Floyds deal.

[Scarcaztic]

Yes true that. The thing is he generated so much money no matter who he fought. People would just buys his fights not even knowing who he was fighting. Its the just the violent manner in which a 5'10' heavyweight was taking these guys out.

Fa real. Imagine a extra 5+ years onto his prime, and imagine how much total gross he'd be banking.

someone will finally get his rematch...

That's an average of 41 million a fight, to be honest it is not that different from his current set up so maybe HBO were not willing to offer him the same guarantee for fights in the future.

I think Floyd wanted a long term guaranteed $ contract and HBO didnt see the high ppv potential with the remaining opponents out there for Floyd. The only fighters Floyd can face that will pull in 1mil+ ppv buys would be Martinez, Canelo, and Pac. Of the 3 only 1 of them (canelo) is a slight possibility and with Canelo facing Trout in May, there's no guarantee he will win in order to setup a megafight in Sept. I've said it numerous times. If HBO let Floyd walk it musts have been for a good reason. Dont see them wanting to lose money by not broadcasting his fights.

Forbes said floyd could pocket up to 250million over the next 2 years with PPV and the contract he just entered.

$250million

Over 2 years.

$125millons a year

$10400000 a month

$342465 a day

$14269 a hour

$237 a minute

He takes a 5 minute sh.it and makes $1185.

He sleeps for 8 hours makes $114152.

Dam.

They based that on absolutely nothing. It was pure speculation.

[Slip Stream]

Good for him, but why doe it matter so much around here how much he makes? As a boxing fan, I just want to see him fight.

As a practical matter it has no real meaning to a fan how much money Floyd or any fighter makes, however his contract should be noted because it says something about the sport. That a boxer can command such princely sums is a sign both of the health of boxing and portends well for a sport that many have said is fading.

I don't know if what you're talking about factors in, we have no idea what the Showtime deal is, maybe HBO just got out bid plain and simple? HBO has deep pockets but maybe Showtime came to the table prepared to lose money short term in order to secure a stronger future foothold in the sport. Showtime may well end up losing money in the deal but until they do there's no downside to having boxing largest attraction on their payroll.

The genius of a promoter is selling what is as if it isn't as it seems. So far, Mayweather has managed his boxing career brilliantly doing just that, now that he's 36 I think his business acumen is really going to be tested over the next two years.

we really don't know what the deal is

And to think that Pac is still fighthing for Bob Arum for $6 million guarantees per fight and a cut of the PPV revenue. Pac is probably kicking his own a.ss right now after hearing about the deal that Mayweather signed and realizing how ****** he was to stay with Arum.

[big_james10]

Oh, really. Is Alvarez scheduled to fight a rematch with Baldomir on May 4 instead of Trout? I am sure Richard Schafer would love to make that fight instead of putting Alvarez in the ring with Trout.

[-Kev-]

6 years $250 million, not even prime roiding A-Rod with the Texas Rangers.

Manny needs to leave Top Rank immediately. Bob Arum is a greedy son of a b1tch.
