I think the numbers listed were just domestic. I could be wrong. If there international then obviously Hatton played a big deal in both of those numbers. But I think the 825 and 915 or whatever they were were both just domestic numbers.

If they are international then Pacquiao's numbers would play into it very much as well as he has an entire country behind him as well.Originally Posted by OumaFan

Re: Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".
From Dan Rafeal's article about the PPV buys on ESPN.com
"From what my sources tell me, the fight sits at about 825,000 domestic pay-per-view buys with the likelihood that when they're all counted, the total will reach 850,000 or more."
So no that doesn't take into account British buys or the Philippines. I was pretty sure that's how its done so I'm sure that's how it was done with Floyd's numbers too.

Re: Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".
I just did a project in a statistics class on boxing PPVs. One thing that I found is that these numbers tend to vary a lot from source to source. HBO usually releases its official numbers for an event at some point, but even those are ballpark figures.
Any way, I agree this one should fall into the 50/50 category, or winner takes more. There's probably more money in this fight than either boxer can make with a different opponent. Either one fighting Cotto or Mosley would be a big event, but not this big. They're crazy not to make this fight happen - there's just too many dollars floating around not to.
Unless Marquez makes it all moot

not to be fucked up or anything but, yea he has an entire country behind him, that doesn't really mean that its gonna be a big part of sales, cause well the Phillipines isn't really known for being a wealthy country, hell i know PR plays little to no part in PPV sales on any Rican fighters cards, why? cause we watch it bootleg lol thank god for Dish Network lolIf they are international then Pacquiao's numbers would play into it very much as well as he has an entire country behind him as well.

I can't see these 2 camps agreeing to anything.
This fight is dead in the water

Re: Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".
Negotiations will start at stand still with each boxers asking for the lion's share... then they will continue exploring a 50/50 split... then it will breakdown again, maybe dead for a week... then suddenly it's ON with PAC getting 51% and PBF with 49% ... Just like the PAC-Hatton and PAC-Hoya negotiations baby...I can't see these 2 camps agreeing to anything.

doubt it very much, Floyd has plenty of other options out there that aren't Manny Pacquiao, don't think he'll give up his percentage especially if the fight would be coming following a Floyd win over the guy many believe that beat Manny twice, sorry no matter how you try to paint it, neither fighter deserves more than the other in this situation, 50/50 end of, and Oscar still took the bigger percentage against Manny, so don't know what you're talkin bout buddyNegotiations will start at stand still with each boxers asking for the lion's share... then they will continue exploring a 50/50 split... then it will breakdown again, maybe dead for a week... then suddenly it's ON with PAC getting 51% and PBF with 49% ...

Re: Arum: "Even a 50/50 split with Floyd and Pac is utter nonsense".
Basing from Team PAC's negotiating history, I'm guessing they will push for a 51/49 split til the end...doubt it very much, Floyd has plenty of other options out there that aren't Manny Pacquiao, don't think he'll give up his percentage especially if the fight would be coming following a Floyd win over the guy many believe that beat Manny twice, sorry no matter how you try to paint it, neither fighter deserves more than the other in this situation, 50/50 end of, and Oscar still took the bigger percentage against Manny, so don't know what you're talkin bout buddyNegotiations will start at stand still with each boxers asking for the lion's share... then they will continue exploring a 50/50 split... then it will breakdown again, maybe dead for a week... then suddenly it's ON with PAC getting 51% and PBF with 49% ...

Hoya took the bigger percentage against PAC and I think it's about 62/38 but what I'm pointing out is PBF only got 30% in his Hoya fight... PAC got more with 38% as against 30% that of PBF...
