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

Floyd deserves no less than 50:50 IMO, and if anything a higher stake in his own favour. Sweet Pea articulated why very well on the first page of this thread.

Arum gets excited too quickly about making money. He fukd up buy overstating pac/hat ppv numbers. If PBF/PMM has a super mega showing (800k+ ppv), Arum has a tough sell for 50/50 with Mayweather. If PBF/PMM has a less than mega showing (<300k) then 50/50 showing it might be a hard sell to a 50/50 to Pacquiao.

Fighters get what they deserve, not what we perceive they deserve or want. If a fighter can sell himself inside and outside the ring he can do better. Than a fighter that only sells inside the ring.

Marquez is getting the smaller size purse against Mayweather because he doesn't sell himself outside the ring. Inside the ring he shows all heart and that is big sell in anyones book.

GBP, MP, JMMP are all out there selling PBF/JMM fight. Mayweather is hyping himself against Pacquiao to boost the PBF/JMM fight because Pacquiao brings more to the table than JMM. Since the buzz about PBF/PAC is so big PBF/JMM will do better than the original projection. Does PAC deserve a part of PBF/JMM because his name is being used to hype the fight? If they were really smart they might be able to work out a kick back to hype the show even more the same way WWF does (Not sure of it's the right wrestling acronym), but the three seem to need each other to battle Pacquiao, rather than working with him. Or perhaps its not Pacquiao but Arum?

All I know is that I hate these squabbles over purses. Personally I would make it a 70:30 deal and the winner takes the 70! Obviously I am not a promoter....

Screw it, how about the winner takes all and the loser gets a pat on the back?

I think if Hatton gets 50/50 Floyd gets at least that, im sure this fight $$$ wise will make to much for it not to happen, only sticking point might be Floyds ego, becasue he will point to the facts that the same two opponents they both fought on PPV Floyd has done better numbers and no doubt Floyd Marquez will do better than Pac Marquez, hopefully we can do it at 50/50 im sure this fight will generate at least $25 mil each for these to great fighters.
