Golden Boy given green light to start negotiations

The thing that annoys me about internet boxing fans is the way they ignore the reality. Floyd being a bigger PPV draw entitles him to more money, no matter the reason he is a bigger PPV draw (Prob cause he is american) just because you like pacman more and think his in ring achievements are better does not mean that he should get an equal amount of the monety.

It's silly that this fight will probably not happen because Floyd is to proud to accept anything less than he is entitled to.

The smaller PPV draw HAS TO recieve the smaller percentage of the purse.

PAcman is now P4P number 1 without doubt! but he is not PPV number 1 Floyd and Arguably Ricky still outsell him with PPV numbers! so unless they start charging for PPV in the philipines PPV wise PAcman does not bring much to the table!

I mean I am pretty sure in AMERICA even Cotto is a bigger PPV draw and considering that America may well be the only country the fight is PPV in, how can Pac demand more just because he is a fan favourite? what about the majority who watch the fights who happen to be casuals tuning in to see Mayweather and hi big mouth get shut?

If you really want to see this fight we must now be reasonable and realistic.

I'm not sure why you get annoyed? The fact is, if they fight each other we could be talking $70-$80 million to split between themselves, otherwise they will fight Mosley for probably a $10 million share.

It doesn't take a genius to see that by fighting each other they can make more money than in three or four other fights alone. Floyd is all about the money so he says and in that case, regardless of the split, it makes zero sense for him not to make this fight. I think now it can actually be argued that Pacquiao is the bigger draw.
