    Roach was talking about 50/50. Floyd should take that and stop the BS for once. They both would make crazy money because everyone wants to see it.

    Equal to make this fight happen. Pac won't be allowed more. Floyd wants more. 50/50 is fine.

    As much as I appreciate PBF's elusiveness and defensive skills, it is Manny's aggressive style that's just more eye-pleasing to an average fan. For this very reason, there should be 55-45 split in Manny's favor but PBF will never agree to it so 50-50 will be more like it.

    Nobody.

    Mayweather still has huge crossover appeal but Pacquiao has come through more risks. Nothing swings it either way for me. I dont think Manny is the problem, I think he'd take 50% and I think Mayweather would too, Arum though will no doubt try to **** Floyd over and give him an excuse to have a little moan so he can turn around and blame Floyd for stalling.

    With the potential for this clash, 50% of the purse including PPV sales could net each fighter $30m + and i think both would be happy. I sincerely hope Arum doesn't **** this thing up because Floyd is working with Golden boy at the moment too which obviously Arum will not like either

    I think that we should wait to see the PPV numbers from tonights fight before making a decision on this. If this fight did less than a million buys despite the fact that people didn't have the option to watch it cheaper in a movie theater, there is no way that Manny can demand an equal purse.

    50-50 and HBO has to intervene to convince them that such a fight will generate 3 million buys !! That's not even counting the added endorsement deals for that fight alone !!

    The closing argument if it's not done at 50-50....60 to the winner and 40 to the loser !!!

    I think they should make a deal where the Winner gets 55 and the loser 45.

    Before this fight I thoguht PBF deserved 60-40. Now I think 50-50 is reasonable.

    There is no way Mayweather should get the bigger slice, Pac's the attraction here, & the more accomplished fighter. 60/40 Pac it should be, but Mayweather will balk at 50/50 anyway to get out of the fight.

    How can you say that without having seen the PPV results from tonights fight. Floyd outsold Manny against DLH, Hatton, and Marquez. On all their common opponents, floyd got more buys. People say that Manny is more popular now than he was then so tonight was his chance to prove it. If this fight didn't do 1 million (the number of buys that Floyd vs Marquez got) buys despite Manny's recent performances and the historical significance of it, he should be happy with 60/40. If he got the million buys 50/50 is fair

    Roach has already said that they won't take less than 50%. The ball is in Floyd's court now.

    where is the I don't give a **** becuase I won't see any of it opton?

    I just want to see the ****ing fight.

    Why you guys defend your fighters split on a purse is beyond me. You would rather see them get respect with cash than earn it in the ring.:lol:

    Pac finishes fights.

    He's P4P #1, he also now holds a welterweight title after beating a stronger bigger champion in his 7th weightclass.

    Floyd just put on a clinic in his first fight back in 2 years against a smaller champion from two weight divisions lower.

    50-50 is more than reasonable.
