    Honestly Floyd is well known in the states but lets not get carried away. He's not that popular...neither is PAC. I say only a slight edge in popularity here in the US is in favor of Floyd but that is only b/c of "Dancing with the stars".,:lol: Floyd in a AT&T comercial is on level with PAC doing a NIKE commercial. No different. Both men are semi popular in the US but no anywhere close to a DLH or Mike Tyson of boxing.

    If you could read you would see what I was talking about. I"m not going to repeat it for you, because then you wouldn't learn. If Floyd wins a split decision? WTF are you talking about. Floyd is the main draw for this fight and because of that he deserves more of a share than Manny.

    Yeah boxing is a global sport, but the biggest money is in the US. Most Americans don't know Pac, casual boxing fans know Pacman, but everyone else don't know him from anyone else. Every American knows Floyd, either from Dancing with the Stars, WWE, and now AT&T commercials. LIke I said before the big draw in this fight is going to be Floyd.

    True.....but most Americans dont really know Floyd Jr either. They remember a "Black" guy that did "ok" dancing with bigger, more popular stars on the hit TV show a year ago. He's not as popular as you are trying to give him credit.

    manny is known and loved by more americans than floyd i don't see floyd getting that percentage over manny but thats what he'll shoot for and that can be why that fight won't happen cause floyd will try to value himself too much

    The bottom line is this fight may not happen for sometime because of the money issue. Floyd has to come off his demands and Arum and Manny have to do what it takes to make this fight happen.

    It should be a 50-50 split or a 60 % to the winner and 40 % to the loser.

    Either way, its in The Pacquiao's camps best interest to make the fight happen if they want to be the legit #1 because as long as Floyd is out there, the verdict will be split until either Mayweather loses or they get it on.

    seems like it should be 50/50 to me.

    Not for me, Pac is #1, he's done significantly better than Mayweather against both Hatton and Oscar despite being the "smaller man" moving up.

    Roach already has Cotto and Mosley in his sights....and already said Mosley would be his preferred opposition for Pac.....Only problem would be the weight....both Cotto and Mosley need to make 144... Roach wouldn't mind Maywether although he's already said he thinks Mayweather is dogding them as he could've waited a day and then done a deal for Pac (although I don't agree with that point)....Roach also said Flloyd will be asking for too big a cut of the purse.....so more likely that Pac will fight Cotto in november....especially as Cotto is under Arum as well.....biggest problem would be making 144 weight

    Why do you even give a ****?

    Don't you just want to see PBF fight Pac, regardless of who get's what percentage of the split?

    I love the way the PBF fanboys all start getting their calculators out every time it looks like PBF might actually fight a credible opponent.

    Why you clowns even bother about PBF's bank balance makes me shake my head in wonder and disbelief - he ain't gonna be giving any of it to you, in fact, you're gonna have to pay to watch it!

    No **** right,

    I would say one of these dudes is Floyd but they are all the same. Maybe they are all Floyd and he has about 10-15 aliases

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Oh dear...

    Manny just beat ODLH and Hatton far more comprehensively than PBF ever did.

    How does that fit in with your nuthugger's logic?

    This is ridiculous. A bunch of guys on ESB does not mean a huge ppv audience. People will tune in for Pac not Mayweather. All of you guys will see during the Marquez fight exactly how big of a draw Mayweather is when he isn't tapping into Hoya's, Hatton's, Pac's fanbase.
