How my deal is structured at this particular time in the sport of boxing, I keep 100% of the revenue, so why would I even give a guy 50-50. At this particular time,
Mayweather says here he can't do 50-50 because he keeps 100% of the ppv, yet he can give Cotto a cut?
Yet for Pac, arguably the biggest name in the sport he has to keep 100% and can only offer a flat fee. Sounds to me like he made Pac an offer he knew he couldnt accept.
Are you retarded? Floyd was the one that offered pacquiao 40 mil.
All pac cares about is the ppv cut.
what about what i said didnt u get, retard? i never said i agreed with it, i just spoke on why itd be different from cotto taking some of the ppv. i
And I'm fairly sure that these top guys are well "prepped" with a variety of answers to what his advisors know he'll be asked about. Even down to "A" lesser amount" and not "THE" lesser amount", which is what most are assuming, although it's not so.
It seems obvious to me, why not to others.
That makes no sense though. The purse doesn't just magically appear it comes for what the fight revenue. Pac wasn't half of the split of the revenue. Which in turn equates to having the same purse.
This comment comes up over and over. I saw the direct quote which was "I am prepared to take a lesser amount"..I didn't interpret this to mean, like so many did, that MannyP was saying that he'd take less than Mayweather. He meant a lesser amount than he was originally expecting. There's no reason why the Fighter of the Decade and so many other accolades of global proportions, would accept less than the lesser known local fighter. He could have been expecting a 60-40 or 55-45 in his favour. He was stating his minimum acceptable amount, which, we later found, to be 50%, his "upset" price.
Why should Mayweather, apart from greed and vanity, expect the lion's share of everything, even when dealing with an equal?
Cotto is cut in on the PPV money, but if Floyd were to fight Manny, he is not?
Says alot doesn't it? Manny with his 10M PPV buys and the highest selling/grossing fights in gate/PPV in 3 of the last 4 years is offered 0%, compared to Cotto who probably doesn't have 3M PPV buys. His fans still defend it though
Meh Bradley got 1mil for fighting Casamayor. Of course that was part of the Alexander deal. Still though 1mil for a shot to pieces Casamayor.
However, the Berto purses were worse. Because, at least Bradley 1mil against Casamayor wasn't cutting into HBO boxing budget. Berto 1mil against Hernandez and other high purses were cutting into HBO boxing budget.
Yea i didnt count it because it was on PPV and its up to Arum to pay him in that case and not HBO specifically
poochiao this poochiao that...if Floyd started a 'i suck c0ck' catchphrase, you parroting f@ggots would be all over itHow hard is it to refer to a fighter by his correct name, whether you like him or not?
vargas 125k for a 10 round non title fight???
although the record holders are probably still berto and bradley fighting bums for 1 mil.
Bradleys only fight for 1 mil was Alexander
Berto on the other hand fought Hernandez for 1 mil for 30 second
Cotto is cut in on the PPV money, but if Floyd were to fight Manny, he is not?
Manny wants 50% of revenue , your take is Floyd said no to any PPV split , you retards get it wrong every time ., Floyd has dealt PPV split in all his fights Manny would be no different , understand what Manny is wanting before you shoot off .
Damn, Quintana and Deandre ain't making **** compared to the rest. I really hope they put on a spectacular match. Imagine if boxing promoters took a page out of UFC's playbook and gave bonuses to the fighters that have the most entertaining match or the fighter that gets a great stoppage, what better motivation?
Canelo doesn't deserve as much as he's getting to fight a faded (arguably shot) veteran
That's the result of Golden Balls' sharp bargaining.
Canelo deserves it. It's Cinco de mayo and there will be a ton of Mexican fans buying this card for him.That's right. Canelo is a real money maker and that's one reason they put him on the card when Floyd fights.
Cotto's guarantee is higher than poochiao's guarantees. Go look up the records, Poochiao has purses listed at 7 million. With some BS story by arum about how he gets way more later on. Arum has his boys working the books and poochiao is too dumb to realize it, he will sign anything. Poochiao's accountants were selected by Arum too.
