    Instead of just bitching over who gets the most why don't they just split it 60/40 to the winner and 50/50 for a draw then that willl show who deserves the extra cut.

    that would put too much pressure on the officiating and the judging.

    can you imagine that a single close round scored one way or the other could end up making a 10million dollar difference for each fighter?

    Can not do that. Winning on points is the same merit as winning by KO.

    too much pressure on the ref to let the fight go instead of stopping it if one of the fighters is taking a beating.

    too much controversy involved. Just negotiate a fixed purse in advance and then focus on the fight.

    I think if some special ops team were to say, kidnap Buboy and Ellerbe and threaten to make them fight to the death this **** might get resolved within minutes.

    the ref has nothing to do with the purse split. he just referees the bout as he normally would.

    yea but if a fighter is getting beat up in the 12th, and there's 20 seconds left in the round. We're talking 20% of the purse which could represent up to 20 million dollars here.

    it also opens the door for bribes and such

    50-50 it should be. if mayweather wants a bigger purse then 45-55 it is but beyond that, i dont think pac would accept. just my opinion though.

    Will probably just get made at 50/50.
