the biggest fighters comes from their guarantees.

He should get 50% of whatever they can get from the promoter.

seem like that but im pretty sure when he realizes the money aint close to what he was getting with pac , he'll be back with a more reasonable demand imo ..unless, he aint for the money anymore, lol...

no you idiot , a gurantee is just that, a guarantee .. you know what pac's guantee was vs shane?... 6 mil ..you know what he ended up getting ?..around 4 times that ..

So Mosley was only guaranteed a million less? If you say so.
No need to call names either.

marquez deserves half because pacquiao best ppv are against marquez and in the last 2 fights it seems like marquez is the one who had the majority of the fans in the arena and lets not forget that marquez knocked pacquiao out

I don't get why this is hard to understand. Marquez has a fanbase.

I want to see how the haters somehow in their insane world justify this

lets point a few things out so they don't implode thinking too much

marquez wants the same amount of money pac will earn, his guarantee was 23-25m vs marquez last time out, he earned around 30m and will do so again due to his contract

now, lets be honest, how many ppv would marquez vs bradley do, you have a guy in bradley he could not even sell out a bloody stadium in a unification fight, no more than 200k if you are pushing it 250k

you are looking at around 15m in ppv buys, in which half goes to hbo

really he deserves 30m? you sit on your coach spouting rubbish and then stream his fights on the net to save money, yet you can somehow justify a guy who only got famous for drinking his piss on tv deserving 30 million?

marquez should take the 10 million and cement his legacy vs pac and stop ducking him, yes he probably thinks he was getting his ass whooped until the ko (which he was) but he has the same chances again as pac is shot

First of all, you are out of your mind if you think that Pacquaio was guaranteed or actually made 25 million against Marquez in his last fight. Pac's guarantee was $6.5 million. Anything else he received came from PPV revenue and there damn sure wasn't enough PPV buys to pay him $18 million. You need to stop buying the BS that Bob Arum feeds you Pac worshippers every time he fights.

Secondly, Marquez does deserve a 50-50 split against Pacquaio. He deserves a 50-50 split moreso than Pac deserved one against Mayweather. If they fight again, that means that each would earn between $10 and $12 million.

I don't mind JMM vs Bradley in Mexico.
