    60/40 jumps out to me as a fair number but i bet it Shane ends up accepting 30 or 35 (65 or 70 for Floyd).

    40-60 gets the fight done, lol dude said he'd take 40-60 and come all the way down to 140 to fight Pacquiao

    He was willing to take 40 vs Pac. He gets no more than 40%, he may have to take 35%.

    If i were Mosley id demand even pay,he will most likley end up taking 40% though.He is in a decent position cos Floyd needs a big name.

    50/50 no more no less

    Shane is the man at 147....why should he settle for anything less than 50%?? **** that

    This is the reason why I think you have not seen an announcement yet. Mosley probably wants 40%, but Mayweather probably wants him to take 25% or 30%. Hopefully this doesn't kill the fight and I hope cooler heads prevail. Personally I believe, Mosley should just take 30 or 25% and get Mayweather in the ring. He will make Quadruple triple what he would have made with Berto at 30% or 25%. Plus he can get PPV revenue. These 2 have been going at for years, just get it done and fight. Too bad ego gets in the way. If this fight doesn't happen it will be another disappointment for boxing. I will not get my hopes up until I see it is official.

    Because that's the business aspect of the fight, and Mayweather is clearly the bigger draw.

    40% tops IMO

    Even though they would be fighting for Shane's belt no way would Fraud allow 50-50 and Shane wants Floyd's ass bad enough he will accept 40 or maybe even 35.

    Well he is the Champion, but he's a decent man, so he's probably give Floyd 30%

    Honestly who gives a **** I just want to see the fight.

    You have to keep in mind Shane just made 2 Miliion to fight Margo and was going to make 2 mil vs Berto. What was Floyd's last two Purses?

    Mosley should get between 35% and 40%.
