Mayweather claims he made $30 mill to fight Marquez LOL

Am I wrong or this complete fabrication? I heard his purse was $10 MILL minus $600,000 for coming in 2 lbs overweight, in other words 9.4 mill. He said this on 24/7, thoughts? Could be from the PPV revenue. He was guaranteed 15 mil - don't know what his upside was after all of those numbers but no one was expecting 1m + PPV buys.

Floyd is a proven liar, what can you expect from him? I only believe when he say "i don't care for the fans they don't pay my bills." LOL. what motivtion would business week have to report Floyds earnings at $30 mil?? ....actually...don't answer......i forgot who i was dealing with hrer :D

and in 2009 he only fought marquez....end of thread if only it were that simple.....this is prob the 3rd or 4th "Floyd could not have made $30 mil" against JMM thread created in the last 2 months.

guaranteed purse (10 million) + pay per view earnings from 1 Million+ Buys at 59.99 each (total ppv revenue $52 million dollars) http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=22430 + live gate earnings (total live gate earnings $6.8 million dollars) http://blog.mlive.com/mayosclinic/2009/09/mayweather-marquez_live_gate_t.html + mayweather promotions/promoter earnings = 30 million business week reports that floyds earnings for 2009 were 30.3 million dollars....hmmmm interesting Floyd Mayweather Jr. Power 100 rank: 91 Sport: WBC welterweight boxer Age: 32 Most recent notable achievement: Won 40th match (40-0) in 2009 Earnings: $30.3 million Key sponsors: None http://images.businessweek.com/ss/10/01/0126_power_100/92.htm

My thoughts exactly. You know, Mayweather's whole Money persona is so tired. 'I'm the cash cow, I made more money in my last 2 fights than you (Shane) did in your whole career, I'm the flashiest, your biggest payday is facing me, I hold the gate for highest PPV'. Damn, who gives a sh1t, this is a sport, it's a combat sport and all you can talk about is dollars. Floyd should have been an investment banker if he just wants to talk about money constantly. It's frickin annoying. I really hope Shane beats the brakes off this kid. You give a damn for memorizing what he said.

he claims he keeps 100 percent of rev when fights are mad (he makes no payment to promoters) LIES. i think everyone knows mayweather is just bullshitting about the 30m thing, didnt he make around 9-10m for that fight

I made a thread to see if others were as pissed off about his constant bragging about Money. I know he's in promotion overdrive and am not taking anything to heart, it's just a bit irritating, don't you agree? Why do you get pissed off another man brags about "his" money? It's not like he is taking it out of your pocket....is him bragging about it affecting your life in any way??? "Money" Mayweather???

and dont forget about those tickets theyve given for free so the venue can have the impression that its full. and about that ppv, they counted the heads of those who watched in theaters one ppv each and they paid $10-15 a pop. fact! fact is it.....? funny i thought it wasa unsubstantiated claims from a "blogger" Give me a ****ing break. A retarded homo with a keyboard and internet connection does not = journalistic integrity. Hell a real journalist who works for an actual recognised publication does not = journalistic integrity. I guess yoou believe everything you see on tv too??

yeah but thats what sells his fight people find it so annoying and want to see him get knocked out that they buy the fight if Floyd acted like other boxers he wouldn't have the millions he has or be the star he is today so he is doing something right

mayweather bullshitting?? You sure??

it seems like you do i mean you did make a thread about it Floyd is just tryna sell the fight don't take it to heart I made a thread to see if others were as pissed off about his constant bragging about Money. I know he's in promotion overdrive and am not taking anything to heart, it's just a bit irritating, don't you agree?

$10 mil guarantee - 600K....... what your not considering is PPV revenue......given Mayweather promotions would get a slice and it's likely the deal was 65% in Mays favour. 1 mil PV x 59.99 = $60 mil. ...forgot live gate.....prolly $12 mil......so the fight may have grossed about $70 million...... so it is conceivable he got over $25 mil for the fight. His reported earnings for 2009 were 31 mil.....that does not necessarily mean all 31 was from activities relating to boxing. and dont forget about those tickets theyve given for free so the venue can have the impression that its full. and about that ppv, they counted the heads of those who watched in theaters one ppv each and they paid $10-15 a pop. fact!

Floyds an entertainer and friggin gd at marketting, apparently he's nothing like how he is in 24/7 in real life.. That guy makes millions no doubt, whether he keeps it or not is his biz, anyone here gonna see a mill? :P let's just enjoy floyd while he's in the game still coz u kno y'all miss him, haters included! ;D

Am I wrong or this complete fabrication? I heard his purse was $10 MILL minus $600,000 for coming in 2 lbs overweight, in other words 9.4 mill. He said this on 24/7, thoughts? I wish he would come over sometime and make it rain for me.

and the IRS is always watching and hearing all those talk about money hes making and they will be looking for the taxes for that 30Mil, talk about digging ones own grave. LOL! floyd's the single cash cow of THE IRS.

floyd even claims he's straight!!! you can't believe everything that comes out of his mouth! coming from an admitted gay porn watcher :D.........seriously???
