    Irony. Marquez would be getting near the equivalent split that Pacquiao would've received fighting Floyd for $40 million. And Marquez scored the KO.

    Marquez requested $20 million and Pacquiao turned down $40 million because it's not enough. What was the last split? Like $20-25 to Marquez's $6 million? I think Marquez was asking for $20 in hopes of getting higher than $6... $6 million is a joke for Marquez fighting Pacquiao.

    You can't compare Pac and JMM's ppv numbers. Plus Marquez can ask for $10M but not $20M.

    Maidana gave Floyd a hard and entertaining fight ( 1st fight ) and still got only $3M ( rematch ).

    Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana fight # 2 with terrible refereeing pro MAYWEATHER (slight clinch, break ASAP LOL), Baldomir, past prime MOSLEY and a weight disadvantaged JMM is a CHERRY TREE.
