Paulie might actually be the biggest puncher he's faced soo far, compared to matt hatton, tata baldomir, baby cotto, lovemore. He's doing exactly the right thing to prepare for the upcoming beatdown from manny pacquaio:facepalm:
damn, floyd is straight lying in that interview.
He said Al Haymon never heard anything from Pacquiao's side. Greenburg already proved there were negotiations.
Second he said the reason they didn't fight was because Pac wanted the 2 week cut off date. Well how the fuck would you know that if al haymon supposedly never talked to anyone from pac's side in the first place?! lmao! anyways, 2 week cutoff was good enough the first negotiations, not the second? Really that's the reason? I thought it was because floyd was on vacation and wasn't even thinking about boxing? It's funny to me he has all these excuses NOW but months ago wouldn't even speak on pacquiao. Once pac is signed to fight he can talk for days.
yeah "between arum, me and richard shaefer", mayweather is his own boss and his advisors are al haymon and leonard ellerbe, what anybody says regarding floyd holds no merit at all, its like asking lou dibella(who use to promote pacquaio) how to make pacquaio agree to the drug testing its got nothing to do with him, if mayweather does fight pacquaio any money says it'll be under Don King and on showtime/CBS nothing to do with either greenburg or richard schaefer
lol so juanma is bigger than juan manuel marquez according to arum, yeah juanmas a celeb in puerto rican communities but thats mainly down to felix trinidad and ivan calderon backing him publicly
I called Floyd Cotto when everyone was saying it was a walkthrough, I called Pac Cotto when everyone was saying Cotto wins easily, nobody knows Cottos boxing better than me, im tellin u know Cottos gonna force him to come forward and then assault the c*nt
32 MIL is his guarantee NOT his base salary. That includes all sources of revenue. Where do you think the 32 million is coming from? It comes from PPV. Other fighters, Pacquiao for example, get a BASE salary, plus PPV and gate receipts.
Let's say the fight made generated 125 mil, 85 mil is roughly 2/3 of the total revenue generated.
Nobody takes that large of a percentage.
Floyd puts his own money up front to cover expenses. So even if he did make, let's say 60mil from the fight. That's still a return on 20-25 mil of the money he put up.
So even IF his cut was 85 mil, which it isn't. You would subtract the initial investment he makes, and then the money to pay his team, cotto, other fighters, santioning body, etc. So even if 85 mil is the percentage that goes to Floyd, again, which it is not, he'd take about 60 mil. Not a bad payday, but not 85 mil.
If 1.4 million or 1.5 million fans buy the fight — which is expected — Mayweather will make about $40 million, Schaefer said
^^This was stated about the Ortiz fight. But I'm guessing that applies to all of his fights, based on the context in which it was said.

Also, I don't think Floyd has sponsorships that pay out, but I could be wrong. However, if he did, it wouldn't be no 25 mil gtfo
No you imbecile the 32mill was before the ppv and also I know floyd said in espn interview hes getting 20mill fromsponsoships vs marquez, the 25mill cotto was just a realistic rumour
I dont think theres any arguement that Mayweathers earnings are in a different bracket to what Manny makes just add up their last 5pay days its not even close
Pacquaio totally targeted Cottos lack of a right hand that night, he stood outside cotto's jab and many times even went directly into Cottos right hand knowing Cotto cant do anything to him on either side as long as he avoids being in range for the left hooks and jabs
Roach says the most retarded things, he just makes up stuff that doesn't make any sense. Like the reverse psychology that Mayweather has more ware and Pac is more fresh, yeah ok Freddie!
But this is just a retarded thing to say as a coach of Pacquaio
I HOPE this event flops commercially. We already have the fight, ITS DONE. It's happening. Could care less if the fight does less PPV's than Mayweather-Canelo.
This is gonna smash mayweather canelo. People all the way in Australia that never ever speak about boxing even know about this fight. Had a group chatting at work and they've never mentioned anything boxing ever
He's on my prospect watch. He's very well rounded.
From what I've noticed though is he's not very well liked by the British. Wierd.
nobody likes a guy whos a multi-millionaire and didnt have to do anything for it
