And here Cotto is a bigger draw than JMM, its just a question of how much bigger? There are only two real draws in boxing, Floyd and Manny, Cotto is in the second tier if there is one.
I agree with a lot you say here. These guys are not that far apart in drawing power so this fight should just be 50/50. Or 45/45 and 10% go to the winner. But Roach says he is not backing down from 60/40. I hope that is just a bluffing starter number otherwise this fight will not happen because PBF will definitely not take less than 50% from anyone other than DLH. 45/45 and 10 to the winner is the negotiable, and manly, thing to do.
i agree, IMO neither should be getting a 60/40 cut, it's pretty ridiculous that either one of these guys think that they have the drawing power of DLH, i mean Mayweather and Pacquiao are big and have been pulling big numbers, but they've been doing it against quality opposition and other big names, DLH could get a million buys just by fighting Kid Thunder
