Floyd did argue for awhile about the purse split, but in the end both camps agreed to a 50/50 split. In the end it fell apart because of the drug testing issue.
“The only issue was that we asked for the drug testing to take place 14 days before the fight, and everybody agreed on that except Mayweather. So that’s why the fight fell apart. The 50-50 split was never in dispute,” - Bob Arum.
But you are right, the fight would be huge now but would have been even bigger in 2010 with much more proceeds to share.
So with that considered too I really have to wonder how much money was lost by Manny for not agreeing to do drug testing that he has since done in a few of his fights.
