How should Pac-PBF purse be split?

I think they should go 50/50 but if there is any uneven share it definitely goes PBF's way. Whether we like it or not no matter what the reason is people buy his fights PBF is the proven bigger draw. The money side of boxing has absolutely nothing to do with how exciting the fighters are, who is perceived better, or who is liked more. Who gets more people to buy the PPV is what matters. The numbers side with PBF. The villain gets more people to buy. But I think this fight should be 45/45 and 10 to the winner.

55/45 floyd

Pac will take anything to make this fight happen. Only way floyds not gonna bitch out of this is if he gets the majority and gets to thinking he`s the draw once again

Champion? Who's the champ? Pac? Diamond champ? P4P champ? WBO champ? 50/50, come on there is no way there can be a split for either guy. Neither definitively ranks over the other, there are 2 marquee names in boxing right now and they are 1A and 1B. 50/50 and no split for either guys. Fighting for free?

They do fight for money and they deserve to maximize every bit of their earning potential, if a fight doesn't make business sense, how can you blame a fighter for not taking it? Why would you fight Paul Williams if you are...anyone? I mean it is a fight that makes next to no sense for anybody, it sucks but no one knows who Paul Williams is. Either of these guys, how do you justify signing for the fight for less then half the split? Especially if it's public? No way. 50/50 is the only way to do this in my mind but of course for any of us a 99/1 split is probably more then what we could make in a year multiplied by at least a few. Whatever, I just hope it happens and anyone thinking any one fighter deserves the split is wrong.

Fenster I don't care if you are being sarcastic, my skin literally crawls when I read your posts. Fact.
