    It's up to Arum to make it happen now. 50/50 split is fair.

    Explain

    Floyd makes much more than him

    Has way better PPV #'s

    Pacquiao 2 losses in his last 4 fights (JMM 3/JMM 4)

    70-30 is fair

    70-30 is fine.

    Floyd made 80 million with Canelo according to Forbes. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2013/09/19/floyd-mayweather-will-earn-more-than-80-million-for-record-breaking-fight/

    Floyd would walk away with about 120 million with Pac, and Pac would walk away with at least 60 million. After PPVs.

    Im a fan of Floyd as you all know, but Pac not getting ANY PPV Money is Bull****. He should get a good share just not the lions share.

    Pac is getting 18 million for Rios, and he still has to give Arum his cut.

    Floyd takes a promoters cut, and the fighters cut. Which is why he'll walk away with more.

    Pac walking away with 60 million is more than enough. If not, he should walk.

    No I'm not.

    Were the judges in the Tito/Oscar fight incompetent? Nope. It's obvious they were bought out by King

    Anyways, if that is the last fight for both fighters, there's going to be much less incentive to rig the fights by the promoters. Why? Because there's no reason to do so. They won't be fighting anymore.

    But if you add a prize for the winner of the bout (Upwards to 20-30 million), there's going to be corruption for sure.

    latest demand was pac has to sign with TMT before floyd even considers fighting him.

    translation "i don't want the fight, my health comes first."

    how can 50/50 be fair? wasn't floyd guaranteed $42M ?? pacman $18m?? + floyds ppv was 2.2m no idea what mannys was, i guess shimming will have pushed that to a fairly decent number. Not forgetting the 30% pac then has to pay bob... the $40m floyd offered was actually a good deal. He didn't want arum involved and would be promoting so all he was saying is he'd take the 30% promoters fee too..

    dude...PPV in the Philippines cost me $1 to order. That's not going to hold much weight in the grand scheme of things when you consider we're paying $70 for it here in the US. Not to mention, channel 2 or 7 in the Philippines broadcasts the fight albeit with a TON of commercials. Lastly, a lot go to the movies to watch the fights (I watched the Hatton and DLH fights at an SM).

    AFAIK, sky broadcasts the PPV fights for free to their subscribers...

    Finally a reasonable answer to my original question. This is actually roughly what I was thinking as well or MAYBE 65-35%. I also wanted to flush out peoples thoughts on the flat rate or % . . . most people tend to talk in terms of % so I think most think that is the most likely.
