    I personal rather see Floyd v Serg or GGG which would outsell Pac v everyone but JMM (maybe they both could).

    Pac JMM would sell, no one wants to see Pac v Bradley or Cotto (that wont happen unless at 154) Prov has only a hard core following. So Pacs options are just as limited (especially with TR having a smaller stable).

    They will both make record breaking money, and they need each other for that. For that reason alone, it should be 50-50, because Floyd needs Pac just as much as Pac needs Floyd to cash in huge dollar bills. However its true that Floyd is the bigger star at the moment, but honestly, not that much, not enough to warrant a bigger share than 60%.

    I really think the fight will break 4mil ppv buys, both are huge stars and when they come together, their selling power will go up exponentially.

    If you think Floyd would rather fight Serg/GGG for less money then you be smokin crack. Risk/reward ratio, both guys are undoubtedly worse in that department than Pac.

    Those two fights won't happen. Why do people keep insisting that they will when both fighters are trained by Roach?

    If the money is right, it will happen. You don't think if Provodnikov was offered 10mil like Roach said, he couldn't put aside his friendship with Pac for 30 min? He'll get a different trainer for the fight, its been done before. Before that though, I think TR will build Prov with more wins and Pac can go after Bradley/JMM first.

    Pac deserves 20%. He isn't ****.

    Last fight he made 18m guaranteed and we still aren't sure what he made in total. Floyd made 41.5 million guaranteed against Canelo and we aren't sure what he made in total.

    His star power is draining faster than an hourglass.

    He doesn't make the same kind of money Floyd does. Not even close. Why in the hell would he deserve 50% or even close to that. He deserves 30 million tops and a Mars bar, nothing more.

    He made more money fighting Guerrero FFS!

    Pac will make around 18mil guaranteed untaxed vs Rios. Floyd made 32mil against Guerrero, with 40% tax. Work it out.

    meh, I think he beats all three. SO the risk is the same in the equation. it is only an option that I would prefer to see. As for Pac he just lost to JMM and fighting him again would be more risk with less reward as well. that is one of the options you listed . . . are you smoking crack?

    41.5 million guaranteed vs Canelo, work it out. :good

    And it's not untaxed. Learn tax laws in Macau. He still has to pay upwards to 13-15% in taxes.

    Pac is obviously willing to take the risk of fighting JMM, he's already done it 4 times so thats irrelevant. Floyd obviously cares a lot about his risk/reward ratio, and he will never fight GGG or Sergio in a million years.

    Floyd should accept a 60 - 40, even a 50 - 50. He calls himself a businessman, then you have to think its better to get the fight agreed to, rather than miss the huge potential.

    So how many Canelo's are there? Canelo was being hyped as the next ODLH, he's already cashed that cheque.

    Pac wanted to drain Martinez to 147 lb and issue a clause where Martinez can't weigh over 150 lb on fight night. :rofl:rofl:nut
