If PBF KO's Marquez he deserves to earn the larger % of purse vs Pac.
I disagree. It should be 50-50 or Pac should get more money. It also depends on how Pac dispatches Cotto and the final numbers for both fights.

Floyd's inactivity is my biggest concern...if he comes in rusty after a near two year layoff...Marquez will surprise him. But Floyd knows what is on the table...a future fight with Pac...and he knows Marquez is a great fighter...so i think he will be fully prepared. I have Floyd winning on points simply because he has too much speed and slickness for Marquez to handle.
I agree. Floyd has too much speed and is too elusive for Marquez. I'd be very, very surprised if Marquez wins. I wouldn't be as surprised if Cotto beat Pacquiao.

My belief is the style to beat Floyd is a bigger boxer who either is equally fast or is a volume puncher (e.g. Pwill or SSM). Truthfully, that may not be enough to beat Floyd, but we've never seen him fight someone who possesses those characteristics. He's beat brawlers, counter punchers, and smaller fighters.
