was mayweather ever an underdog heading to a fight?

The purse would be the "salary". The ppv and other money would be the "bonus". If you get a bonus for sales you get that in addition to your salary.

He may have gone in slight underdog against Corrales.......or it may have been slight favourite.........but the shortest odds for an opponent since then has been Hatton..........

It was definitely Corrales...Diego was p4p number 5 at the time. Floyd was just coming up -- Floyd beat him like he stole something that night. A virtuoso performance.

the commison rules never mention salary or bonus or anytinglik that.. it jsut says purse!...and ppv is part of the purse...that is why they call it purse split!

[baracuda]

Are you sure that's the purse? That sounds more like what they're expected to make. That's different from the purse.

why do they call dividing ppv money purse split then?.....

Gonna make a killing for the may-pac fight.

They remind me of the fight scene in the movie Jumper, they jump from one thread to another. Haha!!

I was only using that as an example. If the fight isn't on ppv there is no ppv% to be made. There is no extra money if the fight is on espn or hbo or showtime.The purse split is divided up before any other income is factored. The purse is the guaranteed amount the fighter receives before any additional money.

When the fight ends the fighter gets a check, the purse. When the ppv and other sales are calculated 2 weeks later, then the fighters get another check. The amount you hear on TV (i.e. floyd made $35 mil for ssm) is just an estimate until the final #'s are calculated

Is that what they were supposed to make after salary and PPV or in total? I'm wondering because I don't know. That's why I asked.

All I could find

While the MGM sports book has not yet installed a betting line, the fight is up at some local parlors with Mayweather a minus 190 and Corrales a plus 150.

Its not my personal definition. I'm just trying to explain it. If you don't agree or feel I'm wrong thats fine with me.
