When de la Hoya fought mayweather de la.hoya was already one of the highest grossing ppv stars ever and Floyd only had 3 ppv fights that each sold.less than 400k and Floyd got half the money that Oscar did. Oscar made 50 mill Floyd 25. Now Floyd is treating Manny like Manny is in Floyds position vs Oscar, but there's only one problem. Manny is the second highest grossing ppv star ever who is just right behind Floyd in buys and gross. Floyd only averages about 20 percent more ppv buys than Manny so why does he deserve 200 percent more of the money which is basically what he would make if Manny accepted his lowball offer of 40 million. Since he only sells 20 percent more that would mean a fair split is 55/45 which is actually more than 20 percent. 60/40 would mean hes sold 1.5 times that of Manny but he hasn't so even that's a lowball offer yet Manny has said he would already accept that. Also ShowTime and HBO said they would work together yet Floyd is saying it has to be on ShowTime. For what reason? Its only another roadblock. He is going to try to wiggle his wife beating self out of this fight I guarantee it and then will come up with a bogus excuse like Manny wouldn't accept 35 million and that's more than he's ever made! Meanwhile he would be making 90 million and it would be the biggest lowball offer in history and Floyd walked away from 60/40 which is more than Floyd deserves. Hes going to prove himself out, typical al haymon fighter moveComment

Overseas events sell between 30-50% less than similar US based events. This is well documented in both boxing and mma and even wrestling.
If you want to know each fighters actually current drawing power and not just be a fanboy then you have to compare their most recent fights with the least variables and that Maidana 2 and Bradley 2.
If Floyd is twice the draw explain why those fights did similar numbers ? Is Bradley twice the draw Maidana is ? It doesn't make sense.Comment

Your logic is flawed here's why, you are not choosing the least variables . what you are doing is eliminating one major variable in support of your argument.
Using your theory let's go with your numbers. Pac's last fight is reported as selling anywhere from 350k to 450k, so to be generous and for the sake of argument let's say 400k, Mayweathers last fight with Maidana was reported at 925k, you say there is a loss of 30-50% over seas well okay let's break even and say 40% if Pac had fought in the U.S.. now if you do the math Pac still sells 40% less then Mayweather.
So ultimately it is your argument that sounds fanboy-ish. Good attempt to rescue the sinking ship, looks like you can't dump out water faster then its coming in.Comment

Apart from the location, Maidana is much better known, Algieri lives with his parents and was basically unheard of. Maidana was also a rematch of a competitive and controversial fight.
Now how you account for those variables is anybody's guess it's a much better aproach to call it an outlier And discard it.
The Bradley 2 fight is very similar circumstances. It's an easy comparison without having to guess any adjustments.Comment

THIS IS WHY I HATE TALKING TO PACTCRAPS AND FLOMCRAPS ALL YOU GET IS dumb responses with these nutjobs with agenda's money talks and all this b-side is bullcrap with out Pac no 2mil PPV will happen but like I said in the end of the day Mayweather needs Pac not the other why around. Its Mayweather lost he is still playing checkers while Bob Arum is playing chessComment

You need take 40% from the original expected number not the final total, regardless comparing Algieri to maidana 2 has too many variables too be a valid comparison.
