    It's 50/50. What else? They need each other. Floyd is the draw because of his mouth, his fans, his unbeaten record, and oh yeah, his formidable skills. He talks about them so much that even the casual fan recognizes the craft.
    Manny is the draw because of his life story, his fans, the fighters on his resume, his crazy knockout rate in different divisions, and oh yeah his "balls".
    I'd have to give MM the edge here simply because he is a more technical fighter. But, if he chooses to run in there with his attitude of not watching film or strategizing on a fighter, he will lose. A win for Floyd means nothing to me anyway because he like Cotto "was", is supposed to beat Manny. Shane Mosely, who deserves the P4P Title anyway, will be MM's possible Waterloo. Check HIS record. MM is the bigger man, better boxer, etc. But, Manny is the P4P King because he fights the dangerous fights. Literally. Manny, may make a case for 60/40. I don't agree, but I can see his argument.

    PBF a bigger draw? might be by re-scheduling the fight due to alibi (injury)... Crack head... I don't care about the split of money, just get the fight done and lets see whose best...

    damn right!

    screw the split. they will both make a shitload of money and one of them will have an ego from hell after it.

    50-50.

    if floyd balks at that and the fight doesn't get made then he deserves to be labelled for eternity.

    Besides much remarkable fights than Mayweather, Pac should deserve a better share cos he did well after Floyd went off this sport. With respaect for both fighters, I think 50-50 is just much reasonable deal to push through the fight. If one of both fighters disagree to this term, absolutely the one who is making alibi not to fight.

    It's simple. He brings more to the table than Floyd.

    Sure historically Mayweather has the better PPV numbers fighting the same opponents. But these fights each came at different stages in their careers, and during different ecomonal climates.

    What were talking about is now. Right now Manny Pacquiao is the man. Not only in terms of being recognised as the P4P best, but also moneywise. Pac has exploded after his recent historical victories and can now generate 1million+ PPV, fighting any big name.

    In their last fights Pac-Cotto got more buys than a returning Mayweather did vs Marquez. And the Mayweather fight was promoted for 6 months or something and they spent quite a bit on it apparently. The Mayweather camp have no excuses. They claimed Cotto was not a draw and that Marquez would gaurantee big numbers as he has a nation behind him.

    Also, Manny does not need Floyd Mayweather for his legacy. He is already being considered as an elite ATG if he retires today for what he's achieved. He will be a sure fire top 10 ATG decades down the road, no doubt. He also has other options which could further enhance his legacy in Mosley at 147 and fighting for a 154 belt.

    Floyd on the other hand has far from secured his legacy as one of the greatest all-time (let alone the GOAT that he claims he is) and gets more criticism than praise for his accomplishments. He still needs a few more great wins against legit great fighters to silence the naysayers once and for all. Pacquaio is the only prime great fighter available for him to fight, and he needs to beat him if he ever wants to be remembered as the best of his generation, let alone all-time. Mayweather needs to swallow a bit of pride and take a 50-50 split, which is more than fair.

    PAC is a better draw now then he was then, plain and simple. People will buy this fight more because both men are involved. It will make 4 times the money that any other fight will. Not because PBF is in it, or Pac is in it, but because the'yre fighting each other. Pacs last fight with Cotto beat Floyds last fight with Marquez....hmmm:huh

    bigger fighters have always been bigger draws than smaller ones though.

    baby**** aside - this should be a 50-50 split purely because it's the biggest fight in boxing for a long, long time.

    and both fighters will make shitloads from it anyway.

    No offense, but if Pac had earned more ppv's than Floyd...we'd be listening to 65-35 in favor of Pac from every last fan here. Floyd deserves more because he sold more ppv's than Pac period. No Pac fan can mathematically give a reason why Pac deserves 50-50 other than them saying, "Pac deserves 50-50"... Floyd not giving Pac 50-50 is his right, and deservedly so. PAc not accepting anything close to 55-45 shows me that Pac and his people don't want the fight. Floyd asking for 60-40 will show that Floyd is greedy. We'll find out soon enough!

    Let me translate it for you if your knowledge cannot comprehend it.

    PBF-JMM was rescheduled because of a supposed injury by Floyd. It was then that the issue of poor ticket sales came up.

    With the self-proclaimed bigger draw needing cancellations to sell more tickets, how does he expect to have the bigger share of the pie.

    It's that simple.

    The fight sold a mil buys, so you not only don't have a point, you're just talking shite rather than believing Floyd was injured. The poor ticket sales excuse was not started by anyone promoting Floyd's fight, so who, and where did that lie come from? A fight on Mexican Independence was not the sole reason why this fight DID a million buys...sorry! You either believe that Floyd didn't injure himself, or that the ticket sales were bad, and that the fight would do better on Mexican Independence day. You have no proof about the latter which was started by Arum's damage control-imo of course lol...

    No Pac fan can give a legit reason why PAc deserves 50-50. the only reason I would even conced such a point is that the fight is in demand by the public. Just don't lie to me and say you'd be screaming 50-50 for both guys had Pac out drew Floyd against Dlh, Hatton and JMM. Don't even try lol...

    Of course Manny deserves a 50/50. Manny is the man of the hour, EVERYONE wants to see Manny. Won titles in 7 different weight classes, he's humble, vicious in the ring. A thing that viewers want to see.
