How does a guy with Brittle hands make 800 million in a Combat sport?

everybody in boxing has hand problems to some extent. go listen to foreman, he hands are all ****ed up and have nerve problems and chit

no risk, all reward

You should be bothered by the exaggeration. They say he's expected to earn $300 mil from his last fight. How tf do they know? Does that mean SHO won't be making any profit or get their investment back? Dude, they are not exaggerating. These sites have detailed Floyd's deal and how he gets a take from every revenue stream. I'm not saying it's exact to the penny. Of course SHO is making their money but Floyd is also the promoter. He puts the money up front so he gets the promoter and fighters cut. Seriously why aren't you happy that a boxer was able to do this after over one hundred years of promoters, networks and others getting the bulk of the money? It's about time a fighter got over instead of always being on the short end of the stick. right? Hopefully going forward more fighters can do the same.

Dude, no offense, but why does this level of success bother you? You should be bothered by the exaggeration. They say he's expected to earn $300 mil from his last fight. How tf do they know? Does that mean SHO won't be making any profit or get their investment back?

We'll eventually see if those are real. Three years is all it takes. He'll be fighting again, mark my word. Dude, no offense, but why does this level of success bother you?

You people exaggerate things so much. Where do you get this $800 million from? No wonder IRS is after him. Go ahead exaggerate more. The IRS is watching.

ur still at this man? Just having some fun responding to a fellow poster. Nothing serious.

you can see my responses in real time in the rbr thread. I had Floyd losing the 1st 3 rounds and thought he was throwing the fight because he wasn't punching. I had it 3-3 after 6. I had it 6-3 after 9. I thought the "low" blow was ok. I didn't think floyd was letting Conor hit him "on purpose" and I thought had any top ww (spence, Thurman) fought Floyd they would've beaten him. Yes I was happy when he got the KO because I am a huge Floyd fan. I own no TMT merchandise. The pompoms I got when your mom left them after the last game of the season. You don't know how close you were to being The Lil Dunn. ur still at this man?

....be honest though, you spilled your beer and popcorn in your lap when the ref waived it off didn't you... you can see my responses in real time in the rbr thread.

Huh? dude you are seriously retarded. Been around long before Floyd was in the amateurs. It's ok, we know you just got here. don't kid yourself son.... but be honest, you spilled your brew and popcorn when the ref waived it off didn't you... i heard you own the limited edition tmt pompoms...

Unlike you, the 3 of us are actual boxing fans. We've been watching the sport a long time and have seen Floyd and others since the amateurs so we've seen him KO plenty of people. It's just the casual fans and other noobs that picked up the sport once they turned on 24/7 to see 50 Cent hanging with Floyd that don't know his career. You are one of the Manny garglers that became fans between 08-09 that had never seen a floyd KO win. I understand and forgive your ignorance. ....be honest though, you spilled your beer and popcorn in your lap when the ref waived it off didn't you...

check you out..trying to come off like you a vet... take your, bogus, been around since floyd was in the amateurs a** somewhere... Huh? dude you are seriously retarded. Been around long before Floyd was in the amateurs. It's ok, we know you just got here.

i know larry, dunn, and the realpugilist like to wet their pants when they saw floyd get a rare tko... they should offer the fight in hologram so larry can get in the ring with floyd, and towel him down between rounds...

This was on espn and then on the ringer. I read it the other day. I'm not syaing its not news, I am saying what source are they getting their numbers from? It is exceptionally poor writing to write an entire piece without stating a single source. just take all the numbers the media have given us about this fight, theyve gone from stating mac is making 20 mill to some cases a 100. Anyway I'm done with this, I think my argument speaks for itself without a single source in so many pages of replies.

Damn it hits some peoples nerves when you talk about how much money Mayweather has earned during his career. However much money he has made, he did so with Personality but then also the natural, jealousy, hate and envy in some people he used that to his advantage by pissing them off before every fight and taking their Money because they order his fight hoping to see him get Humbled :dunno:

Because of Oscar, and taking advantage of his exposure on 24/7. You can actually make an argument, 24/7 is the reason why he blew up to this level. People forget, 24/7 was a revolutionary idea, and had never been done until the Oscar/Floyd fight. Brilliant move by HBO, and whoever thought of it. Also, I still can't believe Sabretooth is the narrator for that show, to this day. Sounds like a man in his late 40's/50's.
