How should the money be split???

[fadan80]

Winner takes all

[Sin City]

Winner takes all

that's my kind of deal.

[Stoppage]

I think they should do like Hopkins and Jones did. 50/50 by decision and 60/40 to the winner by knockout.

[mrlopez]

Floyd & Manny = 55/45 Floyd ... I think this gets the fight done.
Manny & Shane = 65/35 Manny
Floyd & Shane = 65/35 Floyd
Floyd & Cotto = 65/35 Floyd



What does everyone else think?

FMJ/Pac-50/50 or no fight.......

[L.Ellerbe]

Pacquiao is a PPV success and he has beat Floyds common opponents much more impressively, not to mention he does much better at the gate.
While Mayweather vs Marquez failed to sell out, Pacquiao vs Cotto sold out in a matter of minutes.

LOL mayweather beat de la hoya at 154 in a small ring with reyes gloves

he beat an undefeated hatton

pacquiao had oscar at 147 looking like a zmbie and fought hatton after floyd had demolished him

floyd sold 1million ppv's vs JMM and is the all round biggest name

the split should be 60-40 mayweather

[Pullcounter]

Mayweather is the bigger draw and should receive the better share.

against alvarez.

Manny & Shane = 65/35 Manny
Floyd & Shane = 65/35 Floyd
Floyd & Cotto = 65/35 Floyd

Pac will only fight him if it's 60 for Pac.

Pac knows it, Arum knows it, everybody in Pac's camp knows this.

Either that or gayweather can suck ellerbé's balls and fight Mosley or COtto or any top welter.

as crazy as it sounds I did the math on this based on PPV sales. Taking Floyd's last three PPVs (where he started becoming mainstream) and Manny's last two with an added 1 million buys for Cotto (to be fair) it went like

Manny vs:

DLH: 1.25M
Hatton: 850K
Cotto: ~1M

3.1 Million buys

Floyd vs.
DLH: 2.4
Hatton: 850k
JMM: 1M

= 4.25 millions buys

Manny does about 73% of Floyd's numbers

~58-42 Floyd

now take the live gate

Floyd:
DLH- 19M in sales
Hatton: ~10-12M so take middle and say 11M
JMM- 6.8

36.8M in live gate sales

Manny:

DLH: 17M
Hatton: 8.8M
Cotto: hmm should be sold out like Hatton Mayweather so lets say 11M

36.8M in projected live gate sales

50-50 in terms of live gate not the expected "Manny does so much better at the gate" that some are thinking

IMO with the numbers given

56-44 in Floyds favor seems fine

makes absolute sense, numbers-wise E but i highly doubt PAC will take 50 or less...he himself is a diva when it comes to negotiations

[Pullcounter]

50/50 or floyd has to fight mosley
