Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".

[XaduBoxer]

PAC is the hottest boxer right now... He should get the lion's share even out of respect for his current status in boxing...

That's not how it works.

When Floyd fought Oscar, he was everyone's #1 PFP, yet he took way less than a 50/50 split, because Oscar was the one who brought more money to the promotion.

It's about who brings more money to the table. When Floyd and Pac sit down to negotiate, Floyd is going to point out that Floyd-Oscar did more PPV buys than Pac-Oscar, Floyd-Hatton did more PPV buys than Pac-Hatton, and Floyd-Marquez will likely do more buys than either Pac-Marquez fight. There's no reason for Floyd to take less than 50/50 against Pac.

Team PAC can always counter PBF's higher PPV numbers by saying that PAC's fights with Hoya and Hatton were during difficult times where there's a current global economic crisis...

Also I think PBF got a lesser purse split percentage wise in the Hoya fight as compared to the reported 38% that PAC got from Hoya... I don't know the purse split in PBF-Hatton fight...
