    he doesn't deserve any of ricky's ppv money though as he isn't the one bringing it in.

    Arum is a POS this fight should be a 50/50 spilt. They are both draws.

    250k is a pretty good PPV for an unknown opponent. barrera-marquez also has the same numbers. pac-morales trilogy have made a million PPV. pac-marquez has almost 500k and pac-barrera has 375k. considering that it was in the lower weights, it is a good number for pac.

    i am not as impressed as to how they conduct their business but they got what they want. the biggest fault here is that they should have told arum in the first place that they want a bigger share even before the verbal agreement to avoid this drama.

    pac would be bringing additional UK PPV buys here. hatton-floyd UK PPV was very good because of floyd also and not hatton alone.

    indeed.

    comparing floyd-hatton to hatton-paulie speaks for itself.

    Truly, the casual British boxing fan has absolutely no idea who Pac is, and only had a vague idea about PBF
     

  7. maybe but it would only be negliable and deffo not 60%

    Not really, seeing as no-one knows the figures for Hatton v Malignaggi.

    of course he doesn't. 50-50 should be the highest he should get for the UK PPV. again we don't know about this 52-48 deal. my guess is it is still 50-50 with the additional part shouldered by arum to make it like 52-48. in reality, what arum did was like 52-50.

    You have no idea how many friends and work colleagues who were buying the fight and I had to explain to them who Mayweather was...

    How many UK sales do you reckon DLH v Pacquiao did?

    not really it isn't pac that brings the buy its the fact ricky is fighting a guy thats meant to be good, most of the buyers have no ****ing clue who pac is.

    80 to 200k? Those figures are so far apart as to appear to be plucked out of the air....not by you

    Voice of reason. Because if you look at it from this perspective, 50/50 just don't sound right. Both have money, one has legacy, one is given his last chance for one. People have been jumping on Pac too much, sure he didnt say some of the things tahts posted here. Arum is to blame, he got blinded by his own greed (UK ppv) that he compromised the split.
     

  15. Of course it does, thats because it fits into your argument:patsch

    You can't say that bogus internet article is the truth because we can't find the actual figures.
