Mayweather Should Get The Most Money, Says Schaefer

[Kevin Jesus]

Pacquiao-Cotto has 0 PPVs sold right now, so let's wait until after Nov 14th to have a final say on who gets what percent of the purse.

Dom,

He's referring to the $24.95 PPv's full of latin fighters that TR puts out.

I think the most expensive Latin Fury card was $35.

Bob says they do 200K, but as you know, there's no way to verify and Bob consistently inflates his nums.

No way to verify what Arum says, but you still haven't presented any evidence that the numbers YOU SAY are official from HBO are legit. HYSTERICAL

[Doctor_Tenma]

What you posted is no more credible than what I stated. There were 3 post about the numbers for the Gatti fight. And because you said they were officially released by HBO, we should just believe you? How about a link. Something. Or should we just take your word from it because you are "Al Haymon"?

This mother fucker is lazy.

Yo Kevin,

I put 350K on Taylor to beat AA. Was that a good idea?

[Pretty Boy Greg]

Exactly. Hatton didn't have a great following in the US when he came over. Therefore they had to build him up until he could sell a PPV. Lets go back to Mayweather/Gatti. How many fights did Floyd have in the US? How many were on HBO? How many were on PPV prior to the Gatti fight? NOW, how many PPV's numbers did he do in his first PPV against Gatti? Compare Floyd's first PPV numbers against Gatti and Hatton's first PPV. And you all are saying Floyd carried that fight?

i'm sorry but u have lost this debate!!! you are just a typical hater and its driving you crazy that PBF is makin a ****load of money. i want to see the mosley fight ore than anything but if he elects to beat up ******* first, i have no problem with that.

[Pretty Boy Greg]

That's because Floyd and GBP are the only ones talking about PPV numbers which gets Floyds fans all in a huff. Floyd isn't a great PPV draw. Floyd talks like he was the reason the Oscar fight sold and the Hatton fight sold yet people seem to forget that prior to Oscar and Hatton, he barely did 350k against Gatti and his numbers for Judah and Baldomir were ATROCIOUS. YET, he is the greatest PPV draw against established fighters.

being the most popular fighter doesnt happen over night, numb nutz!

[Al Haymon]

It's good for boxing why? Over 1 million people saw Shane Mosley get in Floyds face and demand a fight. Why isn't THAT fight better for boxing? Floyd fans say its because it doesn't generate the same money. REAL boxing fans say because Floyd is afraid of Shane and anybody else who has a remote chance of beating him. Find me one quote where Manny himself has expressed an interest in fighting Mayweather and I can show you video were Shane let Mayweather know, not thru the press, but TO HIS FACE in front of MILLIONS of viewers he wanted to fight him.


So, because Manny is too classy (and not desperate enough) to interrupt a post-fight interview, he has to get in back of the line?

Future hall-of-famer Freddie Roach said People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao wants to meet Floyd Mayweather Jr. to settle once and for all who’s the real pound-for-pound king.

“Manny wants to fight the best and the Mayweather fight is the one he wants,”

http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/24740/its_official_pacquiao_wants_mayweather

“Mayweather has a lot of advantages,” Pacquiao said. “He is faster than Marquez and should be able to win. If he does, then I’d like to fight him, although that is down to my promotional team.”

Typical Mayweather fan. Why should I be concerned about the money he is making? Better yet, why are YOU? Floyd fans are pathetic. So worried about the money he makes while carrying less about the quality of opposition. Lets look at the quality of opposition

Bruseles
Corley
Gatti
Mitchell
Judah
Baldomir
Dela Hoya
Hatton
Marquez

And this is what you all accept from an "elite" fighter when he has basically avoided EVERY formidable opponent at welterweight? .....HILARIOUS

You are wrong because the fight wont happen. I would not be upset if Manny chose to fight Shane Mosley or a third fight with JMM instead of fighting Fraud. I wouldnt be upset if Cotto rematches with Shane, Margarito, or even Clottey instead of getting in the ring with *****Boy. Floyd fans want to see a fight with Manny because it will generate money, none of which they will spend, not because it is competitive. THATS the shame in all of this.

floyd fans want to see the manny-pacquiao fight, not b/c of the money involved...like you said, none of us spend it. i don't argue the money aspects of fights, b/c i could give a **** less....honestly, none of it makes it to my pockets...

HOWEVER, when understanding the rationale of WHY some fights happen and others don't, and why certain fights happen at certain times, it would be foolish NOT to look at the money aspect....

it is wrong to label floyd fans with being concerned about his money, because as a fan myself, i understand the dude wants the biggest money fights out there, and i understand he believes he is the main attraction in boxing, and bottom line is, the pacman fight WON'T happen if pacman and top rank insist on an even split, or a bigger split for manny. don't get it confused about ppl arguing about who should get what, with them being "concerned" about who is getting what. bottom line is, like i said, fights get made based on the projections of what they will earn....until you guys understand the business aspect of the fight game, you'll forever be in the dark as to why some fights are made and others aren't.

I love it how you dudes insist many will be perfectly fine taking on shane or many instead of floyd. Bottom line, when the pacman-cotto negotiations were hitting snags, shane basically did everything but say he’d suck manny’s **** in order to get the fight made….from accepting a 35-65 split, to coming all the way down to 140 lbs. The answer was no….marquez has been chasing many down since their second fight, and many has expressed no interest in fighting him either….so how all of a sudden will that all change?

Fact is, BOTH those guys offer many little reward/ high risk for the stage of his career he’s in now. They need him for big fights, many doesn’t need them. The mayweather fight is the biggest one out there, and it happens whether you like it or not….but only happens, if mayweather gets a bigger cut.

Apparently you don't read well so I will say it again. Find one quote FROM Manny Pacquiao. You quoted Freddy Roach dummy. I could have sworn you just said something in another thread about Freddy talking too much and it not being Manny saying it. So please go find me a quote where Manny himself has stated he wants to fight Mayweather. One minute Shane is pathetic for chasing Mayweather, but it seems Mayweather is chasing Manny.
