Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather, McGregor Are Not Serious, Looking For Press

[Cheek busting]

Conor Mcgregor will never see a $15 million dollar payday in the UFC ...and that's crazy considering he's their only star. Broner makes more fighting cans.

What?

Lol Conor made like 40 million in 2016.

You know the 3 million guarantee is not his total purse, right?

And he gets a chunk of the PPV revenue, yes?

Conor made more in the Diaz rematch than Broner has in his entire career.

Has Broner even made more than 1.5 million for a fight? Maybe 2 tops?

what even more sad how top prank and manny the fraud rip off fans with ******ed mismatch ppv's.... First vargas now jeff hornets nest.... Lets not forget the ppv rip offs by this snake like algieri and rios fights..... Add clottey to that list also....... No one is a bigger fraud in boxing than bob and manny

Jeff horn would beat the brakes off conor mcgregor in a boxing match, take his cheeks then knock him out. The only reason you cheerlead for mayweather and haymon is because you are a BBC lover arent you?

Did you see the post I was responding to?

It was saying Conor will never make 15 million in a fight (he has).

And that Broner makes more fighting cans (he hasn't). Conor has made more in one fight than Broner has in his entire career.

So what is your point?

And no - Floyd did not make half a billion in 2015. He got a 60% cut from about half a billion, which, after taxes, and his manager fees paid to Haymon, probably left him with about 150 million. Thats not even including the network and cable's take from the purse. Prolly even less than that.

Then he made another what? 40 million against Berto. About half after taxes, and manager fees paid.


he didn't even make a quarter a billion.


But yes - Floyd has been fighting for about a decade and a half longer than Conor. That's to be expected.


When Floyd was Conor's age, he was just starting to crack his first 15-20 million dollar payday too.


ALL TOO EASY! Thank you, that's all! NEEXXXTTT!

That's a lie. According to Forbes he only made 300 million which is still alot but alot closer to a quarter billion.

Lol he didn't even make close to that.

Do the math, and you can see it doesn't add up.

The entire pot from the Pac/Floyd fight was only half a billion.

Cable companies and the distributors take like what? 20-30% right off the top?

That leaves Floyd with a 60% cut of whatever is left.

Floyd then has to pay his boss Al Haymon (standard managerial fees are anywhere from 20-30%)

After taxes, and all, Floyd probably made a little under 200 million (including the Berto fight).

usually i would agree but with how much money they could make im not so sure. in my opinion it would sell even more then manny vs pac and with that money at stake im not so sure they wont do it. if mcgregor losses which he will so what he wont lose anything or be thought any less and mayweather has earned his right to have a silly fight like this if he dam well pleases. time will tell but to say its for sure just for press im not so sure

[JASON SHAW]

huh? He wasn't complaining about what they're doing?

In fact - just the opposite: He said it's quite enjoyable.

But damn, tell us how you really feel.

Arum is a legend, and he's made some of the greatest fights of all time in boxing.

he has also been investigated by the fbi and justice department for fixing fights, paying fighters to take dives and fake weigh ins with shady weight machines.... All this is public record...... Google it....

[Boxfan83]

The biggest dirty snake in boxing bob arum the media whore is complaining about someone wanting press???? What a slimy dirt bag this guy is....... All this dirtbag does is lie in the media hahahaha.... He cant stand floyd being so successful while manny fights bums like vargas and jeff hornets nest......

Vargas is not some bum. He would destroy Berto, Victor Ortiz, & Robert Guerrero. And I am not saying this to protect Manny, dont realy give 2 ****s about him.

[Boxfan83]

The only thing that McGregor brings to the table is 1 punch power. Other than that this fight will look like the 1st 4 rds of Ortiz vs Mayweather.
