This is what I dont understand. Why should Pacquiao get the lions share?

In their 2 common bouts (against Oscar & Hatton) Mayweather's sales were double that of Pacquiao's. I'm not saying that Mayweather generated the buzz, because it's obvious Oscar & Hatton did more than their share. But shouldn't the fights with Pacquiao have blown away the numbers Mayweather did with the same guys? If Pacquiao brings more to the table than Mayweather, his fights with Oscar & Hatton should've crushed Mayweather's numbers. But he did only half.

The bottom line is profits and Mayweather does have more of a claim to generating more profits against their 2 recent common opponents than Pacquiao has.

We can say Pacquiao is the cash cow, but in black & white Mayweather has the proof. Mayweather's last 2 fights sold better than Pacquiao's last 2 & they were against the same 2 guys. Hard to deny facts.



But also, even though it's difficult to dispute facts, Floyd has been gone for what? 1 1/2 years? Manny's been making more of a household name for himself, and now here comes Floyd wanting to just come right back where he left off. I don't think he deserves to just pop back in and demand more than Pac; past records for PPV or not. Should at least be 50/50; and I'd find it just fine if Pac got 60/40. That's just my take on it. And Manny sure as hell beat those 2 past opponents of Floyd in much more convincing fashion; people remember that as far as deciding who is more entertaining{casual fans at least}imo.
