Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Probably Made 275, 276 Million From 5/2

I'm sure Uncle Sam and the various ******** establishments in Las Vegas will be delighted to hear it.

Lacked fireworks is an understatement. That fight was a robbery of the boxing fans/public. Hate to see Pac was involved with it but it takes 2 to tango...

[SN!PER]

The fight will go down in history as the biggest disappointment of all time.

It's like marrying a gorgeous woman and taking her on an expensive cruise liner after getting married and then right before sex she says she has herpes.

Even if Floyd made $300 Million he'd find a way to spend $301 Million...

Not that I'm salty or anything.

It depends on perspective. The revenue for the promoters of the event could be circa 500 million, whilst the actual event brought in more than that. It's the likely outcome actually.

PPV sold 4.4 minimum at $100; that is 440 million. There's the money from sponsorship, the money made at the gate, money for hosting the event. Broadcasting rights overseas had to be purchased. I'm not sure how the fight being broadcasted at bars factors into the equation, is it something that would factor into the ppv numbers (would they increase the no. to account for the price paid by the bar)?

He is lying if pay per view is 500 million he does not get 60% of that the ppv company who airs it gets half. So he gets 60% of 250. Plus 60% of gate minus what mgm keeps.

just sharing my perspective, but normally the fighters on a fight card split 1/3 total fight revenue based off of final forecasting. i think thats where his 60% of coming from, not the full ppv. but you also have to factor in that he's the lead promoter and the mgm and showtime both have exclusive deals with him. if his fight night check was 100 mill like he showed to ppl, the back end of his money would be from ppv, what the mgm pays him, his promotional companies revenue, and his fight contract with showtime, not to mention fan duel and hublot made sponsorship deals with him.

The Best Ever claims to be better than the Great, Muhammad Ali? I beg to differ.

The smartest boxer ever, yes... in and out of the ring, but not greater than SRR and Ali in terms of being an icon to the sport. You aren't a role model or a big icon outside of boxing Floyd Mayweather, we def for sure know that!

Wow you made 275 million for fighting Pac? Congratulations, you just pulled the best robbery job in history. Loser

Anyways with all that money and boxing talent you'll never have skill with the ladies or class. Go try and get someone in three A list movies loser.

He definitely isn't greater, but he's the better boxer of the 3.

Not only the smartest boxer ever, but quite possibly the best technician ever.

That's not for nothing.

Now the question is, can he read a book that's 275, 276 pages long?

Or can he go 275, 276 days without beating up on a woman, ********, assaulting someone, or having gay sex?
