    Everyone has this "duck" **** going through there eyes.

    It's 2014. How does this fight happen? With Pac having no obligation to HBO, and Floyd having an obligation to SHO.

    How does it happen? What network does it take place on? Purse Split? All that.

    Realistically, explain it. IN YOUR OPINION, how would this fight get done?

    "HBO PPV did not put out a formal release of the numbers like it often does, but it confirmed to ESPN.com that Arum's disclosure was on the mark. The fight generated approximately $49 million in gross pay-per-view revenue." Source: ESPN regarding Pac/Bradley II numbers.

    Arum is going to have to cut the bull**** and accept that they aren't getting 50/50 or anything close to that any more. They should have taken the deal in 2010. Arum's total PPV revenue barely pays for Mayweather to step into the ring... And Arum has way too much pride to accept a 70/30 type of deal.

    Pac is not obligated to HBO and even if he was, do you even Tyson-Lewis?

    Here's how it happens.

    1) Pac says he will fights Floyd and agrees to his demands - Tick
    2) Floyd says he will negotiate - No tick, Floyd says Pac has lost and he only fights guys who hasn't lost.

    If Floyd miraculously found his balls and got a tick on 2.
    3) They meet, agree to terms and done, the biggest fight of the century. HBO, showtime, TR, GBP all come together to make 3-4mil buys.

    At no point in the sport has 2 superstars met on PPV, this would be the first.

    Fantasy Land. The moment for the fight has passed, and I'd argue they'd be lucky to break the records set by DLH/Mayweather and Canelo/Mayweather. 3+ million buys is not realistic. Even if they did this back in 2010, it wasn't going to hit 3 million buys.

    Are you dumb? Look at these forums? Look at the media. The fight has been hyped by social media, TV and every other media outlet for 4 years.

    Pac by himself is a superstar who has set PPV & gate records himself. So has Floyd. When ODLH fought Floyd, Floyd's highest PPV was 350k vs Gatti. When Floyd fought Canelo, Canelo hasn't even been on PPV. In fact Pac draws more on PPV than Canelo does for free. So what do you think happens when you get 2 guys who are both capable of reaching 1mil+ buys on their own and every mainstream media is finally talking boxing?

    The fight will do ridiculous numbers, 3-4mil easy all things considered.

    I still think this breaks 2.4..and def breaks live gate record...PAC takes 30 mil..arum gets a fee for pacs services...golden boy handles promotion...tr gets a spot on banner...it's on showtime ppv...PAC gets upside if goals are attained

    Do you even maths? 70/30 means Floyd is generating more than double the amount of PPVs. That means if Pac-Bradley did 800k buys, Floyd would need to do 1.8mil with Maidana to justify that purse split.

    Floyd needs bigger balls.
