pac vs mosley vs pbf.

I can totally understand your point too mate, but the money side of things is unfotunately not about performances it as to be about revenue.

I mean the reality of it is Boxing is a business like any other and the fighter bringing in the most money (Not the most popular) should receive the lions share of the cash. When PAcman fought ODH he was a better fighter than ODH, he was P4P 1 etc but ODH got the lions share as he was the bigger PPV draw.

And it was the same again when PBF fought ODH, PBF was the better fighter etc, but ODH as the bigger draw and commanded more money.

Pac is huge but as a PPV draw nobody fighting at the mo is bigegr than Floyd why woud he sell himself short to please a few keyboard warriors?

I dont think he would be selling himself short by breaking even with the man who took over his spot as the p4p best and has achieved what Manny has recently, and he wouldnt be pleasing a few keyboard warriors by agreeing to 50/50 and just getting on with it, he would be pleasing every boxing fan in the world. Yes boxing is a business, and wether or not a fight gets made these days depends on what happens at the negotiating table. Floyd will no doubt demand the lions share because, like you said, he is the bigger PPV draw and thats just a fact. But what im saying is, Pacquiao could make a case that if Mayweather wants the chance to prove to the world that he is the best and get his p4p no1 spot back, he has to agree to equal terms. Which imo is a good argument for Pacman. Thats all i meant, i dont really care as long as the fight happens.

Ok the P4P status is mythical and does not equate to real money. I'd happily let someone say they are P4P better so long as i get more money. People get the fanfare and the business confused. the most importanmt thing here is money.

The P4P list may be mythical, but the fact is people use it to determine the best fighters in the world and thats what makes it viable. Its fanfare that makes the PPV numbers in the end, and in that respect Pacquiao is easily on par with Mayweather. I would also let someone say that they are the best for more money mate im with you on that one, but this is Mayweather we're talking about. Everyone knows that Floyd is money mad, but hes also a fiercely competitive athlete that is used to being universally regarded as the best. Now hes not, its bothering him, which you can see from recent interviews hes had.
