Is it possible you're taking guarantee literally? Like if he was to guarantee a victory. I took it as at the end of the day he's getting 40 million. Everyone knows that when he signed for the fight he didn't sign for 40 million. I think people are taking guarantee out of context. I do agree that he says some of the most ****** **** but I also think a lot of **** he says is taken out of context.

yea i was totally taking the guarantee as it being literal. Like if a footballer signs a 80 million dollar contract but only 30 mil of it is guaranteed. That footballer can say hes gonna get 80 million but if he breaks his legs the next day he would only get the 30 that was Guaranteed.
Like i'm sure most of us all know he wouldnt be making 40 mil straight up for the fight and thats what I was talking about. I personally think he'll top out at 40 mil when its ALL said and done but I felt as if he was saying hes getting 40 mil regardless of sponsors,PPV Buys and all that other stuff, which in that case would just seem silly

I guess its just a case of interpretation. Because if I took that way I would agree with you. I took it as the the bottom line when its all said and done that is what he's getting.
