It's too bad you don't get payed in boxing based on how good you are or how much you deserve it.If the world was fair, Marquez would command equal or more than Barerra, but JMM, champ or not, deserving or not, doesn't draw like a Barrera or a Morales. Pacman does. It is what it is. At the same time, JMM is the biggest fight that Pacman can make. He'll make more money giving JMM 40% than he will if he fights Diaz give him 25%.
I have no problem with Pac getting more than a 50% split, because he's the MUCH bigger draw, but he better be willing to give at least 40 or 45. If Manny offers 40%, JMM better should take it, and take it with a smile, cuz that will set him up well win or lose, and if he wins, he's in the drivers seat for his next fight.
