Why don't Pac and May agree that the winner gets 60% the loser 40%?

    I see Lukes and Phillas point its just there is already so much potential (and real) corruption more potential doesn't change the game significantly necessarily.

    But you are already dealing with Bob Arum and GBP for that matter. If you think Arum is going to potentially influence the ref and judges don't you think he is going to do it anyways?

    Especially the ref, because depending on how the ref refs the fight it can affect who gets their ass kicked.

    The potential is already there. No more hiding behind split stalls.

    typical pac-hater response.

    Don't forget who promoted Guzman vs Funeka 1, and Shumenov vs Campillo, and Diaz vs Malignaggi, and Rocky Juarez vs Chris John 1... just to name a few

    Bob Arum has been caught in the past for trying to bribe, philla. I never said any other promoter is an angel. There are no angels in boxing when it comes to money whether it be the fighters or the promoters.

    This is a good solution for guys like Hopkins and Jones because neither one of them are huge draws right now. In this case, win/lose/draw/fan man/whatever the outcome is, FLOYD ATTRACTS MORE MONEY!!!! This is not even debatable, not debatable at all. Money is all that matters in business and all that determines the purse split of the two fighters. Floyd and Pac ARE NOT on the same level when it comes to attracting money to the fight, Floyd attracts more. This is clear and this is a solid fact that is evidenced by statistics from their recent fights.

    does Floyd clearly attract more money when you factor in who they were fighting and when they were fighting them, the promotion and lack of promotion involved, the star power and lack of star power of their respective opponents. You can argue that Pac is the bigger draw, or that Floyd is the bigger draw but the difference either way isn't DLH like. Neither one can fight anyone else and make anything remotely close to the money here.

    With DLH, his star power was so great that the opponent's needed him far more than he needed them, that is not true in this case.
