Who's going to front the bill?

One thing is guaranteed if Pacquiao and Mayweather are seriously going to fight, the guaranteed purses for both fighters combined will at least be 100 million, that's just crazy to think about.

Mayweather made 60 something mil with a guarantee of 40 something mil, I don't know how much Manny made but Mayweather is already earning past 50 million. My question is who the hell going to pay them and how will the undercard look? Would it be a legendary card or would it feature new talent? Will the networks/promoters try to feature more of their fighters or try to get semi main event feature?

wow people really are still HYPED for this fight lol

[Wokingman]

Are you saying I'm hype? Or did you not read the questions I asked? You know both fighters have contracts with other networks, promoters, etc. I'm saying negotiations is not only going to be between both fighters but networks, promoters, sponsors (new and old), etc.

Basically Mayweather and Pacquiao by themselves is expensive and they have people behind them that need to eat too.

Mayweather wins the fight I already know.. So I think it should easily be made.. PAC should accept whatever offer gets that reasonable. 10 - 20 million I think will be reasonable.

I doubt Arum would let May get over 100% more than pac. Though it WOULD be a cash out. Still, too much politics for the fight to be made. Floyd doesnt want to generate any money for Arum and Arum isnt going to allow Floyd to dictate every term. Too much pride. I dont doubt the fight gets made if it was strictly up to Floyd and Pac...

Itd be cool though, that card could include big matchups from both networks (Quillin Vs GGG) Matthysse vs Prov.. Danny vs Bradley. Or imagine Prov vs Broner?

Didnt wwf have ish like that when it split into mondays vs thirsdays or whatever?

where did you get that idea that he made 60 million or even 50 million from his last fight?

[KING MEAT]

one word from al haymon this fight gets made.

hes the kim jong of boxing.

[flint]

the fight is not happening, they want no part of mayweather. all through their promotion of the pac vs rios fight. they kept bringing up mayweather's name to help their cherry pick macau scam. and roach said that if pacquio looks good then he wants mayweather. well pacquiao did look good so why are they talking about fighting in april? when everybody knows that mayweather returns in may.

Did you guys not see my other thread about how fraudulent all the Pacquiao supporters are for wanting this fight?

I am not hype over seeing the fight, I am interested in the overhead this fight may have.. And the fact that these two are the nukes for the Cold War between two groups HBO/Bob Arum and Showtime/GBP/TMT. Who's going to invest more in this fight between them?
