and that is being generous. Manny is actually only entitled to 15 % if you look at the revenue breakdown. He should get a flat 25 million or a minute percentage. 500,000 buys is proof positive that Manny's star power is on its downhill. He has fallen off a bit as a fighter, but who knew the public was done with him? Not me. They spent 30 million on the show, and whatever other overhead, for 500,000 buys?? Thats waterworld status. Thats an investment going belly up. Chris M. can make all the excuses he wants, its an indictment on Manny that his show performed that poorly. It was less expensive, and in his backyard. Manny is broke, tax problems, and Bob Arum have him in a bad place, arum knows it, which is why he wants Floyd now, he wants to cash out while its still possible. 500,000 buys??? Chavez Jr can do 500,000 buys. Manny might not even deserve the fight at this point. Top rank, Thomas Hauser, everyone can make all the excuses they want, they can blame floyd, they can whine he is ducking the fight, but all floyd has to do is point to 500,000 buys. For Floyd, Manny is just another fighter now. When is the last time Floyd did 500,000 buys? This fight can happen, but Manny will have to humble himself, and French kiss reality
80/20 split for Floyd.

I don't agree, but it's difficult to make an argument against khan from a financial point of view if Manny can only manage numbers like thisComment

Manny was supposed to make 30 million??? It's more like 23 if these numbers are accurate. Manny is better off with JMM at this point. He needs to get that buy rate up. This is embarrassing, esp when attempting to make an event with the richest fighter in the sportComment

you're right. manny isn't even a draw. he hasn't proved himself as a big attraction in the sport. Amir Khan is the real#2 cash cow.Comment
