    Just what I thought . . . . that clown will be asking for more. :D

    . . . there should be no fight then. PBF can fight JMM and get the #2 rankings the most.

    Pac should fight other big fights then retire as #1. :good

    if he is asking for a 60-40 split to fight Manny, He will get it, Roach was pissed off when James Toney turned down the same offer to fight Vitali Klitschko

    That's completely a different scenario . . . James Toney refused the 40% when he was the challenger to Wlad . . . this time it's PBF who's challenging Pacquiao and he is asking for 60/40 in his favor? :D

    No way . . . no deal. There should be no fight. :deal

    Actually Toney had just won the WBA title when that offer came around.

    I swear people don't have any ability to think on this site. Floyd is a draw rather people like it or not. Quit trying to act like as if nobody know who he is and nobody is willing to pay to see him fight. If Pac is a bigger draw than Him and Oscar would have broke records but they didn't. Quit acting stupid.

    I fail to see reason to your post.... I don't see how you don't find 60-40 purse unfair. Considering he's not the star of the show anymore, it's all pac.

    I think it should be 50-50, but people shouldn't act like floyd is not a draw. this is not 2004.

    Pac and Floyd are about equal in draw power, and after Pac last fight I wouldn't be surprised if he became the bigger draw.

    A 50/50 split should be fair.

    But anyways IMO it's Floyd just talking bs, he's still fighting JMM so he doesn't need to get serious about future negotiations.
    Wait after the fight.

    Like I said before, if Floyd is so confident in his skills 40-40 20 prize.

    Makes it more interesting ;)

    50/50 should do it (if Mayweather beats Marquez). Most boxing analysts, will say that DeLaHoya was the main draw in both fights - can't really say Floyd is a bigger draw than Pac since his fight with DLH made more $$ because the economy was in a different state then.

    We will see who the bigger draw is when we see how much the Mayweather/Marquez battle makes. If it makes more than Pac/Hatton, then I will agree that Mayweather is the bigger draw.

    Regardless - because of both of their standings, I think 50/50 is fair.

    I agree but don't think they would - they will want a guaranteed larger split.

    You should tell PBF to quit acting stupid.

    Both of them are a draw . . . but he is coming in from retirement after ducking 147 lbers while the other guy is busy working his ass off . . . 50/50 would be fine but 60/40 is just moronic and being greedy. :deal
