Damn, *******s are getting owned. I don't feel sorry for them because they're too ignorant and biased.

There was an article after the fight that said Jerry Jones doubled Clottey's paycheck because of the big attendance number.

Yes, i have seen the article but thats Jerry jones money not the whole Pac-clottey pot/PPV money.

Lmao, I nearly choke mate, Clottey was paid $1 million he isnt getting anything from the PPV..Guaranteed 3.25M? Lol...Clottey?? Lol ..

He's right. Jerry Jones did paid him 3M.

[Larrysbird]

HOw much did Pac earn? $15M and Clottey? $3M.

That leaves nearly $20M in gate and PPV.....

Arum is a wealthy, wealthy bastard.

I think HBO owns 50% of the PPV. So whats left is 17M divided by (Clottey, Pac, Arum) and gate is for Jones?

If the Mayweather-Mosley fight do 2million buys or even the 3 million projected by GBP then i dont really know how people would expect Mayweather to get 50% in a Pacquiao fight.

Dude, if Mayweather/Mosley does 2 million buys, the Mayweather/Pac fight will not EVER take place because Mayweather would offer Pac no more than 30 percent of the split and with Pac's ego, he would rather fight for 60 percent against a lesser opponent and get $7 or $8 million rather than take 30 percent against Floyd and get $15 million.

This is about what I expected out of this fight. There was more buzz about the Mayweather fight than this fight. It really wasn't promoted all that well and they didn't have a ton of time to try and promote it. Solid numbers but Floyd will never go 50/50 now. He did over 1 million buys in a tune up fight.

50/50% of something is better than 60/40% of nothing. Because it will be 100% of nothing if PBF insist having a higher split of the purse vs Pacman.

They need to understand that they cant defend this guy. The only reason why the big fight didnt happen is because of Manny and his team. We're not into the hype in here. We're real boxing fans. These are my brothers. :-)

If that it is the case, PBF will get 100% of nothing vs Pacman because there will never be a fight.

I was just stating what I heard, not getting involved in this *****/******* thing....I like boxing in general and will watch any fights that are on.


This place is ridiculous, it's like some posters here feel they have some intimate connection or obligation to these boxers and will defend them till death- to each his own.
