is floyd jr worth $ 20,000,000?

[Queen_Leia]

Mayweather got $25 mill for Oscar, and nowhere near $20 mill from the WWE. $20 million is not "Mayweather's standards." He only got that because he fought Oscar, who was the draw, and the economy was nowhere near as bad as it is today.

Mayweather PPV percentage up that to 35 million....check Forbes year end issues with the top grossing athletes in 2007....Floyd was the 2nd highest grossing athlete in the world only behind Tiger.

How do you know Floyd didn't get 20 million for his fight with the Big Show...where you their during contract negotiation? please give me proof. WWE and Floyd both said it 20 million so why question that.

This recession has nothing to do with athlete getting paid....A-Rod, Tiger, Lebron and Manning still eat food even in these economic times.

He got like 8-10 mill for the big show, i heard not 20 like he claims. Where is your ****in proof that he got 20 mill for the WWE event, from floyds fake money throwin ass?

[Unknown Champ]

sorry for yelling lol

[j.razor]

he's worth more...he's on top of the mountain...& P4P #1.

Everybody's too concerned wit his $. If he wanted to fight, $ wouldn't be an issue. Let him keep askin for dough like that, he'll just keep sittin on the shelf, which I suspect don't bother him at all.

Exactly. If they come up to him and offer him serious, serious, serious (can't stress that enough) money...then he'll take it, use the money as motivation and get back in the fight game. If not, he'll just keep enjoying his retirement, and it's not like he's eager to get back in contact with boxing fans, it's actually the other way around.

Boxing wants Floyd, Floyd doesn't want boxing. So if they want him, they have to put the money in front of him, otherwise...he's not budging, and won't feel one bit bad about it.

$8,000,000 guaranteed is too little to bring Floyd out of retirement, $20,000,000 guaranteed is just too much to offer... if they negotiate maybe they could meet somewhere in the middle (e.g. $14,000,000 - $15,000,000).

That's sounds reasonable considering Floyd's status in the game and the magnitude of the entire event.

No doubt he'll stand to make much more than that.

And most people are forgetting that the tax man always takes a big chunk of the purse.

That's why Floyd may be asking for so much.

Floyd says a lot of things. Vince Mcmahon was asked if Floyd would get $20 mill and he said he couldn't confirm that, meaning he didn't. I think you should check the Forbes list because Oscar is number 2 and Floyd is in the 20's.

The recession doesn't have anything to do with boxers income? Wow.

[BetterCallSaul]

Not guaranteed, no.

He is a pretty boring fighter.
