Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Needs Pacquiao For PPV, Not Khan

[beatnutts]

Roach is crazy and some of you Pac fans are too. Brandon Rios was suppose to lose and lose by knockout. You know who Rios is? He's a b-level fighter who just moved up to 147 for the first time ever. He's a slow non skilled fighter who apparently has no jab when he fights and lost his last fight before he climbed in the ring with Manny.

dude shut the f@ck up already and get mayweather's name out your mouth you already promoted your fight using his name. i like pac but hate the people around him man. pac beating rios means NOTHING who are you guys trying to fool! and mayweather will not fight kahn he never fights guys who have looked that bad in previous fights and his resume shows that.

If you believe that then you believe anything.
There is a reason why Pac doesn't get those numbers GUARANTEED.
Thats because he ain't making that.

Floyds contract guarantees him those huge pay days he gets.
It's in the paper work filed with the commission.

Manny on the other hand got Bob telling the media that pac is guaranteed 25 million but files a contract with the commission saying 6 million.

The reason......because he can't really guarantee those huge purses.
Now if PPV sells are what Bob really says they are( which they are not) then yes manny may get the 18 million but.............

subtract 33 1/3% for Bob, 10% for Roach, Konz %, and manny is left with what?

Mayweather gets 100% of his money and only pays out flat fees to GB/AL/Trainer/Leonard

When Floyd fights he has to dish out:

39% to uncle Sam
Pay Al haymon
Pay gbp their flat fee
pay the chest rubber Ellerbe
Pay his trainer/cutman.
Etc..


Floyd would be lucky to keep 35% of his total purse. Same goes for pac but let's not act as if Floyd is pocketing all that bread because he's not. If I was pac I'd fight all my fights in Macau just to avoid paying the millionaire tax that they hit u with for fighting in the states.

How many US PPV buys has Amir Khan sold again???

You're right, he's supposed to fight someone that jumps up TWO weigh classes like Guerrero did.

Roach is rght about ppv numbers low if Floyd fights Khan.

But If Pacquiao fights anyone else not named Marquez in the Top Rank stable, their next ppv will be as low as the Rios ppv which I estimate will do around 500,000 in the states. Who knows in China. But being that they want to come back and fight in the USA, makes me beleive that they didn't do good numbers in China and that fighting overseas had a dramatic effect on the ppv purchased in the states. What happened with the CRYING about the HUGE taxes being deducted from their pay here in the states and that's why they fought in China?

His money has been guaranteed going back 5 fights now...google is your friend.

[MC Hammer]

Freddy sound like he begging. Between this and the next fight immediately going back to the states, I don't think the Rios fight did that well.

[Money_May]

Amir is a huge PPV star, wtf is Roach talking about?

[MRCHOKEaMF]

$6 - $10 million? He just made a minimum $18 million this weekend, $28 million for Marquez 4 and $25 million for Marquez 3. In that time frame you and I haven't made not 1% of that..which always befuddles me why is boxing now like hip-hop..frankly when it comes to financials who cares?

MANNY only gets 27% of his purse, now do the math again
