Comments Thread For: Mayweather Set To Earn Record Purse in Cotto Clash

[adp023]

This entire post is a fallacy. Golden Boy could have made this claim during the Mosley fight, or the Ortiz fight. Most likely this is legitimate.

They didn't have to make this claim during the Mosley or Ortiz fight because back then Floyd's mantra was "take the test". Now that's changed. The new excuse is "no 50/50 for Pacquiao!!"

The only way to back that up (even if the PPV and gate under performs) is the message: "Floyd receives biggest guarantee by Golden Boy".

In a economy with problems, having a boxer earn that amount of money is not right. Noit even the smartest scientist earns that. What we do is wrong.

Yeah, kinda' like your idiotic man-crush Manny Pacquiao who automatically gives away 32% of his earnings right off the hop. Seems to me, that the followers are almost as ****** as Pacroid is himself. (Notice I said ALMOST.)

Because to be quite honest, Manny Pacquiao is easily one of the dumbest people I've ever seen. If it wasn't for his natural athletic ability, and performance enhancing drugs, he'd be fakked in life.

He doesn't "give away" anything. He wouldn't earn a cent if it were not for a promoter. They arrange everything and pay for everything, risking their own money. They have failures as well.

First of all I highly doubt that GBP even has $32 million in cash just lying around when Mosley was a partner there and left, they cut him a check for like 20,000. And he was a freakin partner there.

Schaefer is probably talking out of his ass again like when he said those photos were photoshopped and that Mosley-floyd would do 4 million buys lmao

But lets for kicks say he does get a $32 million guarantee, its a fact he spent over 10 million in advertising, has to give Al Haymon his cut, has to give GBP their cut, has to pay back the 500,000 Don King let him borrow and lastly, has to pay the IRS their cut. After all that he probably walk to the bank with a check for $5 million

What you say sounds more reasonable. I estimate he'll finish up with about $8-10 mill.

The cheque that Mosley got from Golden Balls was his first knowledge that he was no longer a "partner". He said they took back his "share", meaning 1 share, and I think his direct quote was "a cheque in the mail for $1000 or $1200".

He never did anything except turn up for the weigh-in, or face-offs wearing a tie. The way Hopkins does, although Hopkins gets "reflected glory" from wearing a suit and tie. He also never does anything, never announces anything on behalf of the company, even little things like that. It was just a publicity stunt, and Barrera, who was a law student, got wise and just quit. Oscar isn't the sole owner, he has a few "sleeping partners" and probably wouldn't be allowed to hand out shares in any quantity. He wouldn't do it anyway, he's not tnat ******.

These hardcore fanboys aren't too happy about this one.

[-Spinal-]

but i thought floyd fans said he made 40 mill for his ortiz fight !!!! ha ha ha floyds pay check is going down because the fans are tired of his shinanigans !!!!!!

He probably did make it in total. Maybe even more.

Ah so it is guranteed purse. It doesn't mean 32 mil + PPV.

It means he will get that and if the fight reaches a certain amount of PPV, he can earn more, but it isn't that figure alone.

For example if the fight did only 200K PPV, May would get 32 mil but the fight would make a lost so he wouldn't make more.

GURANTEE purse is the key. A lot on here are too dumb to know whar it means.

Heck he promotes himself so he can say any gurantee to himself like any other man can. LOL.

i am taking a wild guess here and say you didnt read the part that said it was repored by rhe NSAC what the purse was. all fights in neveda have the amt paid to each boxer reported to the commish. thats why we know arum has been gang ****ing pac. also the reason floyd only fights in vegas is he gets a cut from the venue. which is why floyd says he gets a piece of the pop corn sold and ever thing else. its a sweet deal for floyd. and thats how he gets paid so much money.

sorry man but i dont agree with you. have you observed a former athlete in every day life? these dudes are crippled. so i say get all you can man. and have you ever heard of a hedge fund manager? some of these dudes make a billion and a half in one year!!!!!!! and they dont have to risk their bodies. now thats just wrong. i used to say the same thing until i learned how the wall street fat cats are making more than the top 25 pro athletes combined. so to any pro, get all you can while you can.
