    How the **** is $40m only 25 percent? Its RISKLESS guaranteed money whereas Floyd has to invest in the fight. Obviously the investor should get a bigger return because he is open to risk and opportunity costs...Makes zero sense for PAC to make 50 percent considering he is too broke to finance a portion of the fight.

    55/45 is the max Floyd should demand, but Floyd wont accept that I doubt he would even accept 60/40.

    Then let the promoters do the promoting...unless that's another one of Floyd's roadblock, that he alone assumes control of the promotion. Ya know, it's great Floyd has his business model that he's so proud of, it doesn't mean the other PPV star in the boxing world has to ****ing go along with it.

    Why would the promoters do the "promoting" when Floyd can do it himself and make more money?? That a useless argument and calling it a "roadblock" is ridiculous. Pac has to go along with it because he doesn't have enough money to do the same thing that's why. You know this is the world right? People have more money than others and thus are privy to more opportunity.

    Its just Arum wants to co-promote the event and is not happy with simply taking commissions...that is the problem. You better believe that Pacquiao is VERY happy with 40 million guaranteed.

    He has a promoter he's contractually obligated to who does it for him....and you're missing the point. Floyd can't dictate his business model to Pacquiao for the simple fact Pac's a big enough name not to bend over to a business model that sells him short....and a proposal that would potentially lose him 10's of millions. And back to that contractually obligated promoter....you can't set ultimatums and say you want his promoter out for the simple fact that HE IS CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED.

    Pacquiao should be lucky that a fight with him is even being entertained by Floyd Mayweather. Pacquiao is a dog looking for a bone. He's making pennies and peanuts for his fights. Floyd was going to give Manny a 50/50 for their fight that was announced. Floyd signed and it was on. It got announced but Manny refused to sign. Floyd was going to give him the 50/50 even though his fight with Oscar was carried by Oscar and it did nowhere near 2.5 million homes. He pissed the 50/50 away by refusing a drug test. **** him! 40 million! Take it or leave it.

    Explain how 50/50 or 45-45-10 to winner is fair?

    Lets look at the numbers....

    Floyd Mayweather makes 53-55 million with Cotto.

    Manny makes a career high of 20 million with his ppv.

    So with a 45-45-10 to winner...Floyd can't even top his career high payday.

    The fight does 100 million dollars for the fighter share's...means they'll split 100 million.

    Oscar and Floyd split 79 million...Floyd got 26 million and Oscar made 53 million.

    The fight does 3.0 million buys...De La Hoya Mayweather did 2.4 million buys.

    Let's assume Floyd says "ok 50/50." Well now Floyd makes 3 million less than he did with Cotto and Pac MORE THAN DOBULES his highest payday.

    Let's assume Floyd takes a "45-45-10 to the winner." Well if Floyd wins, he makes 2 million more than he did with Cotto, while Pacquioa more than doubles his high payday of 20 million.

    Now let's assume Floyd takes a "60/40 to the winner." Pac would be guaranteed to double his highest payday (including PPV profits) while Floyd would only make 7 million more than he did with Cotto if he won, and would take a 13 million dollar paycut if he lost.

    These are not fair deals...one guy gets to guarantee double his split OR MORE while another fighter only gets to make 7 million more than his high payday.

    Any *******s care to explain "WHY" this would be a fair deal?

    Maybe you guys should negotiate for Floyd seeing as how your so concerned about his finances.

    The fight generates $100,000,000 split.....maybe a littl less, maybe a little more...3.0 million buys is what is projected..

    At 2.4 million buys, Oscar and Floyd split 59 million..I believe Floyd received 26.2 million (higher than any of Pacquiao's highest paydays btw) while Oscar was a PPV beast (still could probably do 1,000,000 or more if he came back as the casual fan enjoys Oscar) and made 52.8 million....

    So at 3.0 million buys, we can logically assume that they would split about 100,000,000 dollars.

    He should take the 40 mill. That's the best he can do. He is not in no position to dictate terms.

    The finances are irrelevant..why don't you man your ***** ass up and explain how those 3 scenario's, which is what you ignorant *******s claim is fair, are fair for Floyd?

    I can tell you what's fair...Manny accepting a career high $40,000,000 (DOUBLING HIS HIGHEST PAYDAY), while Floyd gets the remaining share which would be anywhere from $53,000,000 (matching Floyd's career high already) to no more than $65,000,000 (beating Floyd's career high by $12,000,000)..mean time Manny still doubles his career high.

    Has ZERO to do with Floyd's finances stupid ass.:deal
