Would 60-40 to the winner of Pac/Money be a fair and effective solution?

    Mayweather has repeatedly said that this fight is easy work for him. Regardless of whether or not that's true, he in all likelihood thinks he is going to be the victor. Pacquiao is always confident, to the point of hiring a victory concert starring himself as the singer.

    Since everyone is tired as **** of waiting for the fight, and the seemingly worst part of this negotiation process-the blood test- has been described to be resolved, is this the best way to split the purse?

    I think personally that this should be done more often in fights. At least in this specific case though, with the two pound-for-pound kings battling for dominance, it makes sense that the stakes get raised in such a way.

    YES!

    I might start a Pacqiuao v Mayweather fight thread including stuff about PAC being on roids and a 60-40 split and who would win and why its not on all rolled into one

    Sounds good to me.

    Maybe 70/30 with a KO

    Fighters always talk that **** but nobody actually follows though. I think the closest it came is when Hopkins bet Joppy 50K he'd KO him and didn't so he paid up. Does anybody know a big fight were they actually did a lion's share to the winner?

    is decent idea not that you have been the first to bring it up but if one fighter hapened to get robbed then its pear shaped

    No, 60/40 is to wide of a gap. 52/48 sounds reasonable.

    This kind of arrangement rarely ever happens. I wish it happened more. Things would be so much easier with regards to negotiations.

    No, emmanuel would end up filing a lawsuit after he loses and only gets 40%.

    Sounds good to me. Except I don't know if this has ever been done before. When you get money involved in outcomes of fights, strange things can happen if you know what I mean.
