Mayweather Should Get The Most Money, Says Schaefer

[TOBYLEE1]

The more money Floyd makes the bigger Shaefer's cut is gonna be. And how does he knows how many buys its gonna generate, talking straight out of his ass. HBO 24/7 is one great marketing tool that gets the common fans and none fans interested in the fights. But it is a matter of time when fights like the Floyd/Marquez don't live up to the expectations from the 24/7 that it won't have the effect that it has been generating

Just wondering if the sales got jacked up because of the fight being brodcast too at the movie theaters? Hmmm... makes you wonder?

quite a lot were really flustered to hear 1 million ppv hits.
yet until now there is no report on theatre gate receipts/heads.
what a shame if both numbers were combined = 1M ppv!!

i am sure pac-cotto will make more than floyd-jmm.floyd has no real pull on fytfans, he's got small fan base!
those who watch floyd fyt have other things going in their mind....curiousity and wondering among other things.

Cmon, do you actually believe this?

of course i do!!
and i bet all your 5K on this.
accept the bet and sig it now or send me a p.m.

we learned last year that 24/7 doesn't automatically equate ppv success. Calzaghe-Jones was so far below expectations that even the money spent on marketing wasn't fully recuperated.

I'm not even sure how much it helped for Mayweather-Marquez. Well beyond 24/7, they marketed the hell out of that fight like no other (with the exception of Mayweather-de la Hoya).

And I have to say, while Pacquaio-Cotto has built-in buzz, I don't see the marketing for the fight being anywhere nearly as aggressive as the 9/19 event. So far, Arum's doing a lot of talking, Cotto's sending home sparring partners and Pac's camp is allegedly imploding.

Beyond that, it seems to me like Arum expects the fight to sell itself.

will see who gets the Bigger $$$ when Cotto vs Paquiao # comes up

I'll tell you one thing, even as controversial and brash the Mayweather's are, I can't believe the buzz the Marquez did drinking his own urine. Of all things that was the real attention getter and I was getting ask alot by non-fans about that. Not saying that the urine incident promoted the event but it did create a lot of curiosity and debate over it

Mayweather Marquez made 1 million because it was Floyds comeback fight and because Marquez was the great Mexican hope on a really devestating run of TKO's over two very good fighters !!!!!!

People are ****ing on about Floyd , surely the Mexican American population in America must have contributed to these numbers surely !!!!!!

If Pacquiao beats Cotto , then in the PPV stakes Pacquaio will be the closest PPV attraction there is to Floyd and the linear no 1 P4P fighter in the world , he deserves the Lions share IMO !!!!!!

I disagree and here is why... all of wat u said is true but who took the P4P from May? No one, yes PAC is there now at worst if sud be 50/50 or 45/45 winner gets the last 10%. The point is u cant take from him at cuz Pac is a more flashy fighter, a win is a win and they both are doing tht. But IMO ppl need to start payin attn to Cotto he has a very, very good chance at winning this fight against Pac but a lot of ppl are over looking that. Pac might not even see a fight with May if he cant get by Cotto.

I'm not saying if he should or shouldn't get more, but the numbers lie. You can't name one guy that Oscar, Ricky or Pac can or has fought that can make a bigger boxing event and bigger money.

[leonthegee]

both fighters fought dlh, hatton, and marquez and floyds numbers were better in all three fights. so why should mayweather split the purse 50/50 with pacquiao? thats ****** business. the only problem is arum promotes most of the top welterweights and arum will use that as a tactic in negotiations. somebody should clip arum and then all this could be possible.
