Why do Pacquiao's opponents get paid more money than Floyd's opponents?

[The Big Dunn]

Here is a purse breakdown of Floyd and Manny's most recent and upcoming opponent paydays:

Brandon Rios - $4 million guarantee
Timothy Bradley - $6 million guarantee
Chris Algieri - $1.5 million
Total $11.5 Million

Canelo Alvarez - $5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 1 - $1.5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 2 - $3 million guarantee
Total $9.5 million

It's interesting that Chris Algieri is getting paid just as much as Maidana got paid for his first fight with Mayweather. Even more interesting is that Rios earned more for his fight than Maidana earned in the rematch.

Also worth noting is that Cotto earned $12 million vs Pacquiao and $8 million vs Mayweather. Does anybody know why Pacquiao's opponents get paid more?

I inserted your initial post.

It's not believable you only limited your research since you noted cotto's total purse from the Manny fight and compared it with just the guarantee for the Floyd fight-so its clear you did some additional research.

Lets see-sept 2, 2014 join date, creates threads about who pays which opponents more and did jim gray put pressure on Floyd for a manny fight; your post history is 95% in anti Floyd or pro manny threads the other 5% the comments Alexander made about "chinamen"

Yeah, I think its clear you are another poster whose primary account is on time out.

does mayweather normally give ppv to his opponents, was it only pacquiao that was suppossed to have no ppv?

He usually gives some ppv revenue. In the case of manny, he initially offered him 50% of the ppv revenue. Manny turned that deal down. The 2nd time, there was no ppv revenue offered. To offset that, manny was guaranteed $40 mil upfront, which I think is the largest guarantee for an opponent in the history of the sport.

Imdazed response pretty much kills your argument.

I'm surprised you are going so hard, especially seeing how the TS argument draws such a small sample and purposely leaves out certain fights to skew the answer.

I didn't purposely leave out certain fights. I needed to start somewhere recent and went by their 3 most recent fights. This was more than enough time to spend on research for our boxing forum entertainment purposes

But, for the sake of it here is an updated list of their 6 most previous fights:

(Pacquiao)
Marquez 3 -$5 million guarantee
Bradley 1 - $5 million guarantee
Marquez 4 - $6 million guarantee
Brandon Rios - $4 million guarantee
Timothy Bradley - $6 million guarantee
Chris Algieri - $1.5 million

Total - $27.5 million

(Mayweather)
Canelo Alvarez - $5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 1 - $1.5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 2 - $3 million guarantee
Guerrero - $3 Million guarantee
Cotto - $8 million guarantee
Ortiz - $2 Million guarantee

Total - $20.5 million

You are free to believe and think whatever your heart desires about me, look at my join date, what I post about and I could care less about anything about you. I don't understand why people like you always find a way to get personal lol

I updated the list to reflect 3 more fights. It's not uncommon for people to work or think in 3's. I commented on the Cotto fight because it was a common opponent.

I didn't say anything personal about you. Since you commented on the cotto fight:

Cotto guarantee for Manny-$5 mil
Cotto guarantee for Floyd-$8 mil

OK then do the gurantees for cotto, hatton and shane. that's in 3's, which is how you tend to think.

i'd imagine bob would still be around, pacquiao can't just tell'em to *** off for a fight, so he still pays him and his other associates, in the end he'd be left with his usual 20mil or so

but i really dont have a clue how these things work so...

[Bullrider]

Why do Paqciao's opponents get paid more...

Because Mayweather is a greedy person who only cares about himself. If he had his way he would pay these opponents for significantly less. If you recall, he was furious when he learned Guerrero was asking for more money and dropped Alexander's name as an alternative. To him they should be grateful to even have a chance to get the opportunity. Talk about Arum being evil. This guy's greed is beyond compare.

I was just answering your question and reminding you that Manny turned down a fight where he was offered a whole lot of PPV revenue.

it was misleading when you asked was it only pacquiao that was supposed to have no ppv?

Stop being dishonest big dunn. PAC and Floyd could not come to agreement on other things and never turned down a fight because of a 50% PPV split. PAC agreed to floyds demands that held up the previous fight and guess what, Floyd all of a sudden did not want to share PPV... You are free to discuss but please be honest. Your fanboy status is front and center in this thread.
