Tony used fake numbers for common opponents. Use revenue to determine not ppv numbers…heres both on common opponents

Mayweather de la hoya 140 million in revenue 2.4 million ppv buys
Pacquaio de la hoya 69.5 million in revenue 1.2 million ppv buys

Mayweather vs hatton 62 million in revenue 920k ppv buys
Pacquiao vs hatton 59 million in revenue 850k ppv buys

Mayweather marquez 66 million in revenue 1.05 million ppv buys
Pacquiao marquez 3 73 million in revenue 1.3 million ppv buys

Mayweather mosley 78 million in revenue 1.45 million ppv buys
Pacquiao mosley 69.5 million in revenue 1.15 million ppv buys

Mayweather cotto 103 million in revenue 1.5 million ppv buys
Pacquiao cotto. 71 million in revenue 1.25 million ppv buys

So as tony said we should use common opponents…unfortunately now that the truth in numbers has been put up, tony will no longer agree to this.

If u people cant see its bob arum blocking the fight then your blind.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t pac say he would fight mayweather for free?? So why not take the fight at a 70-30 split?

That’s too low. Its should be at least 55-45 slit. Mayweather has no lost because he choose his opponents and Manny Pacquiao is an eight division Champion only in boxing history) and he do not choose his opponents.

That’s a ridiculous purse sharing. 60-40 is ideal. It just shows that Mayweather doesnt like to fight Pacquiao!!! He’s too greedy!!! It might backfire

Maywather claimed that it should be the same way in terms of splitting as it was when he fought De la Joya the first time. But that was the beginning to make a name for himself. De la Joya was the superstar at that time. Today the case is different and therefore should not be his basis. Pacquiao has made a name for himself too. Although he suffered a devastating loss, he still remain on top as the only boxer to give the sport the highest possibility to make history. If it’s not Pacquiao, will Mayweather be possible to demand hundreds of millions of dollars? And the history everyone is talking about? In fairness, an A+ for Mayweather and A for Pacquiao or its equivalent.

PACQUIAO NEEDS TO BE CREATIVE AND GO ON A MEDIA BLITZ

if he must appear on espn and other leading sports shows, so be it if only to state “BROTHERS ARE NO COWARDS SO WHY IS FLOYD DODGING ME?” and solicit their help so the fight can happen. pacquiao needs to force the issue and make floyd pay a terrible price should he continue to refuse to fight him.

CBS should sue floyd for everything he’s got for refusing to fight the fight that will make it money to justify what CBS paid floyd. I refuse to believe TEAM ASHKINAZI will allow team mayweather`leave them holding the empty bag without retribution.

the reason this fight is that big financially is not just because of mayweather but pacquiao too who is unquestionably more popular as attested by de la hoya himself recently. so no less than 60/40 split is fair enough with pacquiao conceding 10 for mayweather. we can’t base split decision on the ppv numbers because it won’t be fair since the fight was not done in same place. It’s fair If both fights was in Macau where pacquiao fought. Mayweather fights were in US thats why his PPV number is higher which is expected.
