Some purses for Saturday's card: Mayweather 32 Million, Maidan 1.5 million

[turkas]

So Maidana was really the one that was bending over to get the Floyd fight?

Not necessarily, maybe he chose a smaller purse in hopes of more PPV upside. The purse is only what the fighter is paid upon entering the ring, but there is a lot of other money to divvy up later on.

Also this purse for Maidana reflects what Showtime is expecting this PPV to do numbers wise, which isn't much. They spent almost no money promoting this fight, no media tour, only time Floyd was doing interviews outside of fight week was when GBP had other fights happening.
Showtime is trying to control costs so they don't run into another Guerrero money pit like last year...

GBP promotions cuts Maidana's check not showtime.

Joshua Clottey got paid more than Maidana.

Robert Guerrero got $3 million.

I doubt there won't be much upside, if any, for Maidana from the PPV. Not when Floyd has such a high guarantee.

[Jimmy 23]

Ortiz make 2.5 without % PPV, Guerrero 3 without % PPV.I think Marcos is getting some PPV

[TommyToughNuts]

Maidana will live like a king down in Argentina with this payday.

[Furn]

Floyd always offers a flat fee with no upside doesn't he ? He didnt even offer Pac any ppv. I wouldn't think Maidana would be any different.

[SoulByThePound]

what were Maidanas previous purses? Post those numbers then talk

[Divine Hammer]

Joshua Clottey got paid more than Maidana.

Robert Guerrero got $3 million.

it almost doesn't even feel like maidana is fighting mayweather with that kind of pay.

i hope this motivates maidana even more to go balls to the wall against mayweather.
