60-40 split is a bargain tactic to force Pac to take the drug test. If Pac agrees with the testing then Floyd will take 50-50. It's like arguing with an insurance company.
Mayweather doesnt really care about the testing. He cares about dominating his opponents psychologically. He knows that drug testing is an issue with Pacquiao so he goes for it and forces Pacquiao into submission. Why do you think Floyd thrash talks? To hype up the fights, sure, but also to diminish his opponents in the mental department. Look what happened to Margarito when he faced Mosley after the plaster affair... he lost that fight before it happened.
Then you would have to really conclude that Pac is not interested in the fight. Even at a 60/40 split, Pac would make double what he would for any other fight. Mayweather also just had a megafight with a bigger live gate and PPV number than any fight that Pacquiao has ever been involved in.
-fight should be 50/50 - drug testing 24 days - **** the wbo title - glove size, negational - fight vegas ( although i don't get why it always has to be vegas, just so that big gamblers can come, or floyd can use the **** he shoots up his hands. - him coming out last, kind of childish just like the no i don't want to go! wheres my circus act! make em wait. but if he wants to go last go last. And finally fight already!
I don't see the problem with Mayweather getting the bigger share of the purse as long as it's not too one sided, there shouldn't be any doubt that Floyd brings more money to the pot in regards to ppv sales so I don't see a problem with him taking more out.
i have no problems with floyd's other demands. floyd fights in vegas, we all know that, and so did pacquiao until the drugs thing came up, and then they wanted dallas. the problem i have is the 60-40. it should be 50-50.
Pac says he dont care about money and fights for the fans. If that truly is the case he shouldn't have no problem letting a guy who is all about money get the bigger split. But we all know how pac feels about money, he is as greedy as the next guy just ask ricky hatton.
