Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Guaranteed $25 Million For Ortiz

[Spacey1991]

i thought he said he was making 40 mill !!!!! lol looks like he was caught in a lie !!!!!!!!!!!!! 25 mill is still great but he doesnt have to lie !!!!!!!!

Might have meant including the PPV buys? I can't remember him saying it, I remember hearing rumors though.

I also thought a previous report says he was guaranteed 40M, One thing about Mayweather is all his PPV says or guaranteed money can be verified by the Nevada commission, When Pacquiao fights Arum usually come up with made up numbers while you would never seen anything or hear a thing about how much Pac was really making from the Nevada commission unless you go deeper to find out.

Ortiz will be making $2 million for the fight, with an additional $500,000 as the overall package. Both boxers will receive undisclosed upside percentages from the pay-per-view revenue.

Yeah, Manny should of made more than that but for some crazy reason he gives Roach 10% of his purse, then he has to pay GBP and TR promotional fees because he was dumb and signed a contract with TR then took money from GBP binding him to a promotional contract with them. That adds up to about another 30 to 40 percent off of his purse. This is why Floyd always makes the joke "Manny never saw a promo contract he didn't like"......

although Floyd's opponent also gets their highest paydays fighting him, Team Mayweather is getting them at a bargain, if i remeber it correctly Marquez was also paid around the 2 million mark, now JuanMa will be getting 4M fighting Manny...

No, BalutBoy.

Marquez made a lot more than that. Wipe the mud off your feet and get your facts straight.

*and he additionally got $600K in weight penalties.

Lesnar can earn 5 million with PPV share but a lot of top fighters generally earn $100,000. plus another 100K if they win and can earn up to an additional 50k in bonus money if they qualify ie:submission of the nite ..etc...but yeah those guys earn nothing by comparison...but the UFC is a closed promotion...only one promoter...one sanctioning body... and usually not open to negotiation.

Brock Lesnar, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, GSP are some of the only fighters that have ever hit 500k-1m+ paydays in the UFC.

Jessie Vargas is making 100k in his 17th fight when he is the OPENING BOUT. Think about that. REALLY think about that.

This is really turning into less of a boxing site, then a place for people to argue about two of the sports fighters. No one uses their head anymore. A 25 Million dollar guarantee is just that. Guarantee.... thats the lowest possible amount he can walk away with. No fighter currently active in the sport makes that much guaranteed money. These are facts, and it's just silly to have a debate on something you can look up publicly. Either way the fight tonight should be a fantastic watch, so why don't we just enjoy it instead of debate something that already is publicly stated as fact. Agreed?

Lol that alt is laughable. Pacs promoters and trainers get a chunk of his money, then add in the cash he gives to everyone around him.

and add in the money he has to pay oscar. and we all know bob arum is gang ****ing the guy financially. if he dropped arum like oscar and floyd did, he would make far more money. then arum would have a lot of bad things to say about pac.
