    Floyd is $alivating at the idea of this matchup. Interesting that Lampley said during the broadcast that it appears the numbers for Cotto/Pac were in excess of PBF/Marquez. If true, Floyd had better take heed at the negotiating table, because there's a new Sheriff in town, his name is Manny, and Floyd needs him more than he needs Floyd.

    still showing repeats so the final figure won't be here for a while. they fully expect over a million buys tho.

    50-50 is a fair split. they are the top two fighters in the world and deserve mutual respect!

    Will Mayweather Sr. be on the corner of PBF? What do you guys think?

    How will Floyd react if this fight was, in fact a better seller not only at the gate, but in PPV #s as well? I would love to see his response to a question like that. He would go off the deep end, I'm sure!

    :lol

    To be honest I expected this fight to do more ppv buys that PBF v JMM as this was always the more intriguing fight. Floyd could argue he drew a great number v JMM which was unexpected and like it or not his fight v Oscar drew over 2 mil.

    Just do a 50/50 deal. Both will earn huge amounts and we really dont need some arguments over purse dealings to stop this fight from happening.

    Pretty sure it was narrowly outsold by last week's Judah/ Casamayor card.

    Well, it's gonna happen w/ Floyd telling Shaefer to get started with negotiations. Both guys should just say 50/50 and get it done. I don't want to see the negotiations get drug out forever.

    They will both make so much more money on a 50/50 split than they'll make against anyone else. This will beat Oscar/Floyd, plus if Arum actually puts this fight in a huge stadium, imagine how much more they can make from ticket sales than what usually would come in?

    Considering the insane revenue this will make, they can afford an amazing undercard too. They can also do a worldwide press tour. Go to London, Manilla, Mexico City, ect. It'll be amazing!

    It should be 60-40 for the winner.

    I was going to state that Pacman has earned the right to get a 50/50 split with PBF.

    But that is a great Idea if they can't agree on 50/50. I don't see why they couldn't agree on a 50/50 split though. Even at 50/50 they both are probably going to make over 20mil
