A snippet off Btalk
GL: How has the deal been structured, is it a straight percentage across the board? Or is it a situation where you're getting a fee and something off of the back end?
SM: I get a certain amount of money, and I get something too off of the back end. I keep probably about $15 million, it's pretty good.
Wow... didn't expect that...
i agree. if mosley is getting a 15 million guarantee, if this shit is true, then floyd has to be getting around 30....
GBP must be expecting HUGE numbers for this fight.Manny's fight will do under 1.1 million buys and Floyd's fight will do over 1.5+ million buys.
Everyone is going to pay to watch Floyd's fight. Floyd fans won't buy Manny's fight, but the Manny fans will pay to watch Floyd.
Floyd fans, SSM fans, Manny fans, general boxing fans, and Floyd haters will pay good money to see this fight. People pay money to watch Floyd win or lose.
GBP is expecting anywhere between 1.5-2 million.
No, he got at least $15 million from fighting DLH and they didn't sell millions of PPV.
No way in hell Mayweather would fight SSM for $15-20 million. He fought JMM and made over $20 million in one fight. Why would he risk his future earnings by fighting SSM for $15 million, when he can fight a tomato can for $10-15 million?
Mayweather is going to end up making over $40 million. He fought JMM and JMM made $3 million and Money made over $25 million.
Money can easily make over $40 million if the fight sells over 1.5.

I don't believe he is getting 15 million dollars either. I think he will get between 8-10 million and Mayweather like 15-20, probably the back end.No, he got at least $15 million from fighting DLH and they didn't sell millions of PPV.

Arum is a ****ing leech, 1 mil for Clottey? He promotes Clottey as well as Pac he should be trying to get the best deal for him, but because he's promoting both fighters he don't care because he gets his pockets filled anyway. Arum is a cunt.
He just robs you of your soul.
i don't know...i think i'd rather be beaten up...marquez and hatton got embarrassed...literally nothing they could do...they just got handled and had to face their fans after with a sad face...at least if you get beat up like pac did cotto...you can say you gave it your all and went out like a champ...hatton said he felt like committing suicide...
He robs you of your soul like "Remind my soul" puts it, He robs you of your confidence, The most difficult thing in boxing is when you cant land shit or when all your punches keep missing and hitting pure air.
Most of Mayweather's opponent dont realise how difficult he is to pin down and hit clean until they get in there with him.
But Mayweather isnt a killer you would beat you up like cotto use to do when he fought people like "Quintana" or "Judah"... He would beat you but you would still feel okay at the end of it and the fact that you would be getting your biggest payday would soften the blow.
Mosley's purse for the 147-pound fight will be his "biggest ever," attorney Judd Burstein said, declining to reveal terms.

Am sure Mosley would have got less fighting Pacquiao, Good for Mosley and i wish him good luck, Even if he loses he isnt going to be beat up in anyway because Mayweather doesnt really beat you up.

Where can i read the full interview?
You have to have a boxing talk.com account..
This fight isnt signed yet,and if it does get signed I cant see there being 40-50 mil to split. The numbers dont add up.
Well, Mosley gets his cut, and Floyd gets the rest?
LoL shane isnt making 15 mill. And clottey doesnt deserve more than a mill, dude hasnt sold a ticket his entire career. This fight is lifetime opportunity for him. And mosley making 15 mill is complete non-sense.
I'm sure you were present for the negotiations
I don't believe he is getting 15 million dollars either. I think he will get between 8-10 million and Mayweather like 15-20, probably the back end.
I think he is getting around 8-10 mill gaurantee, a cut of the gate, and a cut of the PPV. 15 mill is everything put together.
Mosley got $15 million and Clottey got $1 million, smh.
cool.....Shane EARNED this type of pay day!!!.....the money is cool, but winning the fight would be the shit!!!.....dam I'm amped up....haven't felt like this in a long time!!! :crazy:
i second this...
happy for shane he derserves it,floyds the man,he gave jmm a massive pay day and now ssm,no wonder everyone calls him out.good lad floyd keeps helping his fellow boxers
Clottey's not a draw at all.
Shane is a dance partner for Floyd.
He wouldn't make the big numbers without Mosley or Pac headlining.
he did a million buys with marquez, for crying out loud... :nonono:
I guess Floyd got 25 Million or 30 Million.
Jesus.
i was gonna say the same thing. but i doubt mosley is getting that much. 15 million is probably close to double what the guy has ever made for a fight.
pretty good...that ***** ain't made that in 3 years worth of fights...he ought be all smiles the entire match...even as he picks himslef up off of the ground...
Mosley got $15 million and Clottey got $1 million, smh.
Clottey has a deal with the devil, Mosley just works with the devil.
Floyd will probably make the same amount of money he made fighting JMM. Alot of money but on a risk scale of 1 to 10 Mosley is a 9 and JMM is a 3.
I'm trying to say this fight will be bigger then the Oscar-Shane fight.
Not because of Shane, Floyd is the A side here
Your the one who said you'd be surprised if it made 1.6 mil.
Even if does 1mil it will do better then the Oscar fight.(vs Shane)
Recession and all.
You said that the fight had no chance of being bigger then the Oscar fight(vs Shane)
Oscar's the bigger draw clearly. (Floyd-Oscar 2.4)
But that was never the argument.
It was me who said I would be surprised if it did 1.6.
I know you did.
I just said that
Whats your point?
What are you attempting to prove? That Shane could pull more than Oscar, while fighting Oscar?
Because I'm not sure any sane person would argue that Shane ever had near the PPV pull that DLH had.
