    If I was Richard I'd stfu and wait until the Bradley numbers come in. That fight is likely to hurt emmanuel's average

    I've suggested something like this in the past, since I figured it would shut Floyd up, and depending on how the calculations work out, might even give him a larger share. But however much larger either party's share would be, it would be close enough that there shouldn't be much squabbling about it. Based on the numbers I've read (confirmed and unconfirmed), it shouldn't be worse than a 47-53 sort of spread. The numbers are remarkably similar.

    Of course, the camps will still whine about things like the impact of the opponents' drawing power on the PPVs, the impact of the undercard fighters (i.e. Canelo), etc. as unquantifiable mitigating factors, so I doubt this will be the big breakthrough we're hoping for.

    They aren't sitting down right now. It's a proposal which means...it will more than likely take time to get things in order...which means...it will be after Bradley.

    What happens if bob and emmanuel are reluctant to do this and end up not agreeing? There's a good chance that their Mosley and Marquez numbers are outright fake

    And this is why this whole idea is just something said to score points in the press. You can't tell me how many people bought the last PPV ONLY because of Floyd. Or Cotto. Or Canelo (let's not forget the May 5 aspect). It was a solid card, something top rank usually avoids so all the money can go to Manny.

    This fight ain't gonna happen anyway, but to try and prove who brings what to the pot for THIS event is impossible. This is just a press release idea. Nothing more.

    55/45 looking at it from a business perspective is what PAC should be asking for.. but May wants to give 60-40 as a big booster to himself... and he is the PPV cash cow so I don't blame him... but 55-45 to fill his ego, and it still be a viable option... 60-40 is insulting... 55-45 that's were its at

    55/45 is what should happen.



    50/50 is bs because Mayweather's ego will never allow himself to be treated and make as much money as his opponent because he feels he is the cash cow, and I agree. PAC is #2

    Richard was a Swiss Banker that catered to the elite before getting into boxing promos

    60/40 if the fight only generates $100 mill. It could easily go $150 or higher.

    The numbers would favor Floyd widely. No way does Arum agree.

    I don't think this will work.

    Similar arrangement was made before as far as drug testing is concern. We know what happened to that.

    It will be $40M flat take it or leave it deal.

    This fight won't happen.

    And Floyd was willing to give Manny $40 mill? Maybe you better be the numbers guy for this one cuz these guys are obviously all :nut.



    :rofl

    By your reasoning Floyd is offering Pac the lions share?


    :rofl
