Is it really realistic for Manny to insist on 50/50 split?

    that's dumb. May makes more fighting Pac (even at a 50/50 split) than anyone else in the world.

    so, by your logic, it's would be worth it for mayweather to take a fight against someone else for less money as long as he got the larger percentage? I think that's what you're telling us.

    NO, it's not pathetic.

    There is always a cause but that cause in the end is beneficial to the fighters.

    If Baseball players (for example) that were "clean" came out and bashed the testing standards instead of keeping quite or worse, started to use...things wouldn't have been as bad as it ended up being.


    If you as a fighter have suspicion, wouldn't you demand further testing; the best testing?

    Nope ****. Im telling you Floyd is a bigger box office draw then Pacquiao. Floyd is putting on exciting fights, with 50 cent, Triple H and ****** Beiber carrying his belt into the ring. Lil Wayne posing with him post fight in the ring. Pacquiao has put on 3 relative stinkers in a row. one of which many feel he lost.

    Now he's fighting a no name Tim Bradley. No way 50/50 is justifiable for Pacquiao anymore from a financial standpoint.

    You comprende?

    You missed the point. The "suspicion" was FABRICATED out of fear and turned into this holier than thou campaign against doping in boxing. And now the fabricated suspicion has been perpetuated to the point where you have steven a. jackass (who knows **** all about boxing) on espn practically coming out and saying pac must be doping so floyd shouldn't fight him. Great input from the mainstream sports media.

    You aren't thinking outside the box. Floyd is a 30 second highlight on ESPN in the USA. Pacman has mainstream media coverage in other countries.

    But, like I was saying, the basic logic is that Floyd, no matter what, makes more fighting pac at 50/50 than he does against anyone else, which logically means that Pac is either (1) the 2nd biggest draw in boxing, (2) an equally large draw, or (3) the largest draw.

    the point is that there's nobody else, and whether pac is 1, 2, or 3 is irrelevant at this point. But what is relevant is that mayweather just does not want to fight Pacman. Arguing money and blood tests are his way of telling this to us.

    and why did you asterisk beiber?

    Mainstream coverage in what countries? The phillipines? Thailand? Sorry, they dont bring into the dollars. America, Mexico and Britain do. And Floyd is by far a bigger draw in those markets then Pacquiao.

    The REAL question here is: "Is it even acceptable to offer Manny
    This content is protected
    ?"

    55/45 seems ok.
    58/42 is ok.
    60/40 might work.

    But ZERO? WTF?

    This would be a worldwide event. There was a great Canelo-Mosley undercard to consider as well.

    The May-Pac undercard would have to include Khan and possibly broner, I don't know.

    Manny should say, let's measure head volume and figure out the split. Manny would have 70/30 split. That guys head is bigger than Barry Bonds and Tim Bradley put together. Slow down on the PEDs already.

    Well, since Manny is the PPV champion and Mayweather isw ducking Pacquio...then, yes. The Pacman deserves the majority of the money for he is the world's bravest and most popular fighter.

    Floyd makes $50,000,000 w/out Pacquiao...his payday for cotto was $50,000,000...Pac made $25,000,000 for his career high....Pac does not deserve 50/50...

    IF IT IS 50/50 THAN FLOYD MAKES THE SAME FOR COTTO WHILE PAC DOUBLES HIS HIGH PAYDAY..SO 50/50 IS NOT FAIR...PAC SHOULD TAKE HIS HIGH OF $40,000,000!!!

    Floyd made $50,000,000 with Cotto...Pac's highest payday is $25,000,000..Floyd would only make what he made for Cotto if he took a 50/50..Pac would make DOUBLE his high payday if he got the 50/50...not a fair deal.


    Pac should just accept his career high of $40,000,000...Floyd just made $50,000,000 with Cotto and Pac can't make that anyways..

    fact-Floyd has a career high guarantee of $32,000,000

    fact-Pac has a career high of $7,400,000....

    If you don't see it then your blind..Flyod makes MORE THAN 4 TIMES WHAT PAC MAKES AS A GUARANTEE!
