Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Focused on Patching Things Up With Arum

Oscar is on that shii again

I don't know...but common sense would dictate based on Floyd breaking PPV record twice and boxing live gate records twice...he brings in more revenue than any other fighter not named De La Hoya currently on the GBP roster.

The reason Floyd Mayweather's is able to take home $80 million from a single night's work is because he owns every single aspect of his own events.

Whenever Mayweather fights someone, he puts up all the money for the entire show, himself .He pays for the venue,the insurance,the vendors and even his opponent's purse, out of his own pocket.

When Mayweather fought Saul Alvarez, he spent $15-20 million of his own money before a single punch was even thrown. He put also put aside $40 million for himself as an appearance fee. The major risk Floyd is taking is that all these expenses occur before the fight happens. If there was a natural disaster like a hurricane, the fight would be canceled and Floyd would be out of luck.

On the other hand, when the Alvarez fight did go through as planned, more than 2.2 million households ordered it on pay per View for $65 which generated $150 million worth of revenue. Even after a large percentage was taken out for the distributors and costs, Floyd was still left with a $45 million bonus. And 100% of that money went directly into his bank account (after taxes). When you add Mayweather's $40 million appearance fee and his $45 million PPV bonus , you can start to understand why he makes $85 million for a single fight.

Canelo got paid 12 million and you know Showtime got paid as well Plus Cable or satellite got a very big cut too.

Its a nice gesture on De la Hoya's part but its only a matter of time before Arums slaps him in the face with that olive branch.

They call him Goldenboy for a reason! See how easy it was for De La Hoya to make freaken fights with all the fighters IN THEIR PRIME!!
Sugar Shane Mosley ON ROIDS, Floyd ins his start of superstardom PPV, Manny in his breakthrough PPV, JCC, Gatti, Hopkins. Its amazing De La Hoya has had the balls to fight the best , true throwback.
Goldenboy made fights with Pacquiao (even after that contract rift), against marquez/delahoya/hatton/etc.

This ****** "cold war" started by ONE MAN, Floyd Mayweather Jr. He's turned everyone against Arum/Top Rank, and caused more network conflicts...smh For a man who says he's cleaning up the sport, he's throwing more gasoline on the fire. Mayweather always be talking crap bout De La Hoya.
