Miguel cotto is the 3rd biggest draw in boxing after may n pac.
His last 2 fights were not ppv. You talking about 2011 when he fought margarito? Ya well manny had a good ppv 2011 to even better than cotto. U make no sense. Wtf u smokingComment

How the hell did you have the time to calculate and write this bulls*t up?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 realityComment

Thats a heck of an argument. I was with you percentage wise before I heard about these new numbers, that changes the ball game, even more so then it was, as you point out.few years ago it should have been a 50/50 split, but those days are long gone..
Manny should just ask for that 40 mil flat fee, because he isnt getting anywhere near a 50/50 split now.
IMO a 70/30 or 65/35 would be reasonable, an 80/20 split is crazy if you manny because floyd is fresh out of any big name opponents, he already fought oscar, shane, cotto, canelo, jmm. Manny is the only big name left. Guys like khan, garcia, broner, ortiz 2, etc arent going to bring blockbuster ppv numbers and they will be lucky to do 1.2 mil with those guys.
Manny is the only dude left that floyd could fight that will bring 2 mil plus ppv buys. The talked about hopkins-floyd at 160 is about the only fight that would do 1.5 mil roughly like floyd vs shane, cotto did..
This fight will never get done because floyd wont do business with arum for whatever reason..
And if im manny, i wouldnt accept anything less than 30% because floyd has no other blockbuster options, so i would hold out,,,, but i highly doubt this fight ever gets madeComment
