USA Today: "Marquez is taking home $2 million. Floyd's is still unknown."

SuckaPunch

Money matters:

Marquez's base salary is $2 million for the bout. TV undercard combatants Chris John will get $50,000; Rocky Juarez $80,000; Michael Katsidis $125,000; and Vicente Escobedo $90,000.

Mayweather's purse won't be known until Friday because of deductions, says Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The IRS is expected to attend to collect back taxes. According to Kizer, the agreed upon total is "unofficially $5 million."

cool. Marquez deserves that kind of payday. $2 million dollars or whatever is left after tax and fees should make him comfortable. Good reward for a long successful career.

CrackYourJaw

Marquez deserves more than $2M for sure.

Zarco

i know usatoday is saying this, but i think marquez will be taking home alot more than that in the end.

Sin City

He's taking all the risks in this fight, he deserves more.

Shattered Jaw

Marquez deserves a 60:40 with Mayweather at least after his performances against Pac, Casa and Diaz. Three great fights right there.

NELSON MANDELA

that's the base pay (without ppv shares) if he is getting a percentage of it.
whether he is or not, it does not say.
