Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on Mayweather-Cotto, Stands Firm on 50/50 Split

[brick wall]

When have I ever justified $40 mil no ppv? DOn't lie because you know manny doesn't deserve 50/50 split.

so what's your problem then? even if we go by your logic that pac doesn't deserve 50% he is actually getting less than that. he already agreed that floyd gets a bigger guarantee. how much more do you want floyd to get?

Mayweather promotions is more than just a boxing company they do concerts,they are getting in to movies, etc. If they were to get their own liscense they can only be a boxing company so thats why they use golden boys liscense so they can do more than one thing.

Top rank or any boxing company has to pay money in advertising etc the logistics of a fight Bob Arum might pay 5 million for advertising for a fight just using it as an example then when all the revenue from the fight is added up you know ppv+gate etc tou pay the fighters and everybody else and the rest of the money is yours if a fight sells 1 mill ppv's x$60?ppv thats 60 million right there then the gate another 10 mill maybe thats 70 million

Anyway like any promoter Mayweather has to pay for advertising and the logistics of the fight and since he's using golden boy's liscence he just pays them that's before the fight GB i already paid before the fight.

All the PPv's+gate and everything else all goes to Mayweather Promotions and since floyd is a fighter and promoter he gets paid both ways a purse and all the ppv money etc 32 mill purse vs cotto and but this ppv might have done close to 2 million at $60-$70/PPV that $120-$140 million plus the gate which is 10 or 11million+sponsorship money+site fee, etc etc Mayweather promotions will get to probaby split up around 180million after taxes and paying undercard etc Mayweather will probably come away with 60-70 million for 1 fight.

If they Mayweather got his own liscense he could only be a boxing company so it's just like he has his own he just uses somebody elses why do you think 50 cent is around him and other people they are gonna start financing films and stuff they are doing and talking business, what do you think the money team is you think it's just something they talk about they all are coming up with business ideas, investments, etc so Mayweather promotions is more than a boxing company. Plus if Mayweather promotions wasn't legit pro fighter's wouldn't even sign to them in the first place. Golden Boy also can put one of their young stars that they are trying to build up on Mayweather's undercard like they are doing with Canelo. Alot of people watched the Mayweather/Cotto fight Sat. boxing fans know who canelo is but somebody that doesn't really follow boxing probably got to know who he was Sat because casual fans have heard of Shane mosley now when they here Canelo's name they will say oh that young kid that beat up shane mosley cause mosley has a name get it.

Well there'll always be a difference but fighters have agreed to 50/50 splits before. Theres no way it can be a 40m flat fee which is the current position.

Out what has been going on for the past 3 years. That 40Mill flat fee offer was the most ****ing ****** and BS offer or comment made. Just unreal for him to ever come up with some ***** like that.

Just the match ups really Pacers are a real good team. They play together not all out of sorts like the dumbass NY Knicks. The Heat gonna have to bring it every game cause the Pacers will not be an easy out.

trust me, i would love nothing more than to see the Heat upset or even extended into a long series...but i just can't see that happening


here's hoping to you being right tho

iM LOOKING FORWARD TO META WORLD WAR COMING BACK IN TIME FOR THE START OF THE LAKERS THUNDER SERIES!
ITS GONNA BE A WAR!

i want him to elbow Durant this time

So manny doesn't have to pay bob?? U guys keep saying floyd have to of his own money in for his promotion, well that's on him. Like PAC doesn't have to pay bob anything??? All Floyd wanted was a fair fight right? That's not to much to ask for right? Well all PAC wanted is a fair split on the ppv.

They both should get what is fair. Why shouldn't Manny pay Arum if Arum is fronting him the money for side of the deal. If Manny don't want to pay Arum let Manny put up part of his money for his guarantee.

I don't want floyd to get more jujst for fkuc's sake. Floyd earned the right to get more based on the revenue generated by each fighter. Floyd, no matter how you judge how he got to the top spot, got there.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Pac only wants 50% because he has to split his money with everybody.(bob Arum, konz,roach)

It's not Floyds fault that pac is a moron and signed a *****ty contract.

Pac also pays Goldenboy. SMFH

Floyd is making atleast 40 million per fight so he will never come off that 60/40 split because he doesn't have to.


Pac is fine with his 6 million per fight.
He doesn't seem to want to leave bob Arum so he must be happy.

Or maybe just maybe pac wants to leave but can't because he owes Bob from all these rumored advances pac gets from Bob.

[Larry the boss]

make the damn fight 50/50 or just stop talking bout it

he is getting more...what else do you want?

[The Big Dunn]

A ppv purse split reflective of each's revenue generation to date. Please note, manny and bradley could do 2 mil for all we know (anyone think ODH/floyd was gonna do 2.45?) and then manny would be entitled to 50/50 or maybe more.
