    Let's say Manny is out until mid-2016 with the injury/"injury" (whatever way you want to look at it)

    Floyd fights a relatively easy guy in September for a comfortable 49-0. Someone like Danny Garcia. After this, he's a free agent in terms of a TV network. A lot of people will want to see if he can break Rocky Marciano's record and go 50-0, so he can practically name his price to TV channels.

    Let's be real, Manny has had a phenomenal career, but it looks like his body might be starting to wind down. And the last thing any true fan would want is for him to go on too long like a Roy Jones or Tyson did. It's not good.

    They are without doubt the two fighters of this generation and their names will forever be linked. When you think of one of them, you can't help but think of the other. At least, that's just me.

    We all know how much of a mercenary Floyd is and how much the Filipino people mean to Manny. So, let's use this as the basis of a negotiation.

    No matter what way you look at it, a Pacquiao rematch will still make Floyd the most money. Definitely not as much as the first fight, but it will still rake in a large chunk of change.

    The split was 60-40 originally, so if Manny really thinks he can turn it around if fully fit, then he must be prepared to take even less. Would Floyd accept the following?

    Split: 80-20 in Floyd's favour, with same split for PPV buys worldwide.
    Same drug testing procedures as before. Surely, this would keep Floyd happy. He gets all the usual garbage like comes out second, introduced second, his name is first on promotional packages etc Anything that makes him the so called A-side.

    The only thing Manny really asks for is for the fight to be held in the Philippines. At the 55,000-seat Philippine Arena. A guaranteed sell out. World's largest indoor arena. All ticket proceeds go to a charity of each fighter's choosing. To give something back. Manny would no doubt throw caution to the wind more in front of his own fans. They both then retire, paving the way for the new generation.

    Floyd gets more than his fair share of cash and Manny bows out in the presence of the fans who he adores. There's nothing more for Floyd to be nervous about with regards Manny. He knows he can beat him and did so comfortably in the first fight, in my eyes (I had it 116-112).

    Is this all a fair compromise? Floyd gets his precious money. Manny gets the people. Realistic? Nonsense? Thoughts please guys!

    Nobody wants to see in the Phils. They can't even keep their power going. Macao would be a better choice than the Phils.

    Floyd will never fight outside vegas because of his xylocaine injections.
    100% will never happen.

    Floyd is not fighting outside of America, period. Floyd deep down would love to fight in England but is probably too scared he'll get robbed if it went to decision.

    They rake in 7X revenue of Las Vegas. Vegas is small time now.

    Floyd could show them a real international star. Pac couldn't do it that's for sure.

    You could have an American judge, a European judge and an African judge.

    Why in the hell would Floyd want to fight in a third world country where he pays double taxes, gets small gate $, and the fight comes on at like 1:00 in the Afternoon USA time?

    Hell, why would Manny want that?

    No because Floyd doesn't want to be assassinated and will want to be able to use his lidocaine

    Marquez should fight Pacquiao in Mexico City, what an atmosphere that'd be.

    What's with this notion that Vegas is somehow pro-Floyd? He gets booed in every fight. His opponent is always the fan favorite.

    And #48 bought $4M of tickets for his "friends". Floyd was against all odds.
