    55-45 seems fair. If GBP makes sure the judging isn't in Arum's favor as well, the 10 % to the winner isn't a bad idea.

    Pacman deserves 50/50 if not more for his opposition. But in reality, both are top guys and should be paid equal amounts. I do not remember guys like Hagler and Hearns or Duran and Leonard arguing over how much they would be paid to fight each other. I remember more the press conferences and the comments they made about the fight. The money was handled quickly and there were not many issues. Floyd is not going to fight Manny. After 3 years it is obvious.

    These guys have been swapping the #1 p4p spot for years now.

    If they had any respect for the fans and to prove they are the best against each other they would agree to 50/50.

    Now we are seeing who really only cares about money. What happened to fighters fighting because they wanted to beat the best their division has to offer?

    Who ever wins this could go down as the greatest in our generation. I would think that honor would be priceless. If they don't fight, for me and many fans, there will always be an * next to their names.

    I think if you broke it down, that it would come to Floyd generating around 10, maybe 12% more than Pacquiao. . . So 45/55 would be acceptable. . .

    But right now, Floyd ain't even talking about sharing ANY ppv revenue with Pac. . .

    Floyd made .25mil more.

    You forgetting the fact that Pac is now a bigger draw than when he fought Cotto last. Cotto himself has gained name recognition from Cotto-Pac amongst the mainstream fans.

    Mosley-Alvarez would have added minimum of 200k on 5th May.

    If Floyd is simply a much bigger star, explain Pac doing .4mil more in the JMM bout.

    Floyd fans are just looking for a way out just like their idol. They want NO PART of Pac. They don't want the fight to happen. Floyd himself knew this, that's why he wont take a risk in his health. :lol:

    Yeah, logical "boxing first" fans will realize there are plenty of dynamics that come into play, but *****s will try to justify Floyd's stance. . .

    I think we'll have a lot better idea of how much Canelo contributed to the PPV after his PPV in September. . If he does 250k plus, then we'll know. . .


    I really do think Floyd prolly has a better argument to make more than 50/50. . BUt noting more than something around 55/45. . BUt right now, he doesn't even want to let Pac in on the backend revenue. . That's crazy!

    it really doesv seem this way, innit?'

    they'd rather see floyd stick by his argument, and support him on ridiculous stances, than see the most demanded fight in a long time. i mean, the implications of this fight are HUUUGGGEE. . . Especially if it winds up being a good fight with some two-way action. . If we can get THAT MANY EYES on our beloved sport, it would do so much good for it, and in turn, US REAL FANS.

    Just this *******s. How come you can't explain? Here are YOUR numbers...these aren't made up.....Explain why one guy should get a guarantee of double or more his payday while another guy only gets a few million more than what he made for Cotto? Makes no sense.

    now your using "your opinion" and making an assumption on the numbers...lmfao 200k for mosley alvarez:patsch So *******s how come you can't respond to the LEGIT numbers I gave you?:bbb:rofl:rofl

    Manny did $25,000,000 for his last fight....his career high per Bob Arum (actual public record shows him making a lot less but hey, lets give the ***** the benefit of the doubt so I don't have to listen to more bull****). Floyd's guarantee was $32,000,000 w/out PPV...Floyd did $19,000,000 additional in PPV with ortiz at 1,250,000 buys...he'll rake in at least $21,000,000 in ppv profits with Cotto putting him at $53,000,000. So what the **** are you talking about?
