In other words, how many millions did that one punch from JMM cost him? I mean we have to be talking high into the 8 figures, because I think originally they were going to do a 50/50 split.
Floyd was arguing for the lion's share of any future purse split based on their respective PPV numbers for about a year before JMM sparked Manny. The sparking dropped the fight's overall market value and Manny's bargaining position in making the split but for a long time before it happened Floyd would only have accepted the lion's share of the purse.
