Floyd's 50% wouldn't necessarily be equal to Pac's 50% anyway, in the sense that Floyd would keep more of the profits. So, it's actually Pac who needs the bigger split in order to make similar money, in that scenario. Floyd would probably make the same or possibly less money than he would normally make, getting an 80/20 split with the likes Ortiz, Mosley, etc. With that said, money may not be the (greatest) motivation (for Floyd) to make that fight, at this point.
When people negotiate, they only look at the gross figures that each party will be getting. It is up to each party to manage their expenses to leave as much net revenue as they can. 50-50 is good enough, regardless of how much Floyd and Pac will actually take home.
Didn't Clottey vs Pacman sold 600,000 when the fight was held at Texas Stadium. So *******s can't talk.
Considering the recent concerns Pac has had about what he is, actually, taking home from his fights, that may not be the case, at this point.
Again, it's up to each one of them. What matters is that there is an equitable sharing of the gross revenues.
Once again, this proves my point on *****s' penchant for using misleading figures. Way to deflate the numbers by 25%, man. :tired
What's all the arguing? lol. 1.15 if true is a very good number for the high price of the PPV. How/why are people comparing this to Pac/Mosley? Why wouldn't you compare the two fighters against the same fighter, since they were only a year apart. Ortiz has never been on PPV. Put things in perspective.
Actually that's much higher than what people were saying. Weren't people saying that it had done like 800k?
Yes...of course it is up to each of them. But, if Manny is the so-called top draw in the sport, why would he want to get paid less than the so-called second best draw in the sport? 50/50 is a facade if he knows he is making less. I wouldn't underestimate either fighter's ego, when it comes to money. Evidently, Manny has awakened to his own worth. Hence, the move to bring VisionQwest in to investigate (although that didn't last too long).
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT 1.15 WORKS OUT TO BE BUT Boxinginsider has it at 1 million 185 thousand with a estimated 4% margin of error.
