Why doesn't Manny make as much money as Floyd?

[lfc19titles]

CORRECTION: Manny Pacquiao did not - DID NOT - make $25 million for a Margarito fight.

Manny has never made $20 million for any fight in his entire career.

I have Manny's guarantees for his fights in Vegas, along with the details from the DLH lawsuit.

it was widely reported by arum and his advisor that the guarantee was 15m plus ppv buys which he got 10m of?

the dela hoya law suit was before the pac vs marg fight?

just got this about floyd on wiki

Fight earnings

Starting around May 10 many reports stated that the official number of PPV buys for the fight was 1.4 million. This is mostly according from Leonard Ellerbe, the advisor for Floyd Mayweather and a inside source on the topic.[11][12][13][14]

On May 11, HBO officially released that the fight generated $78.3 million in revenue.[11]

According to initial inside sources the PPV buyrate was expected to be around 1.1 to 1.5 million. buys.[15] With Richard Schaefer, the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, who sponsored the fight saying he first thought that the buyrate would be around 3.5 to 4 million.

Mayweather received a guaranteed $22.5 million for the fight, plus a bonus for PPV subscriptions which later amounted to around $40 million, while Mosley got $6.7 million

Floyd is more popular than manny plain and simple! manny's fan base is his own people with a few fans of different race. floyd on the other hand is known by whites, blacks, asians, mexicans...

There is an element of truth here.

manny largely sells to the same group of people over and over. Which is why his numbers in big fights have been consistent.


regarding floyd's popularity, much of his advantage over Manny has to do with the physical appearance. Women just do not find guys who look like Manny to be attractive.

Women are a big part of Oscar's and Floyd's buys.

Arum had LIED about how much manny was making to the press several times. And he was busted doing it by the NSAC.

Yet you still want to quote the old, discredited numbers.

that is an odd decision.

So you come in here with the knowledge that a lot of people don't really care about the money fighters make, yet you still make the thread and insult people in the process.

Go and talk about this to the people where you're from then, if they love the money aspect so much.

Judging by this statement it obvious that you lack an education and a job paying more than 20k a year.... Therefore you dou don't matter...

Really don't know what to gloat about boring fights if I'm a Floyd fan. It's been a rip-off especially to those fans who want to see the Fantasy Kid lose. He's a good salesman, but the product he sells is crap. Ask George Foreman.

nobody has proof, its just your words vs the reports from the press, his advisor and arum have said of his guarantee

if he didnt get that much advertised then there would have been an issue made out of it already

why does it bother you anyway?

An issue WAS made of it. You just are not informed.

When it comes to the economics of boxing, i believe that I have more, and more updated, information than you do. No disrespect.

It doesn't 'bother' me. But a fact is a fact. Just like you can't say that Manny won a close decision over Oscar. Because that is factually incorrect.

The fight guarantees for Manny Pacquiao:

Oscar: $6.6 million
Hatton: $7.4 million (Arum LIED and said it was $12 million)
Cotto : $7.5 million (Arum LIED and said it was $15 million)

In case you didn't know, those figures are a matter of public record.

Quite frankly, it makes you seem a bit dim when you parrot what Bob Arum says.

No I'm not being funny. But I find it strange that Manny vs Margo did 1.1. And FMJ vs SSM did 1.4. Yet Manny brought home 25 mil compared to Floyds whopping 40+ million. Is 300k that much of a difference??? Is BOB *ucking Manny over?

And to those of you who I know will say some dumb **** like, "Who cares about the money?". You guys are some minimum wage mofos. Where I'm from, there isn't a better convo. And as the homie Drake said:
"People with no money act like money isn't everything"

Simple.

Floyd has more people willing to pay to watch him fight.

Based on the PPV numbers, apparently, most of pac's fans are freeloaders or are too poor to afford ppv.

That's one thing Pac has though. In spite of constantly giving away is hard-earned cash to people and earning significantly less than floyd, he still has the business sense to put his cash to good use.

Most likely Pac will pass away a rich man and not end up dirt poor unlike so many other boxers.
