    I know that Manny has a huge following but a majority of those guys aren't americans ... Mayweather brings the casual fan to the fights _ he's also selling the fight and adding drama to the fight with his villanous attitude.

    He's also an undefeated fighter who was once the p4p king before Manny began his reign last year.

    Even at 30% of the purse + gate + ppv revenue, he still stands to make the most money he's ever has for 1 fight. More than he made against Oscar and against Hatton.

    He would stand to make 20m minimum ...

    Only thing that people are saying is that Manny has a big fan base, but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to what he has to lose (which is nothing) He loses a fight, he's alright, he already has lost before but Mayweather hasn't lost and more people will tune in just because ... not because Manny Pacquiao, but just to see if someone can beat this guy and I don't care how many fans you bring to the table _ just based on that fact alone _ he should get the majority of the purse.

    Most the casual fans I know will buy this fight because of Manny, not Floyd.

    The thing is, Pac is the star right now. The casual fans your saying are the only want to see him lose(no really).

    Floyds last two fights sold because of his oppenents following not his. Much would be the same IF he ever figths Pac.

    Floyd know in himself that he isn't the star anymore.

    Pac can have the terms, Pac can just say my way or the highway and nobody will mind. Unlike Floyd atm who has the pressure of being called stuffs by over pricing himself (as usually he does)

    If FLoyd even comes close to asking for these numbers then he definitely does NOT want that fight.

    Boxing is a sport that clearly goes by the "what have you done for me lately" scenario. People pay to see boxers knock people da **** out, not run around all day like your at the NFL combine. Mayweather will not have no pull on the fight unless he blows Marquez out. Freddie Roach will make sure of that and that is the way it should be. I can see 55-45 for the lionshare of the purse for Pac but knowing Mayweather he will not accept that and will try to back out alas prima donna status.

    Floyd deserves 60% if he fights Manny, he is going to be the main draw especially if he beats JMM in a dominant fashion, something Manny has never done. Plus, Manny needs Floyd more than Floyd needs him.

    Thats one way he'll be able to avoid fighting Manny & he'll think he's justified, when us fans know what the truth.

    He has to fight him (has to beat Marquez 1st). If he didn't, the comeback is a joke & he'll be forever remembered as a major ducker.
