    Arum budging from Mayweather won't get 50% to 50/50 shows the truth.

    50/50 is fine with me.


    Both are going to make HUGE purses anyway. Not like either one should have something to complain about.



    But if you want to compare who's the bigger draw. Floyd is, but not by much.

    Both Pac and Floyd are very strong B sides. No one in the game today is a good A side. Not Floyd, not Pac, no one.

    Put Pac and Floyd together you have a HUGE outcome of sales. You place Pac against Cotto or vice versa. I would argue Floyd will always draw better. Not by a lot but it will be better.

    1. How many times i will tell you Baldomir is more than a name compare to Diaz? PPV takes 2 to tango. Baldomir coming from wins over popular fighters by the names of Gatti and Judah. Yet you want to compare 325k vs 250 k. Lets say Mayweather/Diaz-Pac/Baldomir, do you think the former will sell 250k?:think

    2. Try to find some business analyst that will tell you how a 70% GLOBAL ECONOMY COLLAPSE affects our way of spending. Its a fact:deal, not an excuse!

    3. Really? There were reports lately that Pac/Hatton did 910k buys in the US. Citing no. 2 above, it dwarfed Mayweather/Hatton buys.

    4. What do you mean gets pay more? Are we talking about total income? Limit your point to PPV buy discussion dude. We may again bring the argument of AT&T vs Nike endorsements.

    5. Same as no 3

    And that exciting fighter will outsell the Mayweather/JMM ppv buys because youve stated the obvious, EXCITIMENT, the one thing people love to see.

    6. If Mayweather/JMM breaks the 400k generated by Pac/JMM2, lets talk again. Start to pray now.I highly doubt it though. Cant sell tickets. It means public response is low. There is no excitement written all over in anticipation of that fight.

    As a fan, i agree 50-50 should seal the deal, just to make the fight happens. But to answer the TS, NO! Mayweather doesnt deserve more than 50% share against Pac at this time.

    And its a business...You have to have a good idea of what your going to make so you can budget your money. there is alot that goes into training for a fight, no one goes to a training camp with a fight that isnt getting paid. You have to pay sparring partners, trainers, managers, cooks, cutman, they have to pay for gym space and usage. this all comes out of the fighters pocket, or SOMETIMES the promoters, but mostly the fighters. so you cant go into a fight not knowing if your going to get 40% of 10 million or 4 million or 60% or 6 million. You have to know, that is why those kinds of things arent done...Beside I think that its against the law in many States.

    Those types of deals would also motivate promoters to try to influence judges' decisions.

    Floyd had more ppv buys than Pac in the two common opponents that they faced on ppv. I'd like to see them take in 50-50 personally.

    1. Ok so Diaz who fought half of famer ERIK MORALES!!!! Is not a known name compare to Baldimor? You can't be that stupid.

    2. Stfu about economy bs. It's an excuse point blank. If Pacquiao is the huge draw this and that and is number 1 p4p then he should have more ppv buys in his last 3 fights better then Mayweather. I hate when people like you bring up crappy stuff like economy lol.


    3. Do you actually believe that bs stuff? It was already reported like 2 or 3 weeks after Pacquiao ko Hatton that the ppv buys in the us did only 850k. But now all of a sudden in the month of july it was reported the ppv buys to be at 910k? lol Was that reported by the Philippines articles? lol. Even if it did 910k in the us, Mayweather vs Hatton did better in 920k. It's very close but Mayweather ppv buys is just a bit better.


    4. I'm talking about getting pay to fight not about nike or any of that nature.


    5. :rofl



    6. Real boxing fans knows Mayweather vs Marquez is a mismatch to say the least but if it did atleast 400k it be way more impressive then Pacquiao vs Marquez rematch that also did 400k.

    No, Void does not deserve more than 50/50. However, Void refused to fight Pac, Cotto, Margarito and Mosley.
