Floyd should offer him a 2 fight deal which I believe he did and Freddie Roach confirmed it (65/35 split for Floyd), and if he wins the next fight he get 10%-15% more (75/25 if he wins by decision, 80/20 if he wins by KO). If Manny wins then offer him 20%-25% more for the second fight (55/45 if he wins by decision, 60/40 if he wins by KO). Everybody wins here, the fans get 2 fights, Floyd gets his Money, Manny gets a chance to make more money in a rematch.
If they just do 1 fight then I don't see Floyd offering him anything less than a 70/30 split based on his recent PPV numbers. Floyd has a plan B (Cotto, Khan, Garcia, etc). Arum already said Jessie Vargas is Manny's plan B (why does he keep getting a pass for fights like this when guys like Garcia, Miadana, and Broner are out there and all fought on PPV). Even Brook would be a respectable opponent but he never fights non Top Rank fighters, and that is why his PPV numbers suck.
