Has a "winner gets the bigger split" type negotiation ever happened?

    I often see boxers propose "winner gets 55 % loser gets 45%" when it's hard to make a fight. I've heard this a ton of times but never known it to actually happen. Anyone know any examples?

    ...as much as a 20 million dollar bet for a 200million dollar fight....floyd ducked it.

    Floyd don't like to risk it. Floyd ain't a G.

    Are you serious I would have though Trinidad would have got the lions share of that purse regardless of the outcome of the fight.

    Do you have a link to that, would love to read about why it came about....

    No its not like that, they put a big bet (50k?) on the press conference before the fight for the winner, so obviously the winner gets a bigger split cause he got money from the other guy.
    In this case a smart move by tito but I dont know if it counts as to what the ts is asking:think
