    I really don't expect a drawn out negotiation, I do think that weight will be more of an issue than money. Pac has to accept 147, Floyd should accept not accept any catchweight.

    Easy fight to negotiate. 50/50, fight takes place at the WW limit. The only debate is what to do with the Phillipines money. Obviously Pac deserves most of that money, but I doubt Mayweather is going to let him have all of it. They already made that mistake against Hatton.

    Pac should have all of it...he can fight Alfonso Gomez and still draw just as many in the Phillippines as he will for PBF-Pac. Therefore PBF has no effect on the drawing power of this fight whatsoever in the Phillippines.

    :lol: I bet you actually believe that. I'll tell you what, then how about if the fight does similar numbers there as they have in Pac's previous fights, Pac gets all the money. If the numers are noticabley higher, Floyd gets 30%?

    I doubt Pacquiao ditches this fight for an election. All the talks out of his camp is that he can do both.

    I dont think they have ppv in the Phillippines, Pac makes his money simply from the TV networks and advertisements, whatever that may be, which i dont think is much anyways. That said yea I do believe that, the fight is shown free on TV, 60million Filipino's will be watching, regardless who the opponent is.

    I think the fight will be shown here in UK too...that would probably generate more money worth splitting.

    You do have a point, there isn't enough money in the Phillipines to really argue over. Floyd should get the bigger cut of the U.K money.

    Roach said Pac needs time to heal, and that they'll need extra time to prepare for Floyd. A fight of this magnitude needs time to hype as well.
