Why do Pacquiao's opponents get paid more money than Floyd's opponents?

[torosboxing75]

Here is a purse breakdown of Floyd and Manny's most recent and upcoming opponent paydays:

Brandon Rios - $4 million guarantee
Timothy Bradley - $6 million guarantee
Chris Algieri - $1.5 million
Total $11.5 Million

Canelo Alvarez - $5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 1 - $1.5 million guarantee
Marcos Maidana 2 - $3 million guarantee
Total $9.5 million

It's interesting that Chris Algieri is getting paid just as much as Maidana got paid for his first fight with Mayweather. Even more interesting is that Rios earned more for his fight than Maidana earned in the rematch.

Also worth noting is that Cotto earned $12 million vs Pacquiao and $8 million vs Mayweather. Does anybody know why Pacquiao's opponents get paid more?

Because Floyd is the piece of **** he claims Bob Arum is lol

Showtime got themselves into a big mess by paying Floyd a guaranteed $32mil per fight. Therefore there's very little left to pay his opponents.

Won't care about what? You do know there's rematch clauses?

Of course, but a rematch clause doesn't ensure any larger fee and definitely doesn't ensure his opponents fighting under his banner in the future.

you've used 3 fights, is that a big enough sample? in Canelo's case you shorted the number. How about using a larger sample and include guys like cotto and hatton and shane.

I think he's using figures from the start of Floyd's Showtime contract.

Cotto made 12mil vs Pac. Cotto made 8mil vs Floyd.

[The Big Dunn]

Cotto made 12mil vs Pac. Cotto made 8mil vs Floyd.

why are you comparing the total from the manny fight (including ppv revenue) with just the guarantee (without the ppv revenue) from the mayweather fight?

[Kingjames6Flee]

Cotto made 12mil vs Pac. Cotto made 8mil vs Floyd.

was that his guarantee or was that his sum total from his purse and ppv cut. either way that surprises me lol.
