What was the total prize money again ? $300 millions or something like that ?

If the winner can take $200M and the loser $100M, I think we had a better chance of a fairer fight won't you think?

Sorry, I don't follow boxing, just a thought !

From the news, at the end of round 12, the Filipino guy thought he had won too, perhaps a draw is more appropriate ?
The split is not the prize money, it's a price negotiated by the boxers and the promoter. It's business, if the promoter doesn't think the fight could generate that much income, he won't make the offer. That's why they kept postponing it to generate more interest, if it happened 5 years ago, it wouldn't have exceeded 50 million dollars !
