Floyd: Manny can forget 50/50 split and 14 day cutoff date

[Zilla]

To be honest Mayweather is a bigger PPV draw and he only agreed to 50/ 50 as pacs last PPV against a largely successful ppv opponent did well.

Have to disagree there mate, Pac deserves at least 50/50 here's a look at there PPV numbers before and after there fights with Dela Hoya

Mayweather's Highest PPV before De la Hoya:

Zab Judah - 374,000
Arturo Gatti - 365,000
Carlos Baldomir - 325,000

TOTAL : 1,064,000


Pacquiao's Highest PPV Fights before De la Hoya:

Juan Manuel Marquez Rematch - 400,000
Erik Morales 3rd Match - 360,000
Marco Antonio Barrera Rematch - 350,000

TOTAL: 1,110,000


Mayweather Fights after De la Hoya

Juan Manuel Marquez - 1,050,000
Ricky Hatton - 925,000

TOTAL: 1,975,000

Pacquiao Fights after De la Hoya

Miguel Cotto - 1,250,000
Ricky Hatton - 850,000

TOTAL: 2,100,000


The Mosley fight will probably do a couple of hundred thousand more but the same argument for comparing Pac/Cotto - Mayweather/JMM, could be used with the two fights coming up, with Mayweather having the less attractive ppv then and now Pac having the same situation.

But on the other hand you can look at these numbers below and say Floyd deserves more:

Marquez-Pacquiao 400k
Marquez-Mayweather 1.1Mill

Hatton-Pacquiao 850k
Hatton-Mayweather 950k

De La Hoya-Pacquiao 1.6Mill
De La Hoya-Mayweather 2.4Mill


But the timing of these fights had a big bearing, and the situation for instance Dela Hoya v Mayweather was seen as alot closer fight on paper than Pac Dela Hoya, everyone thought Pac would get blown away. Hard to say but looking at all figures 50/50 is fair imo.

I say if anyone deserves more it would be Floyd. I think the statement is just a ploy to get Pac to agree to what he walked away from. Floyd is the bigger draw, let's be honest, Marquez is not a PPV draw, Miguel Cotto is. Mayweather had higher numbers against common opponents

[InTheNeutralCorner]

If Pacquiao & Mayweather do win their respective matches, don't we want them to meet and settle once & for all who really is the P4P king? And we know that neither of them would give in to a lesser purse. It should either be a 50/50 or a 55/45, 60/40 with the remaining amount going to the winner. Why should we insist that one fighter gets more? We won't be getting a cut from their share. So what benefit would we get from favoring a higher split for a certain boxer?
