    Where did I've said he's "untalented"? Floyd got the best skills and talent among active boxers right now but I can't understand why Floyd with so much skills and talent can't deliver that extra performance inside the ring. Floyd most of the time is contented in cruising to a safety first decision victory.

    He's paid $10 million, $20 million per fight but his performance is just bland.

    Pacquiao and Floyd currently the #1 and #2 P4P boxers today. A fight between these 2 is a must see.

    To be honest I wish they would do a 50/50 split so the fight can be made ASAP. With that said I'm pointing out that PBF has earned the right to demand a 60/40 split based on PPV numbers that's all I'm saying.

    Of course Floyd wants more money. They both do. But eventually they'll go closer to 50/50. It's called negotiations. You always start high.

    And all the people comparing PPV numbers over the years. That's meaningless. It's not about how well you did before. It's how well you can do NOW, and judging by their last fights, they both do pretty well. They both stand to make record breaking numbers, no one is going home ripped off.

    fytelod im not even disputing the fact they are 1 and 2 p4p

    they do need to fight but if i was floyd and had slightly better numbers im not going to fight pac unless i am getting the bigger share as evidence by the ppv numbers in last 4 fights


    even if pac is more exciting which i believe he is. floyd offered great entertainemnt its almost like watching a play lol

    if pac shot his mouth off like floyd he wud b the biggest draw but unfortunately for him he doesnt

    i rest my case

    When pac did more ppv buys with cotto, than floyd vs marquez, Manny didn't mind the 50/50. :?

    PPV buy is the major determining factor but the problem is Floyd not really established as the CLEAR bigger draw than Pacquiao. Floyd is not like Dela Hoya in terms of drawing power.

    Floyd accepted a 35% purse split against Dela Hoya.

    Pacquiao accepted a 38% purse split against Dela Hoya.

    Here Dela Hoya is the CLEAR bigger PPV draw.

    Floyd realistically deserves at least a 55/45 split, or a 50/50 split and a bigger share of the PPV proceeds. Floyd is the bigger draw...numbers don't lie in this case. Nevertheless, in a fight of this magnitude with both guys being huge draws in their own right and considering the amount of money to be made, 50/50 is a fair enough number.
