In a world where this fight is actually getting done behind closed doors. This weekend could be the statistics the networks would need to work out the revenue split if Sho and HBO worked together. They could gauge it through how many viewers they get tonight.
Showtime has more talent and HBO has the guy who fought the elites.

Finally a glimmer of hope. Still not sure of Floyd's sincerity, but a glimmer of hope that this can happen excites me. This is for all boxing fans out there. This is a super fight I've been dying to see! I really hope Floyd found his balls. All this posturing will be for naught and will be terrible for both camps if this fight crash and burns.
This is the last negotiations for both.Last edited by Spoon23; 12-13-2014, 09:39 PM.

Pacquiao just said on Philippine news. In Tagalog. Translated in English, "enough talking time to sign and let's find out who is better."
"I will bend to his demands, money ain't important to me just so this fight will push through so I can find out for myself who is better."
It's in the daily inquirer newspaper in the Philippines a Filipino friend told me. Pac is in for the glory of fistic pugilism.

He is willing to bend to an extent just so the whiner won't have an excuse, but if Floyd makes ridiculous demands then will know who the poser is.

Mayweather is a coward, pure and simple, he will only fight when he runs our of other monetary possibilities.
Everything you said is rubbish because Mayweather is set to earn close to a 100 million in one fight...he can not even come close to that against any other opponent on the planet. Financially, they need each other for the PPV and the purse, so there is no way Manny should get less than a flat fee of 40 mill with none of the PPV revenue, that is absurd and laughable.
Not to mention floyd wants the fight at his venue, on his date on his network.
There was a time when HBO and Showtime were even bigger rivals than now, they had to the two most recognisable heavyweight in history, Tyson and Lewis and still somehow managed to make the fight happen in a shared PPV. For all their popularity, neither Pacquiao or Floyd are as culturally relevant or as famous as Lewis was back then, let alone Mike Tyson. And yet, Floyd expects HBO to lose hundreds of millions of dollars on his behalf? LOL gtfo
