People in the know were saying that the fight was 100 million guaranteed upfront with the potential to gross over 200 million. Manny wanted a 60/40 split in favor of Floyd across the board. It would've been:
Front end: Floyd 60 mill, Manny 40 mill guaranteed.
If PPV, gate, ticket sales made the fight over the 200 million mark, Floyd would've took home 120 mill and Manny 80 mill with the split. Floyd said "NO", take the 40 mill and no back end....which if the fight grossed 200 mill, Floyd would've got 160 mill to Manny's 40 mill, which is ACTUALLY a 80/20 split in Floyd's favor.
Pac said fukk no like anybody else with common sense would say if you're the 2nd biggest star/draw/attraction in the sport, and those last negotiations died.
Anybody that says Manny should've took the 40 mill on an estimated 200 million dollar fight is dumb
Mayweather gets near 100 million anyway, why the fukk should he take a pay cut to please team Manny, when he's hiding numbers n such, whe arum has him on allowancePeople in the know were saying that the fight was 100 million guaranteed upfront with the potential to gross over 200 million.

How would that be right, that Muthafukker Manny has been flopping ppvs left and right hiding his numbers n such while Mayweather is breaking his own records, Mayweather is his own promoter and spends out of his pocket for his events.Spot on as far as the revenue split being the issue.
Floyd controls the cash flow in any fight he is in these days.
Manny doesn't think it's right that he has no control over the revenue split when he's just as marketable a fighter as Floyd is.
People are pointing to Manny potentially earning 40 million. But the way Floyd is handling things, he'd probably make 80 million in the deal.
How would that be right? I can see why Manny would say, screw it.
Fans should have tore Manny down like they would have did any other black athlete for ducking over and over, but they supported this bicthassedness and continued to buy shyt TR ppv's milking every cent out of yall dumb assesBecause the fans want it?
Because the other options are terrible?
Because it's long overdue?
Because it will be a great event for the sport?
Because it can legit make superstars on the undercard?
Because they are top two guys of this generation?
Because there is still a shyt ton of money to be made there?
All of this is extraneous nonsense.How would that be right, that Muthafukker Manny has been flopping ppvs left and right hiding his numbers n such while Mayweather is breaking his own records, Mayweather is his own promoter and spends out of his pocket for his events.
And the biggest issue regarding the fight is someone would still have to pay Arum his 27%, now with Mayweather and Manny both doing in house fights they could start with 100% of the pie, being that it would be a co promotion that leaves 50% for team Manny to eat, well if you subtract that 27% from 50% that leaves Manny 23%. So Arum would be making more than Manny if this fight took place, on top of that Manny also is paying Roach a 10% trainer fee, so that 23% gets cut to 13%, with Roach almost taking home ass much as Manny. The fight just didnt make sense financially for either fighter, there is a reason why Manny quickly and subtly backed off he'll take 45% stance.....
The money just anit make sense Mayweather makes a 100 million just cause and Manny is getting pillaged making for more to face TR hand picked bums
Mayweather last fight 2.2 millionAll of this is extraneous nonsense.
There's no denying that both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are the biggest draws in boxing.
If they are fighting, there is no reasonable argument as to why they shouldn't be taking an equal split of the revenues. (or, at least, as equal as possible).
It's really that simple.

The fight simply has no luster now, the fight would be just as pointless as a Mayweather Khan match, yes Manny very is very much in that category these days
Manny's generation has passed, while Mayweather is still the best running things with no drop off, he's done shyt for 3 years, maybe a after a Bradley and a Prov then the wheels could get rolling, but now, I doubt Id buy....

At the time when these numbers were being negotiated, Manny was not drawing 350,000. So to use that as your example to say Manny is a poor draw is silly.Mayweather last fight 2.2 million
Manny last fight 350,000
So Mayweather should just accept 50/50 to kiss Manny ass after leaving him in limbo walking away from agreed fights, after suing him after his bytch ass refused a test n such, when he makes 100 million a fight anyway
The split should be somewhere around 85/15-90/10
Agree to disagree.There should not be an equal split, Floyd is the bigger draw but Manny is more than willing to take the L on the split/negotiations now. Which is why I am giving him shyt for not making the fight now.
