Comments Thread For: Mayweather, Pacquiao Top Forbes Highest Paid Athletes List

[Pu·gi·list]

"Mayweather has typically shunned endorsement deals, but inked agreements with Hublot, FanDuel and Burger King ahead of the May fight."

They only paid $1m each... where did the rest come from? (genuinely curious)

Sry to double post but remember when you called me an idiot when I said that the gate would be 50 mill plus, and that they would sell the ppv for a 100 dollars and it would get at least 3 mill buys?

Pac should have taken the $40 mil back then. He wouldn't have gotten injured at all, put up a better performance and we wouldn't have heard his crying afterwards. Imagine a healthy, younger Pac taking that $40 mil instead of robbing his fans, lying to the commission, max, media and the rest of the world afterwards

The product line was a massive failure and scrapped about a year in. The HP tablets just weren't competitive.

Ouch, this one will sting.

Now that all is said and done, all of us were wrong about the financial aspect of this fight at one point or another. Floyd and Manny made more than all posters assumed they would.

Neither of them made mistakes in terms of maximizing their individual purses for this fight.

No they didn't. Good for Manny, monetary wise, for not taking that offer. I guess his fans are ok with him getting paid and robbing them of a potential atg performance that could have happened long ago.
