    sooo....you have already admitted that the 40 mil to pac would be 30% better (even using your pac-bias math) than any fight pac has had

    and we have floyd now showing he is the top dog $ wise by pulling in 60-70 mil from the cotto fight



    why would floyd take 50 mil (less then he has been making for several fights now)?


    and why would pac turn down 40 mil? a **** ton more then he makes?


    so, you think floyd should take considerably less then he is making already, so he can double up pac's paydays? 30% more isn't enough for pac?


    well, it doesn't matter...we need to wait for arum's new stadium anyway...did he get the paperwork pushed through the government yet?

    this.

    both should do what ali and frazer did in their first fight and halved the biggest purse of that time. this fight is big not because of one man alone. both of them makes this fight big. 50/50 is just fair for a fight of this magnitude and let's get it on.

    do your own HW



    if you want to play the "source" game, let's see pac's #s (something that is not a Bob Arum quote)

    Pacquaio puts more asses in seats?! He fights in much larger stadiums you ******s. Cowboys stadium bumps his figures up in a huge way.

    Mayweather's gate is higher per fight.

    Mayweather's PPV numbers are higher.


    E.G. Mayweather brings in more money.

    I know...he will link an ESPN bloq that is just taking a direct quote from Arum and say "See, it's ESPN!"


    That's why I don't bother with that game.

    so you're admitting now that floyd making 60-70M for the cotto fight is a data straight out of your ass?

    I am simply saying this split the purse 50/50 and the PPV revenue 50/50 if not then no fight and you cant call that ducking

    No, no winner gets more BS. Marquez just schooled Pac and he lost the decision. Same could happen to Floyd. Dumb idea

    it is ducking if you leave 40 mil on the table to fight for 25, especially after saying you would fight for less (i.e. not needing a 50/50 split)



    i wish floyd would just stfu and call arum's bluff on the 50/50 to end the bull****, because once he does, and arum tosses up more crap, it will be dead and buried, unlike now where there is still .01% chance of the fight getting made

    I used to quite like Pacquaio, then I came here and encountered his fans.

    So...what your saying is...Pac audience numbers aren't impressive because the venues are bigger? Strange logic my man. You don't see that as a sign of his popularity? That he is able to draw so well in a non traditional (well, of recent times in any event).

    I don't think anyone is arguing that FMJ makes less money, the argument, from most rational fans is that 50/50 is fair because they are ****ing acting like ******ed children.
