Why did Manni only make $6 million for the Mosley fight?

[IMDAZED]

Pacquiao's official purse was $6 million on the Nevada contract but he was guaranteed $20 million from by Top Rank because of PPV.

PPV guarantees aren't guarantees but in this instance we'll never really know. They probably fleeced Mosley.

pac's portion of his purse goes to his MP promotions which of course is subject to business taxation meaning you can deduct expenses from the total earnings and only the net profits will be taxed. on the other hand, his purse as a fighter will be taxed outright on its totality. if you think about it, that's a smart and legal way to minimize tax.

WHO.
GIVES.
A.
SHIT.

Unless I'm getting some of that money, I don't care. The only people caring about this are nuthuggers.

Who cares what the fighters make...Its their business, and doesn't affect us at all

PPV guarantees aren't guarantees but in this instance we'll never really know. They probably fleeced Mosley.

The promoter carries the entire bill of a fight. That's why fighters need them. Top Rank guaranteed Pacquiao 20M regardless of whether PPV makes this much or not. They gave Pacquiao a "floor". If the PPV generates more revenue, Pacquiao in this instance can get even more. If the PPV gets less than 20M, Top Rank will still owe Pacquiao the 20M. Given experience, Top Rank has a pretty good measure of how much a fight will make.

It means he got a better deal from TR. Arum however, asked for all the parties involved to keep quiet about the deal so he could maintain his 27% cut on other boxers.

Makes sense to you?

Bob Arum ****d Manny Pacquiao like the Lady Boy he is

[HandSpeed303]

The better question would be: Why do you care?

I don't worry about the money my neighbor is making. And he's close enough to kill me. Why would I worry about the money a fighter I'll never meet is making?

If Floyd Mayweather is making more money than any other fighter, it really doesn't mean much. It means that potentially he's fighting the better fighters on better dates. Maybe he's the bigger draw. Or.... maybe he's being overpaid. Maybe his opponents get less money.

Maybe.... just maybe... it really doesn't ****ing matter and both he and Pacquiao will make the same money and that's all there is to it. Just a WACKY, little thought.

And yes, that's what this is all about. Don't try and spin it any other way.

Great Post!

[Squizz]

manny was guaranteed 20 mil for the mosley fight,where did you get your info from???

That's what I always thought as well. I'm far from a Pac fan (just look at my sig) but I'm also not a hater. This is a ******ed thread.

[BoZz]

well 6 million is even too much..he fought floyds leftover and an old one too lol...but arum is raping pac...but at the same time he's giving him cherry pick matches so they both do sh** for each other lol

Is that because the PPV was a failure?

As you see, Showtime never released the numbers, and the Manni-Mosley 24/7 was the lowest rated show on TV.

The PPV was not a failure- between 1.3 and 1.4 million. Pretty good for a fight that no one wanted to see.

The low ratings for Fight Camp 360 are from comments made by De La Hoya, pre-rehab.

Manny made a 20 million purse for the fight, plus a percentage of the ppv fights. The 6 million dollars was mentioned by Floyd. Of course he'll low ball any number. Still, given that Pacquiao needs to pay Top Rank, a portion to Golden Boy, Freddie, sanctioning bodies, other hangers-on, the purse does get reduced. It happens to all fighters.

So Manny takes for 8 to 10 million of a 20 million dollar purse. That hardly seems like a problem to me. Then there's ppv coming on top of that. Other fighters get paid a million or two and also see their purses reduced- and no extra ppv as well.

At the end of the day, Manny is rolling in it. Floyd is rolling in it. Good for them. Time to fight.
