De la hoya has the all time purse 56 mil.

Yup thought so. Floyd is def gonna clear that.

[PACnPBFsuck]

It should be illegal to make that much state tax free money.

That 1.6 million buys is probably the "break even" number

Add the 300k they fell short on the Guerrerro fight and its 1.9 million to break even for the year

This fight does nowhere near that. I say this fight does 1.3 million tops. Same as Pacquiao-Mosley

Especially if you factor in the price of PPV and it being on SHO

this is actually a good post

[lfc19titles]

No he will not, the site is clueless who said that. Floyd will get a guarantee of 40m from the revenue Ppv no matter what. After that if the fight does certain numbers Floyd will get a PvP bonus of around 5m. After that Alhaymon will get his 15 percent, golden boy will get their fee as will the tax man. All in all expect Floyd to take him 25-30m tops.

Showtime need this to do well, the lost around 15m on the last fight, another failure, expect Floyd to be fired as well ad the boxing heads of Showtime imo

[lfc19titles]

Think about it guys lol the fight makes 100m and you guys think Floyd will get 90m of that...just Lol

Damn near 2 months until the fight this undercard needs to shape up

Mayweather have a $40 million guarantee purse for the Canelo fight. According to forbes they are expecting 1.6 Million PPV sales at a minimum, wich in terms of $$ will amount to $105 million and $50 million of those would be for Mayweather. Thats not counting sponsors, and sales at the MGM.

This is some real money Mayweather is scoring here. Now I can understand why, he wasnt ok for the suppose purses they were offering him for the Pacquaio fight.

Not at all. Assuming your figures of $105 mill, $53 mill goes to PPV folks leaving $52 mill. Add $18 mill for the gate, and another $20 mill for theatres, closed circuit etc. everything else. That makes $90 mill.

Then the fun begins. The IRS and local taxes come to $36 mill, the Promoter takes 25% of the balance, (or maybe of the gross I don't know how they do their accounting) then add another 10% for camp, trainer, cutman etc.

Roughly that should leave about $38 mill , say $40 mill. From this comes Mayweather's guarantee...... and from what's left he'll probably get another 70-80%. making his total about $38 mill.

And Showtime is left with ........ the gratification that they put on a big show with little or no loss.

Personally I doubt that boxers, no matter how well paid, end up with nearly the amounts that fans believe they get. I think it's to the advantage of the fighters and promoters to let the fans believe that they make that much. A charade. They make plenty, but just not what we are led to believe.

I may have made a big error somewhere and everything is just approximate and guesswork. There are so many imponderables that the accounting is very much like movie production "accounting".

i just now see that someone mentioned Al haymon whom I forgot completely. So perhaps Mayweather will be lucky to reach $30 mill.

record purse was Oscar's $52mil when he fought Floyd

Er you do know a guarantee is included in all money. If the sales do ****, he gets 40 Mil. If they do better than the mark, they add money to the 40, but they still start at 0.

So he would only get 10 mil on top if as you say, the numbers add up to 50 Million. I use to see a lot of Floyd fans confuse what a guarantee is...

The Pacquiao fight would have broke 2 mill.

The Mayweather- Pacquiao fight is universally recognized as the most demanded fight for almost all sport and fight fans.

It definitely would have a larger base than Oscar vs Floyd + the Filipino buys and more hype. Pacquiao is a risk and a threat to everybody if he can hurt you and finish you off. He hurt marquez several times in all their fights but marquez is too tough to go away, nobody knows if floyd can take pacquiao when he forces a firefight. He would have been Floyd's most dangerous fight.

It would have Broke 2 mil minimum and there's a very good chance it would have broken the record.

Yep and Manny walked away from a 50/50 offer , how crazy is that or should I say how duckie is that ? no other fighter in world boxing would have turned that fight down with that offer on the table , plus we had Floyd agreeing to 10 million weight clause , agreeing to Mannys gloves and ring size , and still Manny ran away from that fight .

And he ran away because of a PEDs test that he now demands of Rios how contraindicative is that !
