Pac turned down 8 figures for 7! Mayweather makes 8 figures either way!

[chino727]

its amazing how people care so much how about another person makes.floyd made this, pac made that, so n so is the cash cow.do you guys get more excited about a boxing fight or how much they make?are you guys actually getting a percentage of their purse and thats why there's so much talk about it?

[El Castigador]

See this ******* cares about money!

Pac made 1M more than Floyd last year. Pac has 2 more sponsors and had one more fight. All for 1M more. Blame Bob Arum.

Not to mention Floyd fought JMM who is not a bigger draw then Cotto or Hatton.

[Sweet Jesus]

Floyd made 30 Million dollars. He only fought once against a guy who is not a huge draw.

Pac made 36 Million. But he had TWO fights vs. Cotto and Hatton to GOOD draws.

You're wrong, Manny Pacquiao is a bigger cash cow than Floyd.

LOL, in your dreams. Most *******s are only Pacquiao fans because he's the second best and with a chance to beat Floyd. They revolve around seeing Floyd lose. It's all about Mayweather anyway, Pacquiao is a tool.

And you all know I'm right.

Bull****, Floyd didn't even made the Forbes top 20 list of sports athletes that made the most in 2009 let alone top 10, the last one at 20, well actually tied for 17 is Ronaldhino that made $30 million. So how the **** you're going to tell me that Floyd made $30 million and another ***** says that Manny only made $1 million more. Show me proof or any link that says so and i'll gladly apologize for my mistake. Anyway, here's the link from Forbes.

Thanks for the link, but i'd rather believe Forbes list, besides, that report from Businessweek might have been for 2008, not 2009. You can't possibly believe that he made $30 million from the JMM fight when he only made $36 million from the DLH fight, and without any endorsements.

Our list of the highest-paid athletes looks at earnings derived from salaries, bonuses, prize money, endorsements and licensing income between June 2008 and June 2009 and does not deduct for taxes or agents' fees. Overall, the top 20 earned $789 million, down 1% from last year. The cutoff to make the list was $30 million.

Drop-offs from last year include boxer Floyd Mayweather (has not fought since December 2007), NFL players Ben Roethlisberger and Dwight Freeney (both made the 2008 list after inking contracts with big signing bonuses) and Formula One driver Fernando Alonso (just missed the cut).

The highest-ranking of the four newcomers to the list is boxer Manny Pacquiao who earned $40 million over the last year, tied for the sixth most. Pacquiao cemented his claim as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter with convincing knockouts of Oscar De La Hoya in December and Ricky Hatton in May. The two blockbuster fights garnered more than 2 million pay-per-view buys in the U.S. and earned Pac-Man $30 million combined.
