Forbes said floyd could pocket up to 250million over the next 2 years with PPV and the contract he just entered.
$250million
Over 2 years.
$125millons a year
$10400000 a month
$342465 a day
$14269 a hour
$237 a minute
He takes a 5 minute sh.it and makes $1185.
He sleeps for 8 hours makes $114152.
Dam.
when the deal was announced they said it could be the biggest deal in sports (if he fights all 6 times). the biggest at the moment is a baseball player who makes 27.5million a year over 10 years which means this deal is worth more than 275million dollars
So, let me get this straight. The guys you consider to be risky killers are:
1. the guy who most believe lost three controversial decisions to Juan Manuel Marquez before being knocked out cold in a fourth fight with one punch by JMM; the same JMM that Mayweather toyed with for 12 rounds after coming off a 2.5 year layoff.
2. a guy who holds a 154-pound belt, but has never fought and beaten a legitimate 154 pounder, even though he has defended his belt several times. The same guy whose promoter, Richard Scafer, is doing everything he can to avoid putting him in the ring with a legitimate 154-pound champion named Austin Trout.
3. A guy who almost got knocked out by a marijuana-smoking, lazy, undisciplined and protected fighter after schooling him for 11.5 rounds. The same guy who got knocked out by Antonio Margarito.
If you think these fighters are risky killers, you probably believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
They say GGG can still make 154.
I can name 3. Pac, Canelo, Martinez

And to think that Pac is still fighthing for Bob Arum for $6 million guarantees per fight and a cut of the PPV revenue. Pac is probably kicking his own a.ss right now after hearing about the deal that Mayweather signed and realizing how stupid he was to stay with Arum.
Manny needs to leave Top Rank immediately. Bob Arum is a greedy son of a b1tch.
someone will finally get his rematch...

Oh, really. Is Alvarez scheduled to fight a rematch with Baldomir on May 4 instead of Trout? I am sure Richard Schafer would love to make that fight instead of putting Alvarez in the ring with Trout.

Good for him, but why doe it matter so much around here how much he makes? As a boxing fan, I just want to see him fight.
As a practical matter it has no real meaning to a fan how much money Floyd or any fighter makes, however his contract should be noted because it says something about the sport. That a boxer can command such princely sums is a sign both of the health of boxing and portends well for a sport that many have said is fading.
I think Floyd wanted a long term guaranteed $ contract and HBO didnt see the high ppv potential with the remaining opponents out there for Floyd. The only fighters Floyd can face that will pull in 1mil+ ppv buys would be Martinez, Canelo, and Pac. Of the 3 only 1 of them (canelo) is a slight possibility and with Canelo facing Trout in May, there's no guarantee he will win in order to setup a megafight in Sept. I've said it numerous times. If HBO let Floyd walk it musts have been for a good reason. Dont see them wanting to lose money by not broadcasting his fights.
I don't know if what you're talking about factors in, we have no idea what the Showtime deal is, maybe HBO just got out bid plain and simple? HBO has deep pockets but maybe Showtime came to the table prepared to lose money short term in order to secure a stronger future foothold in the sport. Showtime may well end up losing money in the deal but until they do there's no downside to having boxing largest attraction on their payroll.
The genius of a promoter is selling what is as if it isn't as it seems. So far, Mayweather has managed his boxing career brilliantly doing just that, now that he's 36 I think his business acumen is really going to be tested over the next two years.

They based that on absolutely nothing. It was pure speculation.
That's an average of 41 million a fight, to be honest it is not that different from his current set up so maybe HBO were not willing to offer him the same guarantee for fights in the future.

Tyson/Klitschko would do astronomical PPV numbers. He'd not only make the biggest pay days, but his prime would run MUCH longer, with all these bums at HW.
Yes true that. The thing is he generated so much money no matter who he fought. People would just buys his fights not even knowing who he was fighting. Its the just the violent manner in which a 5'10' heavyweight was taking these guys out.

That's why I doubt that number. Floyd made 85 million from two fights (Ortiz,Cotto). I honestly doubt he will make less per fight now that he is with showtime.
Imagine how much a Tyson would be making today, if you consider inflation, social media, etc.
Back whe he was fighting they were predicting that he was going to be the first athlete to crack the billion dollar mark.

The deal is worth more than what's been reported.
