Are the USA today numbers flawed?

[Steak]

dont multiple people pay boxers?

like HBO gives them money, they get PPV cuts, foreign TV stations pay them to air their fights.

that sort of thing?

Zab Judah made 5mill against Mayweather.

1 million.

1 million.

He said he made 5m.

[Equinox]

when its all said and done, no matter who reports what, both mayweather and marquez will come out with alot more money than reported, the ppv cut is yet to be determined, there are alot of national tv stations from other countries showing the fight, sponsors...and so on.

"I never dreamed I would be fighting for this much money when I was younger," Marquez said. "I just wanted to be a champion and fight the best."

marquez will get well over 2 mil with ppv sales and endorsements (most notable - rockstar energy drink). not to mention the marketing opportunities that marquez been offered, like the at&t commercial. it goes further than the fight itself.

wish marquez nothing but success.

That's VERY weird to me. I mean, Floyd was making 3mill a fight with Arum, this was PPV, 375K PPV buys. All Zab got was a mill? Not saying it isn't true but doesn't make sense to me.

He was supposed to make more but he lost his last fight against Bumdomir, I think the only way he could get the Mayweather fight after losing was taking a smaller purse since he had lost his titles. They eventually fought for a vacant title I think but the fight wasn't as big as it would have been had Judah not lost his last fight.
