Mayweather: Pacquiao Can Forget 50-50 if Our PPV Wins - Boxing News
Floyd says if his fight with Shane does better, Manny can forget about a 50/50 split and that he wants drug testing to be all the way up until the fight, no more 14 day cutoff. These are the new demands if they negotiate in the future.
Pacquiao and team really have no one else to blame but themselves, IMO Floyd will outsell Pacquiao in any fight, as long as he's fighting a decent name, so much talk of Floyd being left in the "dust" and the one who seems to be barely getting by with promotion is Pacquiao in his fight with Clottey, there's a lot more buzz going on about Mosley/Mayweather, and the fact that the fight isn't taking place till May and that they haven't even started the promotion tour yet, leads me to think that Pacquiao/Clottey is gonna be left in the dust, i don't see how this fight can even match Mayweather/Marquez to be honestQuote:

Why is this "news"?
Contrarily, Floyd can forget a 50/50 split and any drug testing at all if Manny's PPV does better.
Realistically if they are going to fight it's going to be 50/50 or nothing. Neither deserves more than the other
They should talk about this crap after their fights, because the way I see it both have a chance of being beat (albiet a small one IMO)
If this is true, then it's like saying that there in never going to be a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight at all (of course, provided that they beat their respective opponents). I agree that neither of them deserves more than a 50/50 split. With regards as to who gives in to the blood test cut-off date will depend on the success of their respective matches.
It is obvious to me that Mayweather-Mosley will definitely outsell the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. But if the later even gets half the PPV buys of the former, then I'll still consider that a success. Quite a number of advantages are stacked up in favor of Floyd & Shane. They are both well known American boxers fighting on American soil whereas Pac is primarily the one who will carry his bout with Clottey.
And yes, they should not even be talking about a Pac-Mayweather bout until they're done with their respective fights.
To be honest Mayweather is a bigger PPV draw and he only agreed to 50/ 50 as pacs last PPV against a largely successful ppv opponent did well.
Have to disagree there mate, Pac deserves at least 50/50 here's a look at there PPV numbers before and after there fights with Dela HoyaQuote:

The Mosley fight will probably do a couple of hundred thousand more but the same argument for comparing Pac/Cotto - Mayweather/JMM, could be used with the two fights coming up, with Mayweather having the less attractive ppv then and now Pac having the same situation.
But on the other hand you can look at these numbers below and say Floyd deserves more:
Marquez-Pacquiao 400k
Marquez-Mayweather 1.1Mill
Hatton-Pacquiao 850k
Hatton-Mayweather 950k
De La Hoya-Pacquiao 1.6Mill
De La Hoya-Mayweather 2.4Mill
But the timing of these fights had a big bearing, and the situation for instance Dela Hoya v Mayweather was seen as alot closer fight on paper than Pac Dela Hoya, everyone thought Pac would get blown away. Hard to say but looking at all figures 50/50 is fair imo.
It's starting to sound like this fight may not happen. I always thought it was inevitable but not so sure now.
ha ha....floyd should worry about shane cause for all he knows he could get ko'ed( although i highly doubt he even hits floyd more than a couple of times) and then manny would be laughing his ass off everytime floyd's name showed up on his caller id looking for a fight.
Even though people will say there common apponents Mayweather has done more, I think the Marquez fight can be disgarded if Pac fought Marquez after Dela Hoya fight he would of done alot more.
There is lots of arguments really who deserves more but I deffo think 50/50 is fair.
I hope Manny takes the tests otherwise it is very suspicious. Floyd certainly holds the cards with fighting Shane. I hope the fight does not happen because Shane beats Floyd, but if it does happen then I do not know who I despise more. :-\
bit early to start duck...errr, negotiating aint it? :headscratch:
I can understand PBF wanting more of the pie. What I can't understand is PBF looking past Mosley. PBF may not totally understand that Mosley has been wanting him for years now and when someone of that caliber has been gunning for you then that is the most dangerous opponent you can find. Someone of Mosley's make up will study PBF to every detail with iron determination just itching for the chance. Mosley is not one of the young guys who tend to be overanxious. Mosley knows how to stay composed and maximize such an opportunity. I think PBF will be better served not looking at the ceiling and paying all attention to the big pink elephant in the room.
you can also throw in that Barrera, Morales, and Marquez have a bigger fan base than Judah and BaldomirQuote:
