If Pacquiao does over a million buys V Bradley does he deserve 50-50?

    Never, because Floyd did 2.6 million with Oscar 5 years ago.

    They should just offer Poochiao some Sushi and Rice and he should be happy with that.

    you look at their common opponents, aside from oscar, the numbers are all within 100-200k. . Manny outsold floyd with marquez by 400k. . Floyd outsold manny with mosley by 100-200k. . . and coto by 250k. . nad hatton by like 75k. .


    Oscar was an outlier. . too many dynamics there. . economy, competitiveness as viewed by the casual fan (everybody thought oscar was going to blow out manny), and HBO debuted 24/7. . When all is said, and done, Floyd probably deserves 52%

    lets not forget, the fight was agree at 50/50.

    Then manny outsold floyd for the 1st time ever last year, then all of a sudden 50/50 was no longer acceptable.

    So even if manny out sells floyd again (which i doubt this time) then I still think 50/50 won't be acceptable.

    He doesn't have to, HBO takes care of that. They will post the numbers
    1 week after the fight.

    That isn't nice to say, would it be offensive to you if someone said give
    Mayweather some yard bird(chicken) & watermelon, he should be happy with that? Of course you would, its not cool.

    Doesn't matter..he didn't for Oscar..Doesn't matter that he wasn't the A side for Oscar either..Both Floyd and Manny were on the B side for that COMMON OPPONENT, and Floyd doubled the buys and the revenue.

    Also, Canelo doesn't bring that much to the table. He isn't paid $32,000,000, $25,000,000, or $22,500, or $11,000,000 or $10,000,00, or anything close to it.

    If Floyd gets better fighters on his card than Top Rank needa step up. Pacquiao had Bradley on his last card but that's not relevant. What is relevant is Floyd's numbers and what he is taking home over Manny. He does more buys in common opponents, more revenue, and gets a higher payday.

    A bit off topic but I dunno, but this whole backlash on his gay comments could work in his favor. I was just reading a yahoo article about it, and the comments section was filled with the pro-Christian crowd. The reality, although the media is generally liberal and progressive, the majority of America (especially the South and those Middle States) are socially conservative....which could garner him a new fanbase. I mean how else can you explain a dumbass like George Bush getting elected. Point is, it seems like Pacquiao has gained new fans who weren't necessarily boxing fans to begin with. The UFC crowd if you will, this could actually mprove his PPV numbers. I'm sure the state of North Carolina, which has just passed anti-gay marriage legislation...knows about manny now.

    ---read the comments section of this Pac-bashing article, Middle America comes to Packy's rescue.

    All that is relative to the fact that Mayweather also charges at a higher price. Take away the holidays but lower the price and it would end up being around the same thing give or take a few buys.

    Pac doesn't have the future options he is going to make more then 50mil over his next 2 fights and Mayweather is going to make 80mil over his next to fights. Mayweather will make 30mil more then Pac reguardless if he fights him or not.

    The highest probably way for Mayweather to come down on his offer isn't by Pac selling decent vs Bradley but by Mayweather losing options to make tons of money.

    He needs to do 1.5 million or more to deserve 50/50. Floyd has had consistently higher PPV numbers, and earns more per fight.

    How can Pac, from a business standpoint, think he deserves 50/50, while having less PPV numbers, and being the smaller earner? This isn't 2010 anymore and Pac is pricing himself out.

    If he does a million with Bradley then I would yes Floyd should agree with 50/50...Bradley has no fans!
