    Whether Pacquiao is with Arum or a promotional free agent, the $40 million offer from Mayweather is to low.

    For a fight of this magnitude it exceeds De La Hoya v Mayweather easily, I expect it will do 3 to 3.5 million homes at $75 a pop where talking $225-250 million PPV.

    Live Gate = $25-30 million

    International rights, Sponsors etc

    I believe there will be $140 million in the pot for the fighters.
    50-50 both fighters could make $70 million, the reason Mayweather offered Pacquiao $40 million because he is aiming for the magic figure of $100 million for himself.

    I can respect that answer:good,whatever choices he has made, he has done well for himself.

    Arum has done well with PAC in certain respects,( made him who he is today) but at the same time arums influence is very costly.

    If he stays he should restructure his deal, he has earned it and with a max of 2-3 fights left, it's only right.

    Relax, I wasn't talking specifically about you. It's about the board in general. Everyone knows how much every fights makes. I guess that should be given since most here are lawyers and experts in PED's. :D

    If you weren't such a think *****, I'd give you the New York Times link explaining Mayweather's situation with GBP. Until then, just google it.

    Your math is screwed. 3.5M at $75? This fight would be lucky to beat De La Hoya vs Mayweather after all the bull****.

    No other promotional companies match Arum? So how are GBP PPV's doing better with Mayweather than Top Rank's PPVs with Pacquiao?

    GBP is doing a great job, they put on fantastic undercards as well.

    It will exceed Mayweather v De la Hoya easily

    Remember going into that fight Mayweather was getting numbers of only 300k on PPV and De La hoya in the region of 900k when he fought Mayorga
    but together they done 2.44 million

    But this fight you got 2 big A sides of boxing that are doing well into the million 1.3,1.4,1.5 regardless off the oppenant, when and if they face each other it will blast any record in oblivion when was the last time you had 2 major box office stars doing numbers like that and then to face off against each other??

    3-3.5 definitely. and it will be priced higher than usual $75 dollars is likely.

    Mayweather knows the value of this fight, that's why he is trying to dictate terms and try to bag himself a unbelievable purse of 9 figures

    They can charge what they like at the gate and it will sell out top tickets will likely be atleast $3,000 face value.

    Let me get this straight Pac's the one contacting Floyd and he's ducking? Great logic there.
