How does Mayweather set records in pay-per-view being so hated? I see in every boxing tread, people hating him saying things everyone is tired of listening or reading: "Just fight Pacquiao". Obviously the guy has many fans, I personally like watching his fights.
But I'm interest in how he promotes himself and his fights? I mean, besides the records in pay-per-view, he's the highest-paid athlete in the world.
From what i read he acts as promoter well co promoter in his fights he pays gbp a fee and heassumes all the other risk involved with the fight therefore he takes in a bigger cut than if he was just the fighter and let gbp take all the risk - i think it said he pays the undercard fighters and somehow his deal is structured where he pays everyone upfront like haymon and hoya and he gets all the money after the fight after cable companies and mgm get their cut or whatever
