Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Receive $40 Million Guarantee For Ortiz?

[big_james10]

40 mill?o one will pay for this crap. Me myself will watch if for free on internet. Or at my friends house who steal the dish channels. Let's not pay a penny to watch this nonsense fight. Gayweather is overrated. Why not face martinez? or cotto or williams or margarito? hahahahaha. Gayweather family are a unch of clowns. Rather spent $50 on drugs. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

If you think he is overrated and you hate him so much, why the hell are you going to watch the fight at all. I don't like seeing Pacquaio fight over-the-hill has-beens and I haven't watched a Pac fight (not even the replays on on regular HBO or Showtime) since he fought Ricky Hatton. So, explain to me why the hell someone who hates Floyd so much that he calls him "Gayweather", would bother to watch him fight at all?

If I had to guess, I would say that you are gay yourself and watching Floyd fight makes you c......m!

Are people that dumb? Do you think promoters/HBO likes to LOSE money? 40 mil is ALOT of money for 1 FIGHTER. There is no way HBO fronting floyd 40mil unless its against Pacq.People think money grows on trees, for 40m HBO can put on shows all year round and make way more cash.But Floyd is the #1 guy to listen to when it comes to money, not like he ever lied about how much he made or ever paid his taxes

I didn't see anywhere in this story where it said Floyd was the source of this information. Did you just fall off the turnip truck? The promoter guarantees the fighter's money and pays him, not HBO. If this fight takes place, the site fee paid by MGM Grand will be $20 million. The sponsorships will pull in another $10 million. The live gate will be at least $12 million (it was $13 million for the Mayweather/Mosley fight that had 13,000 in attendance vs $8 million for Pac/Mosley with 16,000 in attendance). And the PPV, if it is at least one million buys will pull in $40 to $50 million. All total, that adds up to, conservatively, $80 million dollars.

The only people losing money on this fight will be Bob Arum and Pacquaio. After fans see Floyd fighting an up-and-coming champion, there will be a lot fewer fans willing to pay to see Pac fight has-beens, never-was'ses and stiffs like Mosley, Clottey and Margarito, resulting in ArumPac making a lot less money.

ellerbe got more money than pacquiao.

I wouldn't doubt the amt. Mayweather has created a lot of demand fighting once a year and HBO backs him up. He's the most skillful boxer today, like it or not.

ellerbe got more money than pacquiao.

$1 U.S = 43 Philipine pesos.

Pac is a billionaire once the money is converted in his homeland.
