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

[OumaFan]

Simple, Mayweather-Marquez is going to do better than Pacquaio-Marquez because Pacquaio back then was not nearly the star that he is now (or not nearly the star Mayweather is now) because the ODLH and Hatton fights made him a star, or at the very least took him to another level. ODLH fights tend to get your name out there. Its not rocket science.

I suspect after the Hatton fight you'd find now that Pac is as big a draw, but that's just speculation but its not baseless considering the bump Pac got from how he beat Hatton and how close they were even before that. Either way, they are close enough for where this is a clear case of where 50/50 would work since there will be so much money in it for both.
