Why should manny get the same amount as Floyd?

Because Pac is perceived to be the greater fighter, Pac is giving Floyd a chance to claim he is the greatest of his era by beating him. Floyd needs this fight more than Pac do, legacy wise.

Their 2 closest fights in terms of marquee value, pbf-hatton vs pac-hatton were pretty close in numbers, same as pac-cotto and pbf-mosley.

BTW, you wouldnt happen to be working for Mayweather do you? Its as if you are on his payroll, trying to spread some positive PR for PBF earning more money as if you will get a share of it.

 

good post. anyone with any sort of financial sense knows that Money deserves the higher percentage and has proven time and time again that he is the much bigger draw. Numbers don't lie, therefore, if PacGwire and his team refuse these terms HE is the one ducking Money, not the other way around like these PEDtards are implying.

 

I chuckled a little bit reading this post. That's quite a stretch you've made. The business of boxing has always revolved around marketability and profit.

I hope this fight doesn't happen because of 60/40.

Maybe it will shock the boxing world back into giving fans what they want to see instead of letting individuals dictate the success of the sport.

 

Well what I quoted was entirely opinionated. That person tried to justify Pac getting a certain amt of money through legacy and legacy opinions instead of hard numbers. Boxing purses are split by looking a the fighters' history. I personally don't know what the purse should be, but personally I think 55 floyd 45 manny is about right.

The second line of the post was "From an economic point of view why should Manny get an even split?"

If Pac is "perceived" to be the greater fighter, why is he the underdog?
Also, if fight fans have to make a choice and put there money where their posts are, the advantage will clearly go to FMJ. I think everyone knows this, if they are being honest.

 

dude, outside of boxing and black america, floyd is not a star like someone with his skill should be. why do you think he doesnt have the big endorsements or he couldnt get a name to attend his fundraiser? why do you think he cant sell out in his hometown without a popular boxer to draw them in?
i understand why some of you see him for more than he is because in your little world he is all that. in the big world though, he is just a big mouthed athlete who doesnt know how to act and needs to always be making noise in order to be noticed.
sure, boxing fans cant help but know him and discuss him but the average joe just sees him as an uneducated dumbass who is lucky he can fight or hed be working part time at burger king.

 

The way I see it is Mayweather was #1 P4P he chose to do the dramatic tearful " retirement" facade saying he was through with boxing for good.
Paquaio stepped up & is now rightfully the #1 P4P If Floyd wants to again be classed as P4P#1 first he has to fight & beat Paquaio. The fair split would be 60/40 in Paquaio's favor. But we all know Mayweather would never accept that. So the fair spilt is 50/50 but the winner of the fight actually gets 60%
Its pretty obvious Mayweather will do all he can to avoid having to meet Paquaio so do not expect it to happen

 

Because whilst Mayweather may be the slightly bigger draw in America, but Pacquiao is globally much bigger. I do think Pacquiao brings more money to the fight, with his international exposure, but these are two fighters at the very top, one Fighter Of The Decade and one undefeated, former P4P #1. They deserve 50%.

It's less about their own earnings and more about their opponents. Neither man deserves a lesser cut.

Aside from that, it's just pointless squabbling at this stage. Just accept a deal and fight. Any fans siding with either man, is doing the sport no favours.
