Floyd Mayweather Receiving $40 million from Ortiz fight

[al-Xander]

I'm all for boxers making good money, it's a rough brutal sport.

But the problem with Floyd making this much is that he's gonna go on another one of his vacations again after. And if/when he comes back, he can make another 40m against someone he should win against. I know it's hypothetical but we've seen it before.

Yes. I don't know why some fans are making a big deal of this when huge amounts of money makes Floyd inactive.

Fans want to see May/Pac eventually. Awarding Floyd this much money makes this fight even more hard to happen. The result has always long vacation for Floyd. Unless Floyd fans are content in the impression that Floyd has been ducking Pac.

I will say this -- Mayweather against Ortiz is a helluva lot better fight than that Pacquiao-Mosley crap. @NYPost_Willis

Pacman is afraid of drug testing. Props to Ortiz !

Everytime you bozo's spout that bull**** I will post this as the best retort.

[Living Legend]

I'm not overly excited about this fight, because I already know the outcome, but atleast it's for the Real Welterweight Title and not none of that Catchweight Bull****....

Sources say GBP will soon confirm that Floyd is receiving a historic figure of $40million before PPV.

If true:

Damn that's a lot of money, i mean, you shouldn't even pay him that much lol, I'm just sayin, if Floyd receives 40 for Ortiz, his expectations for Pacquiao will be A LOT higher, your setting yourself up to lose by giving him that much money....but today, right now....that's some good ****.

Please dont let him get that much.

^^^^^^ Definition of a hater.

their usually always right

Thanks man, wasn't calling you out just curious where the info came from.

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

so how much will ortiz get?

the real winner is GB though Oscar and schaffer are the real ones getting paid

Not exactly! PBF is getting a big cut of gate, ppv, and sponsor revenue. PBF and Haymon encroach on the traditional network and promoter profits with every fight.

This is what I dnt get about fans. Why is it a big deal when the OBVIOUSLY generates this and more? Shouldnt the Fighters get the majority of the generated revenue? If the guy generates this sum when he gets in the ring, what is the problem?
