    Let's say for arguments sake that Floyd and Manny both win their fights against Cotto and Bradley pretty convincingly (and neither will be easy IMO).. Floyd has proven to be stubborn during negotiations and he's guaranteed to outsell Pac May 5th due to him fighting Cotto and having Mexican fan favorite Canelo Alvarez on the undercard.. So if everything goes according to plan should Manny swallow his pride and accept the lesser purse with no PPV revenue to give fans of boxing and more importantly his own fans (which I am not) the fight they want to see ??? ... I think 50-50 is fair, BUT I'm going to say Yes Manny should be the bigger man, take the lesser purse and give the fans what they want to see.. IF he can take Mayweather's 0 and be the guy to shut Floyd's mouth once n for all he will be IMMORTALIZED in the history of ATG fighters in the sport of boxing..

    Won't blame Pac if he didn't accept less then a fair split, but I think legacy means more to Pac then it does to Mayweather.

    No, because Floyd will intoduce something else to stop this. He's made it clear by his actions by now. Well, to people with the ability to think.

    If he would and win it would be huge for his legacy, but the fact is Floyd will beat him so he should not accept it unless its like 51% 49% just to satisfy Floyds ego.

    No, but if he does it doesn't and shouldn't be a huge split. I think Floyd wants to fight him but he doesn't want to give Arum a dime.

    52/48 to Floyd (what Manny meant when he said he'd accept less, not get raped)

    OR.

    45-45 and 10% to the winner (this is the best scenario as it will have both men gunning for the emphatic victory).

    **** yes.

    Naturally, I'm speaking from my POV. I don't give a **** if Manny or Floyd makes 40 or 60 million or whatever.

    Oh cry me a river if one of them is making less than the other and they have to swallow their pride for a bit. Make him pay in the ring.

    They'll be making enough money to wipe their asses with $100 bills anyway.

    I really like the 55-45 to the winner idea, but there is NO chance in hell Floyd excepts that.. 52/48 is also fair enough to get it done.

    :lol:.. That's true

    I really don't think he's scared, but I wouldn't blame somebody for thinking that. Some of his reasoning was shitty
