Floyd will pay over 2 million dollars more in taxes if he fights Pac next year.

He would make 50-60 mill and only needs to shave off 2 mill? What's the big deal?

for a man that auctioned his stuff off, it might come in handy in the future. 2 mil goes a long way if you ain't ******.

They won't extend it, not with two straight years of trillion plus dollar deficits and Federal spending soaring ever higher. If Floyd takes a two year vacation, it will likely be even higher on the top end by then.

Well it will be a big issue in the fall... keeping the tax payers with more money in their pocket through hard times... or start making more money for the deficit.

Most likely, taxes will go up.

Maybe thats it.. Floyd is trying to avoid paying taxes by not working.

We are talking about 4 or 4.something % paid to IRS??? I dont see the point why consider this a loss in any way.

This thread was mainly in response to those claiming he would save money by fighting Pac next year. But if you could make up to 3 million more fighting someone this December, rather than postponing it to next year, wouldn't you?

He would make multiple times more by fighting then going on a two year long vacation.

With the Bush tax cuts set to expire in January, taxes will increase for everyone for next year:

SINGLE
Taxable income from 0 to 8,500 will be taxed at 15% (up from 10%)
from 8,500 to 34,550 stay at 15%
from 34,550 to 83,700 will be taxed at 28% (up from 25%)
from 83,700 to 174,650 will be taxed at 31% (up from 28%)
from 174,650 to 379,650 will be taxed at 36% (up from 33%)
from 379,650 and up will be taxed at 39.6% (up from 36%)

Since he is set to make from 50 to 60 million fighting Pac, he will pay over 2 million dollars more in taxes (closer to 2.5 million more.)

That's an expensive vacation.

boxing fans really dont wanna hear this as the reason 4 floyd not wanting 2 fight pacquiao.

Because 4.6% of 60 million is 2.76 million (closer to 2.7 because of the lower rates of the first 300 or so thou) in extra money you have to pay the IRS.

Does it make a difference considering what he's making? Just saying.
