clottey guaranteed 1M

[p4p-champ]

So, let me get this straight....Clottey is not suppose to fight the best out there because he may or probably won't win the fight? This is ****ing boxing man! The best fight the best and those that want to be the best fight the best.

Further, I have a pretty reliable source that tells me that Clottey gets $4 of every PPV buy. How many buys do you think it does?

I wont argue with fighting the best as he should but he is basically in a lose - lose situation. Sure, he'll get some air time because of Pacman but only 1mill guaranteed is a slap in the face even for a relative unknown such as Clottey.

As for the number of PPV buys, i dunno but I'm guessing it'll be around the 1million mark if they're lucky.

As for your source...who knows, who cares. 1million guaranteed is still a slap in the face.

My source is solid gold man. But, I think you are probably high on the buys. But given your number that would drive Clottey's money up to 5 million. Pretty good pay day. I think it will do more like 700,000 which would give Clottey 3.8 million. He would keep 60% of that after taxes. He pays the manager vinny 30% and the trainer 10%.

that's only the guaranteed purse? how much will clottey get for the PPVs?

David Diaz got 1 Million from fighting PAC and that was before ODLH, I thought Clottey would have gotten at least 2M...

Actually, Diaz originally was only getting $800k, but after or before the fight, Manny promised to give him an extra $200k. BTW, Cotto is a bigger name than Clottey and he was the defending champion.

W'sup my man.

I think 1 mil is not so good. Sure it's a lot of money to us, but considering how much Pacquiao will make it's peanuts.

1 mil is a lot of money... specially if you are from ghana

best money fight clottey has probably ever got was the fight with cotto and i doubt he got mkore than a mil there

not bad money + an oppurtunity + exposure etc... not a bad deal a ta ll

Clottey got played. If I were with him, I would have held out for another mil. What does he have to lose? Not like the options were plentiful.

trust me, there are plenty of guys out there willing to fight pac for 1mil or even free

this writer claims this fight will be considered a success with 500K ppv.

"I think it's a shaky pay-per-view, I've thought that all along," Mayo said. "Clottey is not a real well-known guy. Granted, he's very talented. I'm not knocking the quality of the fight. You're not going to make it off a Filipino or an African audience. You have to sell to the U.S. public. I don't think they'll buy it. If the fight did 500,000, 550,000 on pay-per-view, I think that'd be an overwhelming success."

I still think it will easily do 500K, and could reach the 700K. 1M? It will take a lot of marketing by all concerned: top rank, hbo, and dallas. But it can be done. Especially if they have a good undercard. Margarito?

If clottey gets $4, assuming the ppv is $50, and hbo and top rank gets half, leaving 25 dollars to be shared by pacquiao and clottey, then its an 85%-15%, or at best 80%-20% split?

500k buys? Ouch. That would be a failure if you ask me. However, after the fight of the century was called off, i probably wouldn't be too surprised.

i think he deserves more!

Yeah, 1mill PPVs was being generous, hence i said if they're lucky. Agree though, 700,000 seems about right.

Of course. But who else were they going to fight?
