    Those are terrible numbers. Who in their right mind would keep fighting for only 40 million per fight?

    Good numbers, but I expected something close to 2mil. I think Floyd and his camp did as well.

    The real question is how will this affect the split between Floyd/Manny?

    I could see this being something that has to be reworked.
