When is Floyd going to be on this list? I thought he was the most popular. LOL

Yeah it's a great accomplishment by Pac but he made $40 million over the last year and he had 4 fights in that span. Floyd made $50 million for his 2 fights in 2007, and 2 of the opponents were the same so that should answer the question. Pac may have more saved, who knows. Plus I think Floyd earned at least 3-4 mil for WWE (no, it wasn't really 20 mill) and the whole DWTS thing. He made a hell of a lot of money in 2007 but for a boxer, especially one who is not ODLH, $40 million is a great number.

Floyd was the #2 highest paid athlete of 2007.

Fanny Pac will never see that kind of money.

21Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Boxing
Last Year's Rank: NR$20,000,000
$250,000
$20,250,000Pretty Boy is the latest De La Hoya foe made very rich by the Golden Boy: Bernard Hopkins earned $15 million in '04 from his two-fight deal with Oscar.

This list was prepared before the Ricky Hatton fight and those earnings were for the DelaHoya fight only.He then went on to make more money in the Ricky Hatton fight,Dancing with the star and promoted Beyonce's worldwide tour.He also got paid for 24/7 and he was 3rd best paid athlete.At that time Manny was still fighting for $1m.Mayweather has been fighting for $7m and above since after Shamba Mitchell's fight.

Floyd was on that list of Forbes when he was active...not that it matters much but he earned $50 mill in 2 fights whilst Pacquiao earned $40 mill in one year (3-4 fights).

And their split should be either based on their pay-per-views against common opponents or 50/50 split.

Their third common opponent will be Marquez.

with that I think it is safe to say Manny 60/40 split.

and Pac being in forbes means what?? Floyd was in forbes in 07 after his 2 mega fights also. so what point are u tying to make

Floyd throws into a crowd,Manny just gives tonnes of money.Een Arum was so worried he nowes Manny money in dribs otherwise it will be grazed by his hangers on.

There is a particularly fat guy on Manny's entourage,I'm sure he's fat from Manny's cash

lolz @ yard sale

I bet Floyd has more money than Manny Pacquiao though...lol

He has no more money and that is why he came out of hidding. He is on Wesley Snipe status with the IRS.

He can run and he can hide from fighters but he can't run or hide from the IRS.
