If you think Manny should get paid more, why should Ricky make what an "opponent" does. 50-50 is a justified offer by almost all unbiass accounts. Even Mannys promoter agrees.
Sure 50/50 is agreed but if not for all the fuss and demanding he got more the would have tried to give Pacquiao the short end....

It is just all part of bargining....You want 50/50 you ask for 60/40 this way you have something to barter with...some give to appear that you were willing to come to terms....It is a business side...

Hopkins hurt himself a lot early in his career because he did not know how to use such tactics...He wanted X amount of dollars and would not budge so he lost big paydays and some people just refused to even deal with him
