Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor Gate Falls Short of May-Pacquiao Record

[pikeylyons]

Makes more sense Pacman/Mayweather generated more

[jonnyc420]

Dana White and Leonard Ellerbe are looking like some big time liars right about now. Where are all the fanboys saying this broke records at now?

Record, smecord. Either way, they're all laughing all the way to the bank & we're telling ourselves that it was an entertaining night @ the circus, err, fights.

Gate record or not Everybody made a lot of money and that's all that counts. The fight was fun to watch as well. (TMT)

comical seeing people in here trying to celebrate. not sure exactly what they are celebrating tho the amount money this fight generated in such short time is unbelievable. my guess is the ppv comes up just short as well at like 4.4 or 4.5 with the reported split tho its looking like floyd is actually going to make more off this then the pac fight.

Any idea of the split. Is it 70/30 Floyd?

[harry-greb]

Nah he says he will make 300 milliom whennin reality aftrr he pays haymon and thr taxman and showtime, etc he will prolly tale home 135 milliom which is still crazy but dont let him fool u into thinking he is making closento 400 milliom or whatever crazy figure he says

Yeah he does love to round up those numbers.
Made roughly 225 million vs pacquiao but Floyd rounds it up to 300

Dana has spent so much time lying about how much he pays his fighters that the truth is a distant memory and if ellerbe told me the grass was green I wouldn't believe him

[Nomadic]

If those numbers are right Ellerbe better lay low for a few days.

But sh^t you can't really complain at 2nd place all time when one guy hadn't fought in 2 years & one guy had never fought in the ring lmfao.

You got that right.

Floyd haters in here acting like this is some sort of failure or something.


$55,414,865.79 is the second largest gate in the history of boxing. That's 35+ million more than Mayweather vs Alvarez($20,003,150.00) which previously held the record for the second largest gate.

[QballLobo]

When ticket sales were slow in the beginning of August Ellerbe said they were already at $60 million live gate and said they were at $80 million during fight week.
Guess Ellerbe learned math at the same school Jr. learned to read.
