Mayweather if he decides to fight Manny Pacquiao will get the lion share of the money according to this report from Yahoo Sports.
The sources told Yahoo Sports that not only have the sides agreed for the fight to be May 2 at the MGM, but also on a 60/40 purse split that would favor Mayweather. Mayweather could make in the range of $120 million.
For Mayweather to make this type of money, ticket prices and PPV prices for the bout will be raised to astronomical levels.
The live gate could be upwards of $40 million which would double the previous record. It appears depending on who you believe that we are just waiting for Mayweather to sign off on the fight and according to Showtime he plans to do so.
Spoke to @StephenEspinoza recently. Said as far as Mayweather was concerned, he wants Pacquiao. No Plan B. Conversations are ongoing.

We will see what happens, don’t believe anything until a contract is signed.
