Seems that Mayweather is saying no to a 50/50 split suggesting that he brings more drawing power. I beg to differ. What's your opinion?
50/50.....even if Manny agrees to 45%, the contract will come written at 40. That's how Floyd will operate this. He'll get Pac to agree to 45%, then when the deal is drawn up it'll be 40. Then, Pac will agree to 40 a week later, and the contract will come in at 35, until finally Pac is at 10% and pursuing people who won't duck him, like ANY OTHER FIGHTER ON THE PLANET.
I thought the purse had been agreed ages ago for ****s sake. This ****ing fight is a joke. Mayweather is the bigger draw but to make sure it happens they should do 50-50 if that's what it takes. I'm completely sick of this
Pacquiao deserves more easily in my opinion. Though I'm sure Pacquiao said YES to a 50/50 split recently.
50/50.... shouldn't even be a ****in issue. But pricing yourself out is the oldest trick in the book.

Pac is p4p king, fighter of the decade, the smaller fighter (size disadvantage). I would argue Pac is a bigger draw overall but that's an open ended debate. Pac's legacy is far superior to Floyd's. Floyd needs this fight more. Pac should get more money.
50/50 split would be reasonable, face it both fighters have drawing power. Mayweather is arguably a bigger draw, but Pac is the PFP king and so on, so 50/50 seems to be fair. Apart from that, this would be a huge fight, with huge money for both so they should finally stop bitching about a percent here and there.
