After doing some research I'm able now to summarize the World Awaits event in business terms. Here it goes:
I was looking at the wikipedia site and I saw that the gate was $19 mill revenue.
Now the PPV's revenue was around $120 million. DLH earned $52 million according to wikipedia and Floyd earned $25 million.
Here's the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_La_Hoya-Mayweather
DLH got a guaranteed purse of $12 million and Floyd got a guaranteed purse of $8 million.
Here is the link: http://destinations.usatoday.com/las..._oscar_de.html
Mayweather's take might have been $20 million and not as wikipedia has reported $25 million OR wikipedia didn't take into accoun the promoter cut, which is $7,500,000.
