    PBF did more numbers with common opponents than Pac

    PBF-Oscar Pac-Oscar edge PBF
    PBF-Hatton Pac-Hatton edge PBF
    PBF-JMM Pac-JMM 1&2 edge PBF

    It can't be anymore cut and dry than that.:deal

    Sure Floyd is a 2 to 1 favorite to defeat Hoya but the result was a stinking boring SD. It was not labeled "Stinko de Mayo" for nothing.

    Who wants to see a mismatch, giant Hoya vs. midget Pacquiao? No one of course but just 1.2M curious viewers and they got a surprise of their lives. The midget kicked that giant ass.

    LOL :lol:

    But how would these numbers look TODAY? I would say they would look pretty equal. It's no doubt that Floyd was a star earlier in his career than Pac, but people don't care if you were a star years ago. It only matters that they want to watch you NOW.

    And really why are people so butt hurt in proving who should have more money? It's all just ****ing opinion. No one here stands to benefit from either fighter having more money.

    No they're not. Not even close

    Compare:

    Mayweather v De la Hoya > Pac v De la Hoya
    Mayweather v Hatton > Pac v Hatton
    Mayweather v Marquez > Pac v Marquez

    What was that again about being equal? Numbers don't lie.

    You can always say what if in every situation. The fact is PBF has done better numbers so that's all we have to go on.

    Oh for cryin' out loud! Just do 50-50! If PBF deserves a bigger share, it should be 51-49 at the very most!

    Don't tell me it's gonna be money that sinks the fight this time!

    Because he wanted to silence all critics who said he was scared.

    Remember the first fight, Team Pac went into the press saying that FMJ will ask for too high a purse split, 10 oz gloves, etc... to kill the fight. He asked for nothing and agreed to EVERYTHING even an insane $10 million dollar per pound over the 147lbe limit. The ONLY things he asked for were:

    -- First billing
    -- Vegas
    -- USADA drug testing

    He bent on the last one and even went to 14 days, but they killed the fight anyway. Six months of FMJ's life wasted!

    Now? We are here and they are back to their old tricks. This statement is from Pac's Team not Mayweather's so this may be a lie also.
