Mayweather claims he made $30 mill to fight Marquez LOL

[Kilrain]

Am I wrong or this complete fabrication? I heard his purse was $10 MILL minus $600,000 for coming in 2 lbs overweight, in other words 9.4 mill.

He said this on 24/7, thoughts?

Floyd says a lot of things

My thoughts exactly. You know, Mayweather's whole Money persona is so tired. 'I'm the cash cow, I made more money in my last 2 fights than you (Shane) did in your whole career, I'm the flashiest, your biggest payday is facing me, I hold the gate for highest PPV'. Damn, who gives a ****, this is a sport, it's a combat sport and all you can talk about is dollars. Floyd should have been an investment banker if he just wants to talk about money constantly. It's frickin annoying. I really hope Shane beats the brakes off this kid.

I would not be surprised. Some of his fans will buy any crap from him.

[-EAGLE-]

he's all about money; never heard another WW at the moment talking about how much he earns in a fight; he's full of BS.

[Kilrain]

That ep is hilarious with the WADA guys waiting around Floyd's house till he can pass urine LOL

[PAKYO]

For that fight, he barely manage with 3million left on him. True story.

[wazaa.]

I'm getting sick and tired of Floyd always bringing up the money he has made and how big of a PPV star he is. Change the ****ing record. I still like his trashtalking but I hate it when he brings up money and PPV ****.

Horus believed he made 70 Million plus against Marquez - That's true comedy.

Its a bit of a stretch, but not that far off. IF the fight did a milllion buys, then the revenue was likely around this.......

1 million buys = $54 million
less distribution / production leaves about $28-30 million
less $4 million and change to JMM leaves about $24-26 million
undercard and promotion expenses were most likely under a million (the fairy tale that was going around that they spent $20 million on promotion was laughable)
add in sponsors, closed circuit, and the live gate and it probably puts the "Floyd side" revenue back over $30 million

but whats unknown is what the split between Floyd and GBP was........
