    Mayweather reduced the Middle men by going to a fight by fight structure. No futures, no contract extension. His freedom means they had o give him the best available price.

    Let's look at Mayweathers career directly before and after top rank from what was reported. *Fighters purses are not divided and any errors public reporting in could change numbers significantly.

    Mayweather 25 mil vs Hatton 11 mill
    920k ppv 36 million for the fighters
    Reported 47 mil ppv + 10 mil gate revenue generated 57 mil
    fighters make 63%

    Mayweather 25 mil vs Delahoya 58 mil
    2.4mil ppv Golden Boy. 83 million for fighters
    Reported ppv and gate 163 mil.
    Fighters make 50%

    Mayweather 8 mil vs Baldomir 1.6 mil
    325k ppv Dan goosen 9.6 million for fighters
    16.3 million.
    Fighters made 53%
    ------------------
    Mayweather 5 million vs Judah 3 million
    370k ppv Top Rank. 8 million for fighters
    Reported made 16.8 million
    fighters made 47%
    **judah was garaunteed 1 million plus a percentage of profits over 7 million(equivalent to over 140k ppv*number not adjusted for gate)

    Mayweather 3.2 million vs Gatti 3.5 million
    340k ppv. Top Rank 6.7 million for fighters
    Reported 15.3 million generated
    fighters made 43%

      Oscar is the key.
      Hopkins fights for $300,000 for years. Fights Oscar, makes $10million.
      Floyd makes $8 million fighting baldomir. Fights Oscar, makes $25 million and never looks back.
      Pacquiao makes $1 -$2 million. Fights Oscar, makes $10 million and never looks back.
      De LA hoya is the king maker

        Its still baffling how he kept people coming back for more after each 12 round decision.
        That 32 million for fighting Robert Guerrero is the greatest heist in boxing history.

            Roger and his dad must have given him some good advice.

            How long was Leonard around in Floyd's career? He's a **** but a smart one.

              Meanwhile the rest of Haymon's harem are fighting for short money. Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Stevenson, Wilder still haven't earned more than $2M for a title fight. Their stock is dropping and legacies are tarnished.

                    Floyd was so good that he was hated. He embraced that along with the role of....i am my own boss. People hate Floyd because they are jealous of his success. A loud mouth black man that did not hold back.

                    Some loved him some despised him for that.

                    All of it equaled financial success.

                    I am a huge fan of his.
