Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Demolishing Revenue Records

[Dan Gutierrez]

Too big of an amount to earn and not to share. The world knows that Manny Pacquiao will share with the poor. Floyd Mayweather Jr. will share the earnings with his friends just using him. Just like what was said before that Manny Pacquiao will fight for charity and chicken Floyd arrogantly responded that he only fight for the money he can pocket. Big difference between the two fighters.

Wait, are you saying that Floyd isn't charitable? Floyd is charitable as f**k. Without Floyd those poor strippers at the Spearmint Rhino would be literally starving to death.

I could be wrong but if either fighter comes out dirty, the fight is off and the opposing fighter sues the other fighter in court for way more than $5million. On top of that, the dirty fighter is suspended from boxing for 4 years. If they agree on the $5million dollar fine, that's it, that's their agreed upon punishment, nothing else happens. The dirty fighter walks away with his $100+ million and gives a mere $5 million dollar fine.

From what Ellerbe and Arum said, it sounds like what is currently in agreement is way worse than $5mill.

that is all true. but koncz in addittion to all of that wanted 5 million immediate payout. guess they got monetary obligation like taxes that should be paid in time. koncz never said that that dirty fighter couldnt be sued for hundred of millions ellerbe said that. now who to believe.

So if they are thrashing the live gate record, I wonder what they will do to the PPv record..

I'm think they get 3.4 million buys, higher than my previous estimates... This fight has hit Godzilla size proportions

It certainly has hit the mainstream... I don't think I've heard this many non-boxing folks talking about the sport in my 30-some year life. Especially this far before a fight. It'll be great for the sport if the if it's a good fight.

Totally agree, at work I have heard so many non boxing fans talk about this fight, and planning parties for it... This thing is gonna be double what Oscar/floyd was..

So you're going only by what is presented in the media which is a small part of a bigger picture.

You must'a forgot Floyd has paid the funeral expenses for a fallen fighter in the past.

That's in addition to donating to other charitable causes which aren't publicized.

And he has likely helped more people than we know.

That's one way to keep money circulating and preserving wealth.

Go let Pac punch you a few hundred times before you tell Floyd how to spend his EARNINGS. Charitable donations are a tax break in this country so I am more than sure Floyd donates as much as legally possible. I feel that it is some real jealous **** to tell another man how he should spend what he earns. If you want that type of money, do something to make people want to pay you that type of money. And buying Puffy's old mansion when Pac has other mansions already was real charitable huh?

which one do you believe, Arum saying "We offered 5 million penalty and they REJECTED IT" or "Believe me if Floyd fails we will collect way more than 5 million" ?

Those are two statements that he made on the interview.

[Rath]

Any smart lawyer can use that against you in court dummy and that 5mil being only money exchanged

which one do you believe, Arum saying "We offered 5 million penalty and they REJECTED IT" or "Believe me if Floyd fails we will collect more than 5 million " ?
