I still don't get why you guys are so bothered by the idea of a 50/50 split...if the two of them splitting the money for the fight is the only way to get the fight done then I am all for it and so should everyone else who claims to be a boxing fan.
And that is a base purse which means what Manny gets paid upfront before any of the back end money (ppv, gate etc.). Now I am sure he could make a ton more upfront and back end money if he dropped that shyster Arum and self-promoted but anyone who thinks that all Pacquiao is getting for this fight is $6 million is a moron.
so you dudes would rather see the fight not happen just so floyd is making more money?
are you seeing any of that money?
who cares who makes what both dudes will be fine with money
give fans what they want to see

dont even really care about pac vs may anymore its been too drawn out. if it happens then cool if not...
You guys are fukking idiots. No one cares what the split is. If Floyd agreed to 50/50, and the contract was signed GREAT! Hell, he could agree to the lesser end of a 40/60 split...or a flat $50M with no backend...that's his (and Manny's) prerogative.
What we're discussing/assessing is the legitimacy of Manny's demand of 50/50 and the legitimacy of Floyd's refusal. That's why we keep talking about what Manny deserves.
It's a fukking negotiation; we're all on the sideline trying to gauge if one party is being unreasonable. All the evidence suggests that it's unreasonable for Manny to demand 50/50.
Now to you're point; if you want to argue whether a 50/50 demand is unreasonable than it isn't about how much money Pacquiao takes home from his fights but rather how much money is generated overall by a Pacquio headlined fight card compared to what Mayweather does.
So Manny getting $1M more than his challenger in base pay this spring while Floyd got $24M more in base pay than his challenger (with floyd's challenger's base pay being higher than Manny) means nothing?
Again his base pay doesn't mean anything in this argument (which I still think is a stupid argument but you guys are obsessed with this shyt). It is not even about Manny and Floyd doing a 50/50 split; its Floyd and Manny/Arum.
So what comes into play when making comparison to see if Manny is being realistic in his demand of 50/50 is how much money as a whole does a Manny Pacquiao fight generate.
First of all, if you think it's such a stupid argument, why do YOU keep chiming in on these threads?
Secondly, the "50" is referring to Manny's take...so his take in previous fights is absolutely relevant. His (and Floyd's and Cotto's and Bradley's) base is all we have at this point to go off of. HBO, conspicuously, doesn't release Manny's PPV numbers, so can't speak to that.
Plus we all know Floyd is taking home the lion share of his PPV revenue, while after Arum eat off of Manny's ppv revenue he is left with scrapsFirst of all, if you think it's such a stupid argument, why do YOU keep chiming in on these threads?
