Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[ChampBox@PR]

bro... u think thats the only way they make revenue???? you are leaving a lot of aspects out that draw money to the same bucket.. just in ads & sponsorship besides what the MGM pays to host the card..... the rooms that are filled the money those ppl spend on fight night... etc.. etc etc.... I would double that add at least another 35ml easyy....... besides that I believe they would do way more than 16 mil on the gate...


still damn 30 millions is way way to much of what I have expected.... mayweather really wanted to lock the best draw for him besides manny for may 5. manny can pick and fight whoever he wants right now and May vs Cotto will be more lucrative than any other fight right now which at the end is what mayweather wants...

I thought he was going to get from 15 to 18 as much

Cortos gurantee is 15mills us his 35% of everything
He couldnt ende up with more than 30mills depending on the ppv

[mellow_mood]

bro, thats is the main ways of making money...sales rvenue and ppv sales...the others ways wont even cover the 40% corporate taxes that the government is going to get....so you do the math , the numbers aint possible no matter what....

i hope cotto makes that much for he's a good guy and a warrior but it's just not beleivable man, it's not...

oh well... Im not into their books so at the end. I can only speculate with the info we are givenn.. so . im not into arguing how much hes making.. and.. Im not even getting a penny... but I do think the fight will generate more than 80 mil easily

[WESS]

good for him...

jmm made less vs floyd than he did vs pac 3...

big deal?...lol

How does that even make sense you clown? JMM fought Floyd how many years ago? lol

and what does JMM have to do with Cotto making more money now that he left Top Rank?

Think next time...

[big_james10]

i dont see how that's possible...

1.2 mil ppv of $ 60 eac = 72 mil

16,000 seat(MGM) of $1000 ea = 16 mil

88 million total gross....how about the government tax, hbo cut, promotional expenses, etc....

just not possible....

You are not right. With that little money, there is no way you can pay a fighter $20 to $30 million. That is what Bob Arum has been telling Manny Pacquaio for years as Manny signs that contract guaranteeing him only $6 or $7 million per fight.

The truth is that the PPV numbers should be cut in half because the cable company keeps half ($30 million). However, you have to factor in the site fee provided by the MGM Grand, which will be at least $10 million; the cost of theater seating, which will be around $5 to $10 million more; , the broadcasting fee paid by HBO, which could be between $5 and $10 million;, the sponsorship fees which could be as much as $10 million and the international rights fees which will be around $2 to 3 million and any miscellaneous fees that we dont know about. Add all of these up and it adds up to somewhere around a minimum of $70 million and could be as much as $100 million in profit. Expenses will be $5 to 6 million. I personally doubt Cotto is getting paid as much as this internet report claims, but I would bet that he will walk away with at least $15 to $20 million, which will be at least $10 million more than he would have made in a fight against Manny Pacquaio.

Its only coming from only 1 media.

If that is true, that is great for Cotto but i don't think his getting that much.

this is just a COULD BE pipeDREAM scenario.... at the end I expect him to get from 15 to 18m.....

same here man...im not arguing about this becuase like you im not getting a single penny either.....but nobody is going to feed me BS that i know aint possible,...

How does that even make sense you clown? JMM fought Floyd how many years ago? lol

Think next time...

floyd fought jmm in 2009, a bit more than 2 years....so what?...cotto vs pac was also 2 years ago...whats your point?..

i dont need to think when arguing with you..lol

I can see Miguel getting 5 million on the purse and a couple more on ppv/backend.

i guess we've got 2 difrerent sources about manny's purses than.....

damn, with the cable companies keeping 50%, how the hell is this fight gonaa profit 100 million?..lol...and where are you getting all this numbers?...

[Spoon23]

I can't believe of how close the Cotto-Clottey fight was.

And you know what Pac did to Clottey right? (punching bag)

And how Cotto got the hurt from Pac.. (tazmanian devil)

Just shows you that if Floyd gets a hard fight with Cotto and wins it like how hard Pac had to fight Marquez 3 times means..

Styles makes fights..

People although we know Cotto is already left overs still might have it coz of the style match-up.
