Mayweather: Why and how he makes the most money.

[Larry the boss]

After reading this article, I can more readily understand why Mayweather might be inclined to not want to split the money 50-50.

yea it makes alot more sense now to be honest.......he pays his opponenets so in reality Arum is not even needed for this fight.Manny would make more without Arums hand in his pcoet.hence Floyd saying Manny needs to get rid of Arum...still Manny deserves a split of the ticket and ppv revenuehe said he'd take less so a 40 million guarantee and a 70/30 split on everything else would be fair imo if floyd is the one putting the money up and paying manny

let me guess, people then will believe that ellerbe, roger, and al haymon all work for free right?

You almost want to feel sorry for Manny. It's not his fault that he's not smart and not confident enough to leave Arum and make this kind of money. If he left Arum I don't think he'd know what to do anyways. He should hire Floyd's management team.

Naw, Floyd most definitely pays Roger and Ellerbe, but to be honest Al Haymon makes money with or without Floyd. Here is another article from NY Times profiling Al Haymon:

Where did he say that?

[Russian Crushin]

Basically Floyd puts up money for a fight by himself like a promoter would for his fighter. So all the risk falls on him because he puts the money up and basically gives himself a guarantee.

In pac's case, all the risk falls on Arum because he puts the money up and a guarantee for Pac which he has to receive.

The main problem im seeing is how this would work with another promoter? I dont think that plan can possibly work with a co-promoter, hense why he wants Arum out of the picture

[The Gambler1981]

pacquiao should take teh flat fee and pull out of the fight a week or so in

Probably only get half, but it would still be pretty funny~ he should take pictures of him hanging out with the money spending the money.

Just he could probably never step foot in the US again but good luck extracting it from the Philipines.

LOL too right, I always laugh when Floyd says he keeps "all his money", not only those 3 but Golden boy would get something too.

Manny won't make money like that until he starts stealing and extorting his own people in his political career.
