Cotto will make around that (2.5 to 5 mill)

Cotto probably took a $15 milliion flate rate deal similiar to the $40 million Pac got offered.

Everyone seems to forget that the PPV/Cable companies get 50% of the PPv, the promotesr will get about 25-30% not forgetting the fighter's personal expenses including 10% for his trainer.
I saw a speculative report saying that it might add up to as much as $15 mill.
And...Cotto didn't "leave him", it was all proper and friendly. Cotto thanked Arum for "everything you have done for me"....
You're so keen on scoring points on Aum, who doesn't know of your existence, that you conveniently neglect facts. Not clever.

Originally posted by big_james10 View PostThe sad thing is if Cotto had agreed to fight Pacquaio again, he would only have received a $5 million guarantee and would have had to sign for five more fights with Top Ran. I am glad Cotto saw the light and walked away. Unfortunately, what this means is he will never get the rematch with Pacquaio because Arum will not allow anyone to fight one of his guys unless they are under contract to Top Rank.

By Rey Colón -The Sport Press
Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs), who will defend his WBA 154-pound belt on May 5 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas against unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (41-0, 25 KOs), will receive the best purse of his life with a 65/35 split of the pay-per-view. Cotto, who until December 31 was tied to Top Rank, traveled to Las Vegas a few weeks ago to hear the offer of Bob Arum before making a decision that was revealed on Wednesday by Mayweather Jr. to NSAC commissioners when he was approved for a 2012 boxing license.
The Sport Press revealed on December 13 that negotiations for the fight were moving forward during the WBC Convention in Las Vegas. The contract itself has not been signed but details are expected to be finalized in about two weeks. Golden Boy Promotions will be the lead promoter along with Mayweather Jr. and Cotto.
from fight news
So where are those huge paydays coming from we keep hearing about??

Originally posted by edgarg View PostI'm sure he does have a "middleman". You guys always go off half-loaded. The promoter gets paid. Who do you think is putting on the fight and doing all the work, not Cotto Promotions nor Mayweather "Promotions". Golden Balls will likely be doing it, as they always do for Mayweather fights. Oscar will be taking his usual cut, which is likely to be around 20-30%. I don't know about the residuals. Does anybody have the real figures?
