2010 - 50/50 OST - Turned down because of OST.

2010 - 50/50 OST cut off 14 days - Turned down because of OST.

2012 - 50/50 - Mayweather called Pacquiao out in January but the fight had to be in May because Mayweather was going to jail. Turned down because Pacquiao's cut supposedly wouldn't be healed after 6 months/ wasn't enough time to promote the fight/ Arum needed to build an outdoor arena.

2012 - 40 million - Turned Down because of purse.

2014 - 40 million + 35% PPV - Turned down because of ????.

Damn two thirds? Don't think he'll get that but wouldn't be surprised if he got closed to that.

Going from the supposed 2 million with Canelo to numbers not even being released while losing showtime money sounds like a bigger struggle.

Floyd will only fight Manny because hes chasing the payday.

Floyd does deserve 2/3 of the purse judging by their recent PPV numbers, doubt manny accepts that knowing how egotistical he is.

2 fights in Macau arouind 300k ppvs, vs dozens of fights in vegas from 800-1.5M ppvs. do you see a trend here? macau fights are no brainer non ppv income generating fights because they have other sources of income than the meager US market. Arum's explanation makes a lot of sense. Even Floyd only makes 800kppvs in vegas without a big dance partner. 2/3 you know smells like a price out from a chicken.

Floyd will probably reject the offer given to him by Moonves, this will all go away in a few weeks. i guess we can enjoy it now and fool ourselves of the possibility.

who is he going to fight then? I don't think Floyd is in any position to reject his employers. they were not fools to sign him for guaranteed money by just showing up against a walking dead man. I wouldn't be surprised to see Floyd hanging on a tree if the pac fight does not happen. corporate vendetta is a *****.

There is the actual article. Floyd seeking 66% of the revenue. I personally think 60/40 is fair.
