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

What? Floyd only got $5 million for the Marquez fight and DLH had to pay his back taxes for him :D

floyd will be taking 5? LMFAO!!!!!! hahahahaha so he'd rather take 5 than take 10+ fighting pacquiao or cotto or shane. i thought this guy is MONEY!!!!! with ppv's, Floyd took home a guranteed 10 mil plus 59.5 million.

floyd will be taking 5? LMFAO!!!!!! hahahahaha so he'd rather take 5 than take 10+ fighting pacquiao or cotto or shane. i thought this guy is MONEY!!!!! It didn't say that, it said that 5 was what he agreed to give the IRS.

I read it was 3.2

WWWWWWWOOOOOWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! under paying all mexicans and Indonesian ppl not right when chris john beat marquez and hes undefeated and great to watch

MONEYMAy Floyd will always take a sure thing he will never take a risk. He makes some cash but spends all of it before he makes it he needs to go to finance school he will wind up broke like all the others. What a shame to earn that much cash and still be broke. :wtf:

That's what happens when you use Beristain as trainer & MANAGER. His whole career has been pathetically managed and devoid of major paydays. This might be as good as it gets in the twilight of his career.

didnt they say on 24/7 that "another 8 figure pay day awaits"??

Wow. I think that's pretty low for a guy the stature of marquez. He's the best and most popular mexican boxer today because of his fights with Pac. Damn marquez got ripped off.

Is it 2 mills + PPV %?

How is Chris John, the champion, making less than Rocky Juarez, the challenger? I'd fire whoever negotiated a deal like that for me. Preach on, brother.

I thought it was a 5 million guarantee? Marquez made almost 2 million against Diaz. This makes no sense.

How is Chris John, the champion, making less than Rocky Juarez, the challenger? I'd fire whoever negotiated a deal like that for me.

I wonder how much Chris John made in Indonesia. Huge name over there, it must have ben at least $100,000 if im not mistaken jmm made 30k for fighting john in indonesia. i have no idea how much of a payday john made in indonesia fighting marquez

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. if he does not live in the USA. he might not have to pay taxes

i think this is bullshit cuz this is what ufc fighters make.. somthing is up here...cmon chris john makin less then juarez? n 2 million for jjmm but hes the draw.. cmon.

Why? . Well, I don't think that most of the crowd will be Mayweather supporters. And if it is true that JMM is only getting $2 mill, that's pathetic.

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." http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2009-09-16-mayweather-marquez_N.htm John making less than Juarez is sad.

Wow, man he deserves more than 2mil IMO. Give the man what he deserves.

Those figures are bullshit.
