Marquez: Should he get AT LEAST 50/50 for a 5th Pacquaio fight?

[BuckToothed]

I think alot of posters here will be loved in the boxing game...
You can beat someone 4 times and still take less money??? I would love to get in on that action.

It happened to Mosley and BHop...

70 Marquez -30 Pacquiao

Marquez is in the hot seat but this time his special Scientist should not be used to condition him so that he is miraculously the Incredible Hulk with superior punching power at 30+ years this late in his career...

youre right the 1. 4 being the 3rd fight ... it is releventa when your usuing the TOTAL ppv sales.. coz thats not the money that pac and jmm would be splitting , only a portion of that...



ofcourse.. name me a fight in which the clear bigger draw got less because he was fighting a champion...

It's not relevant when comparing PPV numbers because the percentage taken would be the same. It's not hard to understand, why are you having such difficulty?

Any fight where the bigger draw was a mandatory, Holyfield-Tyson for example, Tyson was a bigger draw but Holyfield had the larger purse split.

Buster Douglas made $24 million and Holyfield made 8 (75/25), Holyfield was a bigger draw.

It would be nice if boxing worked that way but it doesn't. Pacquiao is a much, much bigger draw than JMM. If Marquez goes and does 500k plus with Bradley then he'll have a negotiating position.

it's not relevnat when comparing ppvs numbers ONLY but thats not what we are doing here , we are trying to justify whether or not not jmm deserves 50/50 split...you cant use the ppv total , you can only use the the money being splitted between the 2....

thats just one fight (you said ususally)and holyfield was a very good draw himself...not to mention the difference was not so much bigger...

for real .. people who are saying jmm should get 50/50 are using their hearts and not their brains....

Buster Douglas got a 75/25 split with Holyfield. If HBO take 50% for both PPV it becomes irrelevant to any discussion because the percentage is the same. Almost every title fight is 72/25, that counts as "usually".

In terms of seats, when Manny is matched with Marquez, the majority are pro Marquez.

buster douglas was just coming off his ko win over mike tyson while hollfield was just making cruiserweight money.. you said "usually but the only examples you have are from a long time ago and pretty self explanatory why they got the bigger cut...

[Jloro]

lol they should both have a ppv the same day to see how each does than just do that as a split. I personally think Marquez deserves atleast 50/50.
He just Ko'ed him after all lol Marquez doesn't need this fight Pacquiao does.

And this is from a Pacquiao fan
