Floyd Mayweather Receiving $40 million from Ortiz fight

oh lord here we go again. floyd is set to retire after this fight. pac fans should rejoice in saying floyd ducked pac. Thats what im worried about, Floyd retiring again. The powers that be, must put a stop to the possibility Floyd could get paid this much.

I've never bragged about Floyd getting $$$ like some of his stans has, but damn that's alot of money if it's true.

He wont be guaranteed that, how will the fight generate enough money for everyone to make a chunk if thats his guarantee? I know hes a big draw but still an Ortiz fight wont sell THAT well.

If true: Damn that's a lot of money, i mean, you shouldn't even pay him that much lol, I'm just sayin, if Floyd receives 40 for Ortiz, his expectations for Pacquiao will be A LOT higher, your setting yourself up to lose by giving him that much money....but today, right now....that's some good sh*t. This is what I dnt get about fans. Why is it a big deal when the OBVIOUSLY generates this and more? Shouldnt the Fighters get the majority of the generated revenue? If the guy generates this sum when he gets in the ring, what is the problem?

so how much will ortiz get? the real winner is GB though Oscar and schaffer are the real ones getting paid Not exactly! PBF is getting a big cut of gate, ppv, and sponsor revenue. PBF and Haymon encroach on the traditional network and promoter profits with every fight.

Please dont let him get that much. ^^^^^^ Definition of a hater.

Sources say GBP will soon confirm that Floyd is receiving a historic figure of $40million before PPV. If true: Damn that's a lot of money, i mean, you shouldn't even pay him that much lol, I'm just sayin, if Floyd receives 40 for Ortiz, his expectations for Pacquiao will be A LOT higher, your setting yourself up to lose by giving him that much money....but today, right now....that's some good sh*t.

I'm not overly excited about this fight, because I already know the outcome, but atleast it's for the Real Welterweight Title and not none of that Catchweight Bullsh*t....

Pacman is afraid of drug testing. Props to Ortiz ! Everytime you bozo's spout that bull**** I will post this as the best retort.

danrafaelespn Dan Rafael I will say this -- Mayweather against Ortiz is a helluva lot better fight than that Pacquiao-Mosley crap. @NYPost_Willis

any idiot can write here..damn..that is not true....period...may will make 10 mil tops!....bets? who is gonna bet you with your puny 50 thousand point. Get you weight up little guy.

I'm all for boxers making good money, it's a rough brutal sport. But the problem with Floyd making this much is that he's gonna go on another one of his vacations again after. And if/when he comes back, he can make another 40m against someone he should win against. I know it's hypothetical but we've seen it before. Yes. I don't know why some fans are making a big deal of this when huge amounts of money makes Floyd inactive. Fans want to see May/Pac eventually. Awarding Floyd this much money makes this fight even more hard to happen. The result has always long vacation for Floyd. Unless Floyd fans are content in the impression that Floyd has been ducking Pac. :usa2:

..and I guess this is why he is the Cash Cow.

Why are u guys believing everything you hear? No valid article is here to back it up. Steve Kim is a reliable source.

any idiot can write here..damn..that is not true....period...may will make 10 mil tops!....bets?

Consider these two things 1. There is mentioned that there will be usada testing 2. Also that Floyd will make 40 mil for this fight. With those two things being considered if floyd makes that much for fighting a still relative up and comer in ortiz he can make a claim that his market value is worth close to 70 or 80 mil to fight paq. I think you offer him that amount plus the drug testing you got it. But i don't think anyone else would be willing to do what would be necessary to accomodate him. and if he gets this much for Ortiz then clearly THEY need to meet HIS needs. Floyd even mentioned during his first retirement that he really doesn't like boxing (rewatched hatton mayweather) he looks at it as a business I know alot of people don't like that because everyone wants their fighters to be these gutsy fight anyone type of guys. But that is not him. and hate him or love him he knows the game of boxing just as well as anyone else in the sport and is using that to his advantage.

You mean Mayweather will never fight Pacuiao if Pac never takes the test...I agree 100%! If he was interested in fighting Pacquiao he would have been ringside at the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight, not Ortiz vs Berto. Lets rememeber Floyd is chasing Ortiz here, why is he not making a play for Pacquiao? It plain to see he doesn't want the fight. Petterson out boxed Ortiz. Ortiz is a game fighter, with a decent punch and great work rate, but technically he is not great, not on Pacquiao's level, not even on Cottos level or even Amir Khan's level. He is also very green. It is a cherry picked fight.

Why are u guys believing everything you hear? No valid article is here to back it up.

Why should Floyd fight Pacquiao when he can make easy money taking on fighters he knows he can beat. If the fans really want Mayweather vs Pacquiao they should boycott this fight. Mayweather will never fight Pacquiao as long as he can make an easy 50 million fighting fighters on Ortiz's level. You mean Mayweather will never fight Pacuiao if Pac never takes the test...I agree 100%!
