    No one is. They are saying that Floyd has a right to get more than 50/50 now.

    All the guys saying that probably agree that he should accept 50/50 for the sake of the fight.

    Do you feel he used Xylocaine in his last 6 fights on fight night?

    It's not a what if scenario. Both of their drawing power TODAY is pretty much equal. What does it matter what their drawing power was years ago when today they can both at minimal produce 500000+ viewers each? Is it really that hard to understand? I feel like I'm talking with children who couldn't care to be logical but just want to have the last word in.

    But you know, as do I, if Mayweather doesn't budge from wanting 55% some will actually blame Pac for not accepting 45%. It's crazy when we're talking about the amount of money being generated here.

    Mayweather taking 70% from anyother fighter will still earn nowhere near the 50% he'd get for Pac.

    The fight could generate more money for the fighters by having it in Dallas Stadium, however Floyd doesnt want to fight there. In that sense, Pac conceding to the fight being in Vegas means he is loosing out on money, because of Floyd.

    What are you talking about? I don't know what either man will accept. All I can do is sit and see what are logical and reasonable terms. Given the data we have to work with, like we do with all fights, FMJ would NOT be out of place asking for 55% no matter what Arum agrees to. This is the standard we would hold any fight negotiation to.

    Because people (you) like Pac this is different? Nobody asked for ODLH to accept 50%. Why, when all the numbers show that FMJ is the draw, are you asking Mayweather to accept 50%? It is ignorance.

    And you base your BS "fair" on? What? PPV buys? Gate? Common opponents? A side opponent (Cotto) versus B side opponent (Mosley)? If you do the numbers ALL say the same thing... Unless you are blind.

    And the 45% Pac would earn if Mayweather demanded 55% would be nowhere near as well.

    Dude, this isn't charity. Mayweather is undefeated and the PPV king. Pac should take 40% and like it. Damn straight I'll blame Pac. What has he done but KO other people's leftovers?

    He's a beast against a broken fighter, how will he do against the #1 P4P fighter in the world?

    You are talking out of your butt. No it wouldn't. Dallas stadium is not on world class event level. Google map it. There is a walmart outside! Where are the hotels? The fine dining? The pre fight fun? Exactly.

    Vegas is the ONLY place for this fight. There are other venues but Dallas is like 3rd or 4th if you disregard taxes.

    All you need to know is that Pac/Clottey had 50K people and Mayweather/SSM did 15K and the Mayweather/SSM fight did a bigger gate dollar wise. Nuff said.
