    To be honest it is not that hard to tally up a total. Only when they don't want to release the numbers is it an issue.

    I think the fact that the guarantees are going to be so high for each fighter that the % they are fighting over isn't going to be that high. If Mayweather gives himself 50mil guaranteed and Pac gets 40mil guaranteed thats 90mil in guaranteed money. Mayweather and Cotto the guaranteed money was 40mil combined. Mayweather earns around 20mil more then Pac on each fight. And he would probably earn 20mil more then Pac if they fight.

    Dude really???
    Clottey? a black guy from africa who is notoriously boring and barely speaks english?? He couldnt draw flies to ****...and certainly never came off a fight of the year like ortiz did. I love how you keep ignoring that was a loaded card for mexican buyers with ortiz, morales, and Canelo on there.

    ask williams and ortiz what exactly? Neither can draw flies to **** either! Mayweather is the only black fighter that can draw. Williams is good for nothing as far as money, and martinez for all his qualities (and they are many) cannot speak english (doesnt hurt too much if your mexican...hurts when you are anything else.)

    god i love you trying to compare ortiz and clottey as drawing competition in any respect. Suuuuure clottey appeals to the base like ortiz does.

    lol...Floyd is up 4-1...Pac does not make that much money for his fights...Floyd makes more than 4 times the guarantee Pac makes.

    So giving him 7 million plus a split of PPV would be a better offer? Is that not what he currently gets? Usually gets what 20 million...minus what Arum has fronted him, minus whatever other fees and added costs Arum may throw in, what does he get exactly? Pretty clear to see it's not close to 40 million, do you believe his "PPV cut" will be more than 33 million, if not nothing to ***** about, if you do think so then perhaps you could do the math and show me how.

    60-40 to the winner is stupid...100 million on the table...Floyd makes 40 plus million without Manny.

    Manny makes 20-25 million without Floyd...So Manny gets a guaranteed raise, while Floyd would make only 5-10 million more if he won..and take a huge paycut if he lost..

    Pac should take the 40 million...He more than doubles his highest payday...Floyd would only make 5-10 million more than he did for Cotto...

    Pac using the money to duck Floyd now.

    Pac should take the 40 mil if the fight ends up generating around 100mil. That equates to about 1.5 ppv buys. Now I'm no actuary, but something tells me this fight would do alot more than 1.5. Are you seeing the logic here? You're working under the logical fallacy that past purses is what determines the split. It's not...if Pac is responsible for let's say 48% of that potential pile of money than he is right to say, I want 48% of that pile. If that pile ends up being 50mil more, for example, then that's **** is just highway robbery if Pac agreed to Floyd's flat fee. Simple logic here, and how it gets lost among you Floyd apologists is beyond me. And Floyd ****ing knows this too...and I'm starting to believe he really is ducking Pac by insisting on his ridiculous offer.

    Do you have any evidence for the claim that Ortiz actually can draw anywhere? If not the comparison to Clottey is more justified than one is to Margarito, the latter of whom is in fact a proven draw with a proven fan base. Simply yelling "Fight of the year contender!" again and again does not mean a significant number of people gives a **** about you, even if you do speak English.
