    Dont waste time with that guy he is a Pac Sack flea. Only a moron would think that Shane is in the driver seat when his beat option if not floyd would pay him about a third of what he would get even if he took 20% from Floyd. My guess is this fight will be worth in the 30 to 40 million range

    Void will want 100% because his mind tells him that he is bigger than boxing, but can Void get Mosely to agree to throw the fight?

    True, Its a pure waste!! Shane can walk away wth anywhere between $8-12mil fighting Floyd as opposed to $2-3mil waiting on Berto! What the hell is wrong w/dumbyzhee??? :huh

    It should be 50-50 since Mosley is THE MAN at 147 and Floyd's done slightly above jack **** there since 2006, but I see him taking 40%.

    It's truly pathetic how fighters would still sign with Top Rank. I mean, Clottey is only getting 1 million guaranteed for the Pacquiao fight. 1 million!

    Problem is, that is huge money for Clottey and he's probably happy to take it. He would have never agreed to such a small share of the purse if he had good business people working for him.

    Arum only gives a **** about his cash cows of the moment and not about any of the other fighters in his stable. Putting another one of his guys in the line of fire, potentially ruining that fighter's future earning potential, just to give blood thirsty pac fans something to cheer about. Unreal. Clottey should have 3-4MM guaranteed for this.

    Hope Clottey pulls of the upset just because Arum is a douche.

    Rest assured that if Clottey and Floyd where to win and Floyd were to offer Clottey say a 20 or 25 percent split, all hell would break lose. Arum would be in full tactical mode and would berate Floyd and accuse him of pricing himself out. That's what promoters do, they try to get their guys as much money as possible. Unfortunately for Clottey, Pac is also one of Arum's guys. Not only that, but he needs to line Pac's pockets up with some serious cash after the Mayweather fight fell through.

    None of these fighters, including Mayweather, actually negotiate their purse split. It's up to their promoters and managers to get them their fair share. Clottey is in a position where his promoter is not looking out for his best interest. He's being told that he's getting a career high payday, and he's happy with that. The purse split though is completely one-sided. Arum would never let Clottey get only 9% against any other fighter.

    That's the way this **** should work. You would really see them fight then. None of that boring pre madonna pitty pat ****. 60% to the winner with a 20% bonus for a KO. Go in and knock the guy out and leave with 80% of the money. Guaranteed money does nothing but make for boring fights !!!!
