    Pac has to ask himself the same question.

    What i do know, is when it comes to this fight, Floyd is in the driver's seat. Manny and Bob better except it or forget about this fight being made.:blood

    Ones pound 4 pound the best in the sport and makes the most out of any other in the sport. With that being said, all of you saying he should go 50-50 know damn well if you were in his shoes that you sure as hell wouldnt do 50-50. If you say any different, you're lying out your devil ass.

    and if you are pac and is generating roughly the same PPV buys for the last few years, why would you accept an offer that does not give you a share of the PPV?

    again this fight is big not because of floyd alone. 50/50 is fair for a fight of this magnitude. *****s before are ok with it. they are just changing their minds now because floyd changed his stance regarding the split.

    The fact that you think no one is in the driver's seat, just lets me know how out of touch you are with the circumstances surrounding this fight.:patsch

    Maybe you should take your emotions out of the equation.

    Or maybe you should take floyd's nuts out of your mouth. floyd thinking he is in the driver's seat have made this fight hard to make. 50/50 and let this fight get made.

    So Floyd is the best fighter in boxing, would be favoured over Pac in the fight, is the champion in the division, earns more per fight, has the two highest PPV fights of all-time...

    But Pac should get 50/50? :lol: :lol: Epic ******* logic.

    But Pac has the better Legacy was Voted fighter of the decade. Has beaten more Hall of Famers. Like ive said to all the Floyd fans a fight like this should be or close to 50/50.

    **** Hagler vs Leonard was split Hagler 12 million and Sugar Ray 11 million. Because Marvin was the belt holder.

    Now if Floyd wants a extra 5 million in this fight due to inflation i understand that.

    But seeing how this fight could be the biggest revenue getter of all time do you as seeing these are the two best fighters in the game and due to Legacy and resume Pac is far superior. Do you feel it is fair for Floyd to get $80 million why he only offered $40 million.

    **** no be reasonable and use the Hagler vs Leonard fight as proof.

    How is that judged?

    Floyd only JUST pipped Pacquiao as the P4P #1 boxer on the Ring magazine P4P list.

    Are you saying Pacquiao is not part of the draw - that more than 50 percent of the people buying the fight are fans of Floyd?

    50-50 is MORE than fair to both men who are already rich enough for 5 lifetimes.

    No but his team needs to get off of that 50/50 stance and actually negotiate a fair deal.

    How is what judged? The numbers don't lie, Floyd holds the record for the 2 highest grossing non-heavy fights.

    Arum needs to let GBP sit down with him and negotiate a fair deal. 60/40 or 55-45 for Floyd would be more than fair to Pac.

    Let's look at the last HBO PPV, Cotto-Mayweather. It sold 1.5M, made $106M revenue from PPV/Gate. Both sides reportedly split 65-70% of that (Cotto $20M+, Floyd $50M+).

    On those numbers, if Pac-Mayweather does 3M buys it will generate atleast $210M in PPV/Gate, and maybe another $15-30M if they raise the PPV price to $65-70. And there definately will be alot more money generated from other revenue streams like sponsorship/endorsement money, international PPV. There'd be probably atleast $150M to split between them if it does 3M buys

    $40M and no PPV is a disgraceful offer.

    One way $40M might be close to fair while satisfying Mayweather's ****ed up ego is if Pac gets a 50-50 split on say every PPV over 1.5M. That way he gets rewarded as he should for the PPV breaking records and Floyd doesn't have to worry about Pac taking any PPV money from those he believes are his.

    Only problem is nobody even said this. Cotto is getting $20 million guaranteed AND some PPV revenue. Why in the hell would Pac get less?

    Right, that is because it serves Pacfraud's and Arum's ducking purposes to say that BS. Now why would a grown man like you repeat the lies of another man?

    See the insults confirm you are too emotionally invested.:fire

    You need to be more objective. No way Pac gets half. Arum and his team need to recognize this fact and really start negotiating to make this fight happen.
