    These guys fuck around very much longer and that giant PPV piece they're counting on is going to begin to shrink. Imagine if either fighter were to actually lose one of their, "bait-fights?" I just can't wait to see a 40 year old PBF take a beating pillar to post from some up and comer. :lol:

    What about 40% each and i get the other 20? I think that's something everybody could be happy with.

    I'm pretty convinced that the PPV pie has already shrunk and is continuing to shrink.

    Not sure if this point has been made already, but there is one very good reason that Pacquiao would deserve more than 50/50. I think they are both worth about the same in the US, in Europe, in Mexico, in South America...except one of them is worth a whole shitload more in far east, especially the Philippines, and that is Manny.

    I don't have any numbers to back this up, and I don't know exactly how much Manny brings in from the Philippines when he fights, but it has to be significant even if it is not ppv, but only the rights to televise his fights for free. Anyone know?
