Comments Thread For: Mayweather at Ringside Builds Speculation For Pacquiao II

[Doctor_Tenma]

That rematch is a circus, one because we don't know what Mayweather has left and second because Pacquiao lost some steps as well. Anyone else but each other, first fight wasn't received well as is.

From $20m down to $4m is some heck of a haircut though. Taking a fight for 20% of what you use to get, yet still talking about fighting on (after allegedly making $100m off of the Mayweather fight and $20m off the Bradley3 "retirement fight") isn't a good look.

yeah but he gets a percent off this fight. even if it sells 200k he will make 7-8mil but yeah still a big paycut

200k PPV buys @$70, gets you to $14m, $7m in the pot after paying everyone outside of the tent. With Jessie Vargas getting $2.5m, the number gets downs to $4.5m, before Pacqiao or Arum take a penny.

A long way to go for Pacquiao to get his guarantee, Arum to get paid, and Pacquiao to then make another $4m on the upside.
