Do You Believe Leonard Ellerbe that Floyd made $40 million?

[American Dream]

You do know that the 50 bucks spent on ppv is divided right? You do know how the profits are shared right?

50% go to the cable/satellite company

50% go to the promoters.

Floyd gets what left of that 50% from golden boy. I bet my life he didnt pocket no $40 million.

dont forget to add in closed circuit/live gate..ect...

[S H A R K B O Y]

I'm pretty sure he got something close to that. $40 million was thrown around the entire time and no one refuted it. More likely its true than not.

dont forget richard & oscar's take on that 50%,

uncle sam,

roger,

his cutman,

bodyguards,

dad,

baby mamma payments,

entourage,

= NOT $40 million dollars.

That's AFTER he gets his $40 million. Either way, he still GOT $40 million.

this;

In an interview with David Mayo of the the Grand Rapids Press, Floyd Mayweather's advisor Leonard Ellerbe stated, “Manny Pacquiao is probably wondering how did Floyd Mayweather make $40 million, and I’m making whatever it was he made for his fight!” Then Ellerbe added, “Floyd Mayweather has definitely made more money in his last two fights than that guy has made in his whole career.”

Now there’s no denying that Mayweather is crossover star and that he now has the magic touch at the box office, but Ellerbe’s comment that Floyd will make 40 million dollars seems way off base. First of all, 1.4 million buys, which is the current projection circulatiing around the industry, is a phenomenal buy rate and makes Mayweather-Mosley one of the top six selling pay per view events in history, but it still falls short of the three million and then four million buys that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer predicted and falls way short of eclipsing the all time mark of 2.15 million buys set by De La Hoya and Mayweather in May of 2007.

According to the report by Mayo, the fight is projected to generate 71 million in pay per view revenue and 11.1 million dollars at the gate.As a result Ellerbe’s statement that Floyd will make 40 million dollars for the fight seems to be an unrealistic figure. First off, cable and satellite providers usually take fifty percent of the pay per view profits right off the top so that leaves around 35 millions dollars on the table. Throw in the eleven or twelve million in the pot from the gate and that leaves around 47 million, but Mosley was guaranteed at least seven million in addition to a percentage of the pay per view. So if you estimate his purse at 10 million, that leaves 37 million, but Golden Boy Promotions promoted the bout and spent millions on advertising and logistics and as the bout's promoter, they are going to take a significant portion of the profits so Ellerbe’s claim that Mayweather is going to earn 40 million dollars from the fight seems way off base. Thirty million seems like a more realistic figure.

after uncle sam, trainers, handlers, ellerbe, entourage, bills, i doubt floyd pocketed 25 mill.

the only one reching here is floyd's army of personal ***** bankers on NSB.

Why do you care? It was reported that he'd make $58 million if the PPV sales reached or exceeded 1.7 million, and that's without endorsement money the fight generated. Well they didn't hit 1.7, they hit 1.4, and his total earnings from the fight obviously dropped, but not by more than $18 million.

I'm sure he made $40 million, and likely beyond.

He got 22.5 million for fighting Mosley. He also got a 78/22 split for fighting Mosley.

Let me break it down for you since you don't know.

Floyd's company is part of anything he does. His logo is all over the place for a reason.

PPV buys + purse+ live gate + sponsors + promoter's share + tv rights ( you do know he got millions for the TV rights in Europe) + 24/7 = over 40 million.

GBP doesn't get 50% of his money. He's not ****** like Pacquiao to let another man take his money. Ellerbe only got 400K from this fight.

You do know mayweather promotions is not licensed to promote fights in vegas right? Or anywhere for that matter.

keep trying.
