Why not 65% for winner and 35% for loser on the Pac and PBF fight?

    They do this all the time in Thai boxing. The winner gets the big payday and the loser the smaller share. Add that with a PPV buy split and this would be a nice pay for winner and loser.

    If both are saying they're as good as they are then why not go this route? Put your money where your mouth is.

    There is gauranted money. Your gauranteed 35% cause there will be a loser. Add the PPV money and its a nice payday. It's pretty simple. The winner of the fight gets 65%. Loser gets 35%. Share the PPV buy.

    Ofcourse if both guys are saying they're as good as they are then let them decide the 65% in the ring.

    Cherry picking will be a trend.

    Why not? They are going to fight to see who is the best P4P King. I know PBF is about money, but pride has to reign with this fight. The purse is going to be huge so why not the winner get the bigger check.

    The fight is not going to happen if PBF is garanteed 35%.

    Throw this out there by the promotor. Whoever cries about it will be the coward. If you want 60% it's all yours. Just go earn it in the ring.

    That's why they now call him Money Mayweather. Something is telling me this fight may break PPV records so the 65%/35% is going to be peanuts next to their PPV cuts. I just hope the fight happens.

    Funny how no PBF fan or Pac fans will respond to this thread.

    It's a good idea that the winner will get the higher share. They can decide what percentage the winner and the loser will get.

    Now, at what weight are they going to fight? Are they going to fight for Pac's belt?

    The belt in this match is irrelevent.

    144 lb would be fair to both side.

    That would be excellant, but boxing dont work that way...You have people that you have to pay and budgets that have to be made. My not just say 50/50 with the winner getting the bigger cut of PPV buys.

    But this fight isnt going to happen, and all the talk in the world isnt going to change that..Arum knows whats best for him and his pockets, and that is keeping Pac away from Floyd just like he has done this far with Cotto...

    "Cotto can become champion without fighting Mayweather, there are better fights out there that fans want to see"

    Would be great in theory, but I highly doubt that's how it will go down.

    But this also isn't a regular fight. When has there been two fighters (granted PBF still has to get by JMM) rated this high faced each other. To devide the best of the best you need this type of purse. The fight decides it and not before.
