Eddie Hearn, AJ's promoter, confirmed that they were willing to accept after discussions with Warren's son George.
He said to iFL TV, "We just returned this morning and we spoke to AJ about the offer. We think, I think especially he deserves more that 40 percent.
"But, he's happy. He makes the decisions. I don't make them. So, I came back this morning to say that we accept 60/40.
"We want this reversed in the Rematch, and rightfully so, because you're champion, and you want the larger split which I believe is fair.
"And we want the fight to be in December. They have Queensberry, who was present at the Millennium on December 17th. That's amazing.
Hearn said that negotiations are ongoing regarding the rights to pay-per view.
