"MONEY" MAYWEATHER to make 40-65 MILLION w/ fight MARQUEZ .. (OMG + WTF) !!!

When you apply for a credit card or loan application, do you quote your gross salary or effective salary which would include deductions for federal/state taxes, Social Security, and any benefits you enjoy? Horus is speculating on gross numbers Mayweather may realize. he doesnt understand stand that just ignore him like i did. they dont read, and they dont understand shit.. thats why they post the things that they do..

All post 193 show is how little you understand about business. Just because HBO charge $50 for a PPV doesn't mean that what they give per buy to the promiotion companies. Just because teh promotion companies get a % of the PPV doesn't mean that the fighters get all of that %. HBO probably paid in the region of $5-10 million promotion the fight, they would budget on a reasonable expected PPV numbers and keep a mark up that would return of said 5-10 million + profit of a minimum of 25%, i heard many predictions of 500k buys as a reasonable expectations of teh buys for this fight. 500k buys makes $25,000,000 HBO would want $12,500,000 back (50% of the revenue), leaving $10,000,000 for Floyd (40%) and $2,500,000 (10%)between GBP and Marquez. and that doesn't even take in governing bodies. Even supposing 1.6 million buys. thats $40,000,000 to HBO, $32,000,000 to floyds camp and $8,000,000 to marquez. however, Floyd minimum 10% cut probably measn that if they do over that minimum expected his cut OVER that will reduce, but i'll leave that and address floyds maximum 32 million. Fighters do not get the whole cut. they have to pay TAX, they have to pay training expences, employee in terms of cut men, doctors, sanction fee's. etc. you sir should stick to extentions on boats and stay away from accounting because you fcuking suck at the basics let alone the detail.

Floyd is apporoching being one of the biggest p.p.v stars of all time. Boxing's Top Pay Per View Attractions 1. Oscar De La Hoya - $610.6 million on 12.6 million buys (18 events) 2. Mike Tyson - $545 million on 12.4 million buys (12 events) 3. Evander Holyfield - $543 million on 12.6 million buys (14 events) 4. Floyd Mayweather $355 Million Dollars on 7.15 Million Buys (6 events) (pre 9/19/09) Floyd Mayweather $303 Million Dollars on 6.15 Million Buys (5 events) (post 9/19/2009) Floyd Mayweather $355 Million Dollars on 7.15 Million Buys (6 events) PAY-PER-VIEW KING Floyd Mayweather Jr. was once boxing's pound-for-pound champion, and now he's evolving into its pay-per-view king as well. Mayweather's victory over Juan Manuel Marquez last weekend generated an impressive 1 million pay-per-view buys, HBO Sports announced Friday. The robust result confirms Mayweather's once-debatable superstar status in a sport that thrives on big names in big events. The bout at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Sept. 19 generated a remarkable $52 million in pay-per-view revenue at its $49.95 suggested price, making it the highest-performing event this year. It's just the fifth non-heavyweight event to generate 1 million buys on a list headed by Mayweather's split-decision victory over Oscar De La Hoya in 2007, which had a record 2.44 million. Most credited that performance to De La Hoya, the sport's top pay-per-view draw before his retirement this year. After leaving boxing for 21 months at the top of his skills, Mayweather appears ready to fill the void left by De La Hoya with a love-me-or-hate-me persona that interests even casual sports fans. Still, 1 million buys even surprised HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg. "I'm going to say it's unexpected, but there was always a side of me that knew it was crossing over," Greenburg told The Associated Press. "You have to give some credit to Juan Manuel Marquez's Hispanic fan base, but beyond that, Floyd Mayweather has established himself as a star in the sport. All his work with 'Dancing With the Stars' and the WWE and (HBO reality show) '24/7' has established an image that Floyd projects and that people are interested in." HBO and Golden Boy Promotions attempted to reach new markets for boxing with a pastiche of Internet events, marketing tie-ins and public appearances. HBO also saw a ratings ****e for the four-part "24/7" series leading up to the fight, suggesting Mayweather's persona and fighting skills were the main draw for that surprising number of fans. "There's no question he's got a little bit of that Muhammad Ali in him from the '60s," Greenburg said. "There were a lot of people that wanted to see his mouth shut as well, and you can't take your eyes off him." Mayweather's previous fight against Ricky Hatton in December 2007 generated 920,000 buys before Mayweather took a break during which he danced on network television, pretended to wrestle on cable, and took endorsement deals that raised his profile — although nobody knew just how much until now. Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer anticipated impressive numbers for Mayweather-Marquez on Thursday, saying the fight went "through the roof." "It's big, very big," Schaefer said. "A lot of people didn't believe us. Maybe I've gained a little credibility with my predictions. Most importantly, I hope the world realizes when we release these numbers that Floyd Mayweather, love him or hate him, is today — without any question, no ifs, ands or buts — the No. 1 pay-per-view star in the world." The pay-per-view sales apparently weren't even harmed by Golden Boy's decision to show the fight in 170 movie theaters around the country, a strategy that worried Greenburg. Schaefer said the fight played to about 80 percent capacity in theaters, which were once a regular site for closed-circuit boxing shows. Mayweather-Marquez also scored what's likely to be a clear victory over the pay-per-view telecast of UFC 103, which is thought to have generated only a fraction of HBO's 1 million sales. UFC 103 was a fairly minor card on the league's calendar, yet the two so-called "combat sports" rarely go head-to-head on pay-per-view. now somebody put pacquiao numbers up!

pacquiao vs cotto does 2 million buys. lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From all indications this fight did at least 900,000 homes in America and furthermore could even reach 1.6 million homes. If this is true. THAN OMG AND WTF...!!!

It was a home run that exceeded expectations to become the No. 1 boxing PPV of 2009. The Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez non-title bout drew 1 million buys — roughly $52 million, according to HBO PPV — at MGM Grand in Las Vegas last Saturday, by far the former welterweight champion's greatest showing as the headliner. It is only the fifth time in boxing pay-per-view history that a non-heavyweight event has reached the one million mark.

You Think Floyds going to make $40 million from this fight and you're calling other people stupid? :crazy: :wtf: obviously you dont read... i said could. and i explian also in post #193

Horus, why are you excited about money that someone else is making? I know for a fact that you won't be seeing a penny of it, so what's in it for you? Do you pleasure yourself to the image of Floyd's bank account growing bigger? Unless you are on his payroll, you have no reason to be getting a hard on over money that you'll never see. That is all.

How stupid are these guys really? :chairshotYou Think Floyds going to make $40 million from this fight and you're calling other people stupid? :crazy: :wtf:

Haha beat me to it, but yeah. Marquez was responsible for the majority of these buys. Mayweather didnt even have fans to cheer for him at weigh in. How stupid are these guys really? :chairshot

Real talk the reason why this fight made sooo much $ is because of Marquez. People pay to see Marquez upset Mayweather. The whole 24/7 show promoted the fight really well... The whole piss drinking thing alone made people interested. Mega fights with a Mexican fighter that is most popular at the time will always do great in pay-per views! Mexican and Mexican American people LOVE to watch boxing and will be loyal to their fighters. I believe that Mexican Independence day weekend made this fight even more money because it's a famous weekend to watch Boxing. Mayweather knows this and for that reason picked Marquez as an opponent... Not to mention the fights Marquez had with Pacquiao it just helped the numbers even more! :boxing: Haha beat me to it, but yeah. Marquez was responsible for the majority of these buys. Mayweather didnt even have fans to cheer for him at weigh in.

You're overlooking the people who bought this fight because of Marquez. I'd def. say the Hatton and DLH fans as well as all the Mexican-American fans got behind Marquez to see him KO Floyd. At least half.

im not saying mayweather doesnt do 1 mil plus but we all remember how hatton pac supposedly was gunna do around 1.6 to 2 million before the actual numbers came out.

Everyone is so hooked on Mayweathers cash flow, but i reckon hed rather people minded their own financial business, just like he always tells the journalists.

Why the fukk to people care so much about how much money each fighter makes. They are already overpaid im not gonna be impressed if they make a couple million more

POST #193:bling: sorry, i lost interest at about post #2.....
