    8CN- It appears that Floyd wants a 60-40 split... Holyfield cuts in

    EH- I don't think that's going to work. It's NOT FLOYD THAT WILL BRING THE CROWD. What makes this fight bigger than life is the good thing and bad thing. When people see Pacquiao, they look at him as the good guy, they want to see him Win Morally. These are the people that don't like Mayweather, so what make this fight big is the ultimate good and evil. It is Surprisingly that two small guys like that can bring it out. It Only Happens ONCE in a WHILE. Pacquiao has a big Crowd people that wants to see him win because of his Good Atttitude. Whoever he fights, he Gives it his All. He's Not going to go there and just put on a show that's not productive. I DON'T THINK THAT
    60-40 IS GOING TO WORK.

    Sounds as confused and nonsensical as most of his recent interviews.

    Duh.....

    Villains never draw without a believable good guy opposite them.

    Watch ric flair in his prime. He would never draw a crowd vs a chump or another bad guy.

    the shots to the head have finally gotten to Holyfield. though I am not sure I would want him in my corner if I was Manny, especially with his **** surrounding PEDs.

    Part of what Holyfeild is saying is right, this fight is the good vs the bad, but if he thinks it's Manny who's making most of the fans tune in he's sadly mistaken. Floyd has already proven that he's the cash cow, although together there making the biggest purse in boxing history, alone Floyd numbers does much better then Pacs. One of the reasons so many people are tuning in is to see Mayweather loose for the frist time.

    True.

    It's like Neo and Agent Smith.

    '+' and a '-'.

    Both cancel each other out.

    Both need each other.

    50/50 is the only fair way.

    anyone will rightfully see this fight as 50-50 or the other one is plainly pricing himself out especially if they have settled the split before.

    I agree on everything apart from him suggesting the crowd are going to turn up and watch solely on the basis of seeing Pacquiao.
    Pacquiao will bring the majority of the casual fans.
    Mayweather in my opinion will bring a lot more of the hardcore fans...whether they want to see him win or lose.
    And the rest of the tickets/PPV buys will be made up of the bout itself...some people will have no interest in either boxer, but this bout is that huge...
