    Schaefer and Oscar get a huge chunk of floyds purse despite his bs

    its in the contract to not name it though


    thats why he always talking pacs $ and not his own

    Arum took large from floyd too

    you never hear pac talking about his money nor ppvs

    what the USA tax system like ?

    For normal people isnt it like 30% and even higher for rich people like floyd ?

    then his big promotor schaefer get s a big chunk plus he owes GBP for tax bills, plus private managers like ellerbe and haymon and of course mayweather promotions went bust

    hes jealous of Pac

    pac pays little tax in a corrupt country like Philipine

    he mad !!!

    thanks, i didn't know that. I remember hearing a while back that floyd wants him to train only in the US for full OSDT. If so he would have paid 2 taxes? Thats crazy..,:patsch

    I think a Boxer should keep about 65-70% of his purse and then pay tax on the remaining amount.

    i think the point is that you probably shouldnt get into boxing for the money.

    even boxers that are famous and/or world class barely make anything substantial.

    ive heard ortizs biggest payday before floyd was 100,000 for the berto fight.

    Depends on how stupid the fighter is.

    If they walk away with 35% net, after everyone is payed out including taxes, they did ok. If they walk away with 10% or less they are a moron.

    Ortiz made $150,000 against Lamont Peterson and $400,000 for the Berto fight. According to Dan Rafael.

    I remember before Bradley-Alexander that Bradley said he keeps about 60% of his purse but he's on the high end of things because of how he minimizes expenses.

    Or they're people who don't have degrees, chose to fight for a living, and get taken for a ride by manipulative people (managers, promoters) who have far more knowledge in the financial aspect of things.

    so his team and managers get ZERO?... not possible

    only way he keeps 100% is if he pays the others guys out of his own pocket then pays himself back through the purse.... so his statement might be true... but misleading
