$$30 million??????????

he signed a reebok deal before the fight i dont know how much that was worth. anybody?I thought he said during NBA all star weekend that he doesn't have a contract with any shoe company? That's during the tirade when he said that he knew that Manny only made $70,000 from his contract with Nike.

Sounds about right. His share, plus PPV and live gate percentages, and Oscar broke him off a big piece of change to handle his taxes before the event, right?

How did Mayweather get 30 MILLION fighting Marquez when his purse was 10 million and he gave up hundreds of thousands for being two pounds over. Somebody give me the math! floyd is obviously exxagerating.

I'm not doubting that Floyd earned $30 million for the Marquez fight but Floyd's guaranteed purse was only $10 million not $15 million. The IRS then got $5.6 million out of that $10 million. This means that Floyd must have had a huge PPV percentage cut compared to Marquez.

Gross. Floyd's net is not $30m I am pretty sure of that.

These numbers are not from Floyd, they're from creditable websites who gain nothing by lying about Floyd's income. Well first of all its all before tax, and its estimated, so pushing it by a few million here and there gives that "wow" factor. They do it the same with people like Messi and Ronaldo (soccer players), they estimate their earnings on potential and not actual figures. But then again I am not disputing Floyd has not earned anywhere near $30m but he himself would tell you hes earned $50m, thats who he is.

They will not understand shit like that, these dudes drop out of school at the age of 9 just like their hero Manny Pacquiao. C'mon, bro. Pacquiao's had that third world hunger, he did what he needed to do to get by.

Floyd made 30 million. You people are stupid if you think a fighter who gets 100% of his money is not capable of making that much. (1.1 million PPV ) will get you that. Ask De lahoya,Tyson

And you believe Floyd...LOL Floyd mouth is his ass and is ass is his mouth. When he talk out of his ass= Pac is easy work, one dimensional, but he's also extraordinary, must take steroid test or no fight.

These numbers are not from Floyd, they're from creditable websites who gain nothing by lying about Floyd's income. Well according to some all creditable establishment are willing to put their reputation on the line and lie for Mayweather, So yes USADA..Bloomberg business week, Forbes etc are in coalition in keeping Mayweather's name great well expect for the IRS.

Floyd loves to exaggerate, I wouldn't take everything he says at face value. These numbers are not from Floyd, they're from creditable websites who gain nothing by lying about Floyd's income.

Some you guys are so ignorant and bitter, that before you even go on your HATE filled rant against another man. You will not even spend 5 minutes FACT CHECKING. Once again, Here are the facts Provided by me Horus, from the source: Bloomberg’s Business Week http://images.businessweek.com/ss/10/01/0126_power_100/92.htm Floyd Mayweather Jr. Power 100 rank: 91 Sport: Boxing Age: 32 Most recent notable achievement: Won 40th match (40-0) in 2009 Earnings: $30.3 million Key sponsors: None Why he's on the list: Pretty Boy Floyd came out of retirement in 2009 to build on his undefeated record and demonstrate that he is still one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He also would have been set to earn upwards of $25 million had he reached an agreement to fight fellow power boxer Manny Pacquiao. THREAD OVER!!! nuff said, good work, on digging this back up for the retards

$15 million guaranteed + live gate + PPV sales + promoter share + site fee + a lot of more shit = $30 million easily. Floyd cares more about the guaranteed money than the split.

wasnt jmm told tht whatever happened he would get 4million for the fight, this would b gd money 4 marquez cause his biggest was against pac when he made 1.1million. afta marquez 4million was taken out the rest was 4 floyd (the split 4 fighters). its not tht hard 2 believe he made 30million wen pac made more than 20million and cotto made more than 10million for there fight.

Floyd made 30 million in 2009 fighting JMM. He made 30 million, but probably ended up keeping 15 million after he paid Roger and everyone else.

minus - uncle sam's regular dibs minus - the 6 mil he owed uncle sam previously minus - the cable company share minus - oscar & gbp's usual share minus - the money he owed oscar to keep the irs off minus - lenoard ellerbe's share minus - roger mayweather's share minus - his cutman's share minus - his hanger ons share minus - his bodyguards share = NOT GETTING 25-30 MILLION. you want him to minus how much he pay's for rent and utilities and other expenses too? when a bank ask you for you're annual income did you take out the taxes and other money you owe from the figure

He contracted with GBP because his relationship with TR is so bad. Also, GBP has the relationships and infrastructure to make fights happen efficiently. Think of it as you hiring a wedding planner. They will not understand shit like that, these dudes drop out of school at the age of 9 just like their hero Manny Pacquiao.
