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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

1.5 mil was his guarantee-it didn't include any US or Argentinian ppv money he got. Algieri's guarantee is 1.5 mil-he will earn more depending on sales.

Just an FYI-you are varguing manny's opponents get more yet you listed Maidana and algieri both getting $1.5 mil guarantees.

Oh god, you can't be this dumb?

My point is..........

My point is that Floyd is the typical "American". All they think about is money and it is ruining him right now. It can never be just about money. If it is, that's a problem with anyone. He's not a good person or fair one for that matter. He wants ALL of the money. ALL of the girls. ALL of the fan's support. He refuses to make money with anyone and that is ruining him. FACT.

Depends on what you go by. Everything out of Arum's mouth is exaggerated. But given Pacquiao's low guarantee (what's actually filed with the NSAC), it makes sense that there is more money available for his opponent.

What's reported by the NSAC is the amount paid to the fighter that night. By law a certain percentage of a fighters (Pacquiaos) purse has to be paid on fight night with the remainder paid after. So when someone like floyd reports that Pac's highest purse was $6mil, that's not accurate. $6mil was just a portion of the entire guarantee.

I know that as part of Pac's contract renewal, he's Arum and HBO got together to guarantee Pac a $20mil guarantee per fight so long as Pac is contracted to fight on HBO

You're talking about two different things. Whether a percentage of the guarantee is paid on or by fight night doesn't affect what he has to report to the NSAC.

to be fair he's stated countless times he gives no ****s on ones perspective regarding his character. he just wants to make money and thats that. i understand where you are coming from tho because an egotistical behavior would ruin anyone due to a lack of clarity on whats best.

Once again...I dont know how accurate it is because Floyd is known to contradict himself and lie, but prior to his Cotto fight, Floyd stated that the way his deal is structured, he keeps 100% of the ppv money. Now maybe he gave Maidana Argentenian ppv revenue but I dont think Floyd gave up any U.S ppv.

That's not the same thing as saying Cotto gets no ppv Deevel916. I don't know what Maidana got, just that it was more than the $1.5 mil guarantee.

He may be a greedy narcissist, but that doesn't make the statement that fighters get more fighting Manny than they do him true.

Do you think Pac's highest purse was $6mil (according to Floyd)?

[IMDAZED]

I don't know what his highest purse is and neither do you. We do know what he has to report to the NSAC as his guarantee (read: guarantee) and that's that.

[The Big Dunn]

Do you think Pac's highest purse was $6mil (according to Floyd)?

that's not according to Floyd. Read the article I sent you above. The author indicated Manny is usually guaranteed around that amount and then gets the bulk of his total purse from PPV.

That whole "bulk from PPV" angle doesn't make sense. Yeah I could see another $5-7m. Tops $10m but that's a stretch. Anyway, Pac is still the second highest paid fighter in the world. Clocking $15m a fight is nothing to sneeze at.
