Oscar's all about the fans!

I see. How does that relate to this:



It must mean that Floyd pays for everything. He earned 85M for Canelo which was 45M from PPV bonus and 40M that he paid to himself.



Just pay yourself some money and get rich.

he gets that $40 million after the fight guarantee from Showtime you big dummy

By your logic, floyd pays himself 40M and that is considered his income? What kind of accounting is that?

Read above what I wrote you guys are so ****ing dumb.

Your exactly right... 100%

Timothy Bradley was only rated NO.3 P4P because of that horrible decision win over Manny in fight # 1. His barely beat Provodnikov, and that was Provodnikov's 1st fight at welterweight. Prior to Manny, Bradley's only fight at WW was against a fat Joel Casamayor. After Provodnikov, Bradley got a close win over Marquez, who himself is no legend at WW. Maidana has done more at WW than Bradley. A Khan win over Collazo will put him right where Bradley is now. Bradley has never come close to Guerrero at WW, or Canelo at JMW.

Lol, another Tard taken DOWN!

Floyd Mayweather makes to step in the ring. After breaking Pay Per View records, Floyd took home roughly $85 million from his last fight against Saul Alvarez. How is this possible? Why does Floyd make so much more bank than Pacman?

In order to make the really big money in the world of professional fight promotion, you need to follow the Floyd Mayweather's highly creative and highly lucrative business model. The reason Floyd Mayweather is able to take home as much as $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 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.

Oscar did.....

as for Oscar and his reconciliary tone, i'm all for it, and so should ALL boxing fans. Its better for the sport and better for the fans. Hope its able to be worked out. Shafter just needs to get on board and quit being an as.shole about it. He makes sh.it personal when in reality its business!

Floyd's talking about praying for Arum, Oscar's talking about hugging him. Anyone think Bob might be ill?

I hope not, but it's an odd turn of events.
