Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Dana White Carried My Bags, Now He's a Tough Guy

[daggum]

I didnt say Connor is not a Draw buut stacked cards and brand helps a lot.

Floyd in his time was drawing with over 1m with Oritiz LMAO or Hatton.and made bigger cash on this PPV,also it doesnt matter cuse this fight will never happen ,NEVER EVER,so wtf are we talking about ,what paying are we talking about?

well floyd-hatton didn't do a million but thats not the point. yes floyd was pretty popular in his prime on a consistent basis but his numbers have dropped except when he was fighting canelo and pac who were the biggest stars in boxing. if conor had fought ronda and brock lesnar he would be doing bigger numbers than against guys with average popularity like eddie alvarez.

conor is doing bigger numbers now than floyd on a consistent basis. why would floyd only give him 15 million? why is floyd pretending like he wants to fight conor and then not giving him a fair deal? why wont the fight ever happen? if you want to fight someone who is at least as popular if not more so than you, give him a fair deal. then if he rejects it you can say hes ducking. its an easy fight so why doesn't floyd want to fight? 50 percent against connor is more than zero which is what he gets by making joke offers.

if it were only brand why has connor done 1 million to 1.6 million ppv buys in his last 4 fights? only ronda came close to that popularity. the normal cards do 300-400 on average. floyd can't draw unless he has another star. connor can. floyd is delusional and should pay conor what he's worth since he brings in more people. doesnt matter what conor made in the past what matters is how much he can generate in this particular fight.

Meisha Tate and Amanda Nunes did 1.0 million buys as headliners in UFC 200 w/ no Conor or Ronda.

Why? Because the UFC stacks its big events with tremendous cards. That card had Lesnar, Aldo, Cormier (was supposed to have Jon Jones too).

The UFC is a brand. It's not just Conor and Ronda by a long shot. They are headliners for sure, but if you look at the cards both have fought on, its filled with really popular UFC fighters to ensure success. There's more to it than simply putting one fighter on the card.

In boxing its almost always just the main event carrying the load for sales.

Dana white also owned about 10 percent of the ufc meaning he made 400 million in one pop when it was sold and he still retains a minority interest in the company along with being the president. Also dana white doesnt have to split his money with al haymon, trainers, conditioning coaches, training camps, ect ect. Also floyd spends his money frivilously on cars and ***elry and also employs an army of security guards, housekeepers, ect ect ect. Im not surprised at all that dana white is worth more, in fact I dont think mayweather is worth as much as people think.

If you take the publicly disclosed purses dating back to the Genaro Hernandez fight, Floyd has made over $700 million in fighting compensation alone over his boxing career. (Note: this number comes from Floyd's last 16 fights; Gatti - Berto; and includes the Genarro Hernandez fight. The rest of his fights are not so easy to find financials for.)

If you tax this income at about 32% (This number could be closer to 40% depending in his tax structure); Mayweather is left with ~465-470 million. (*With the exception of the Gatti and Mitchell all his fights were in Vegas; meaning no state tax.)

So he's kept at lest $465-470 million from fights. This income does not include endorsements, sponsorship, gains from his investment portfolio, TMT clothing income, etc.

I'm not sure how much equity Dana was given in WME-IMG (the new owner of the UFC), but that ~400 million he made on the sale of UFC was definitely subject to taxes. I think its safe to say Floyd has made more money in life up to this point.

Definitely true, but "net worth" isnt about how much you made, its about how much you kept......

[OnePunch]

Well that's what you get for thinking. Usually doesn't work out well for you.

Mayweather is going to become the #1 promoter in boxing and he's going to remain the #1 promoter in boxing for many many years.

So if you don't like seeing him run his mouth, you're probably going to need a new sport to follow.

[Butch.McRae]

Definitely true, but "net worth" isnt about how much you made, its about how much you kept......

That's definitely true, but it's pretty clear that Floyd's net worth is higher looking at the above info. Unless Dana has some substantial assets that are unknown. Floyd may have spent a large sum on his house, cars, jets, ***elry, but all those things are included in your "net worth" due to the value associated with those items.

The only true "lost" income would come from clothes (maybe some luxury items have resale value too), and his ********. I'm of the belief that a lot of his "splurging" is phony and done to uphold the "money" persona. This guy has tried to sue strip clubs over expenses before lol

I agree that he deserv more then 15 or 25m much more ,but its only talking ,Why? cuse Conor is not stepping to the ring and Floyd to the Octtagon

ok i agree that there is no big names in MMa for Conor but come on Ronda ,and Lesnar ? this is fantasy both will probably be at Wrestemania.

MMA stars dont have long lifes like Floyd lets see how much will Conor time last.

He has a rather large entourage, and that cant be cheap. Kids and baby mommas cost money too, But the truth is that any speculation about his current net worth is just that, speculation. For example his stable of exotic cars. Did he buy them outright, or did his corporation lease them as promotional expense? How much money does his vanity record label cost him annually? Same for the merchandise company. And how good a gambler is he really, losses vs winnings?

Nobody knows. I think its safe to say though that BOTH dudes have PLENTY of money lol

All valid points, and you are definitely right on that last point lol

"I dont have anything against him/her buuut". Says the same about Arum, DLH, Rousey.So Dana carried your bags. Big FKN deal!
