The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

cool story..why you worried about me..focus on the numbers and take a deep breath..quit getting all mad behind your computer...i'm 29..you were wrong in your guessing my age.

So again, Floyd negotiated..you may not like that he negotiated but he did..

Look at this guy's responses...wow, you really butthurt.:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:lama

 

The fight is PROJECTED to do 3,000,000 buys and a split for the fighters of $100,000,000...

 

great answer. maybe floyd should hire u as a consultant :roll:

 

Let's hear what a Yahoo sports writer has to say....

This content is protected

In the end, the Pacquiao fight will come down to money, which Mayweather already has and would certainly earn in abundance. It is here where he can and should bend.
As sure as Pacquiao needed to give into Mayweather's PED-testing demands, Mayweather needs to offer Pacquiao something close to a 50-50 split.

Instead, he wants Pacquiao to accept more money than the Filipino champion can get fighting anyone else (say, $40 million). Mayweather believes he's entitled to the rest.

This is a fight that could approach $300 million. Seriously. It's a likely two million-plus pay-per-view buys (Mayweather-Oscar de la Hoya did 2.4 million). They may charge $100 a pop for high definition (it was $70 for the Cotto fight). That's $200 million before the live gate, sponsorships, merchandise, hosting fee, closed circuit and on and on.

And there could always be a rematch.

Pacquiao has said he'll take less than 50 percent. Maybe in that jail cell Mayweather will realize that something that could be close to 80-20 isn't reasonable. Offer 55-45, fall back to 52-48. We could still be talking about $150 million for Mayweather.

 

Don't compare ODLH's to floyd. Floyd is nowhere near Oscar's level when it comes to PPV attraction. Without Oscar, floyd wouldn't even get that much. ODLH, he can have two to three fights and still make as much.

 

Floyd averages more buys than Oscar De La Hoya per PPV..:rofl:deal

you muh fukas hate Floyd.:rofl:rofl

If you were right I would admit it...but Floyd just broke Oscar's PPV purse record...Oscar did $52,800,000 with Floyd as his opponent..only $31,000,000 with Manny as his opponent...FLOYD IS MAKING $53,000,000 TO $55,000,000 WITH COTTO and made $44,000,000 with Ortiz, who had never been on a PPV...wow your fault..

You should just leave the forum now. There goes what the **** you said ******.

 

I wonder why no major sportswriters claim Floyd's offer of $40 with no PPV is a fair offer? Many of them are Floyd fans too, especially from Yahoo Sports.

I wonder why...

:think

 

Floyd is not going to make 50 million against Cotto. . The total revenue was 94 million. As other posters have explained, like 1/3 of that goes to cover expenses, cable company, etc. . . They will end up splitting about 60 million of that. . . It was 65/35 Floyd split. He was guaranteed 32 million, so he'll probably end up making around 35, MAYBE 40 million with the live gate revenue, sponsors, etc. . BUT THEN, Oscar De La Hoya, and GOlden Boy are getting their cut, and Al Haymon is getting his cut. . .

The DLH/Floyd fight only had like 70 million that actually ended up being split between Oscar, and Floyd. . So it might not even be 60 million that was split between Floyd, and Cotto. . BUT, since floyd IS NOT HIS OWN BOSS, he was guaranteed 32 million. . . So he'll at least make that (before Haymon gets his cut.


Pacquiao really doesn't make THAT much less than Floyd. . Arum just gets the standard 27% promotor's cut. . . I did the math, and against Marquez, he probably made around 28-30 million dollars after revenue. . .


However, all that matters is that it DOES NOT MATTER "what Pacquiao makes" . . It matters how much he is responsible for the DEMAND of Pacquiao/Mayweather. . He is equally responsible for the demand of the fight - he is NOT an "opponent". . To cut him out of ALL THE BACKEND PPV REVENUE?!?!

I think Floyd does deserve a bigger percentage, but NO MORE than 55/45... I think 55/45 would be good... but it's CRAZY to try to cut Pac out completely from the PPV revenue.

 

The fight is PROJECTED by Bob Arum, Oscar De La Hoya, and Teddy Atlas to split $100 million amongst the fighters.:deal

Also, Floyd holds the record for highest purse now...more than Oscar. Keep coming at me *******s..you fool's are pathetic..

NOW, YOUR JUST ARGUING THE NUMBERS NOT BEING TRUE..YOU WENT WAY OFF OF WHAT I ORIGINALLY SAID TO TRY AND MAKE YOUR POINT...LMFAO...:rofl:rofl

 

floyd is just pricing himself out of the fight. he came up with a drug test because he knew manny would never go for it. once manny said yes, he said no to the split. floyd is running scared. he never fights top fighters in their primes. he avoided cotto, mosley, paul williams, and margarito all in their primes when pac was fighting 122, 130 pound fighters.

 

Because they are sports bloggers and not financiers maybe?

 

I do wonder though. Without having the fight done on cinco de mayo, having an up and coming mexican fight in the undercards, floyd fighting cotto, I wonder though if ever the amount generated will be similar if let's say the fight will happen this saturday or in june.

By the way. If what you are saying here is also what floyd has been saying, that is one scared mother****er.

 

holy **** u guys are really going at it :rofl im not even going to bother reading thes long comments.

pac doesnt deserve 50/50. numbers dont lie.

that is all

 

So now you believe Bob Arum?



Whatever fits your agenda.

:rofl


Why not split the revenues based on real numbers? Like average PPV buys. You think Floyd offering Pac a flat guarantee that he had Pac's best interest in mind? :rofl

 

Revenue is what is left over man..

Floyd was guarantee'd $25,000,000 with Ortiz, and ended up with $19,000,000 more than that...Ortiz Mayweather did 1,250,000 buys while Cotto Mayweather did 1,500,000 buys...thus $21,000,000 in ppv profits is fair to say..

Take Manny for instance...with Cotto he had a $7,400,000 guarantee...the fight did 1,250,000 buys and Pac ended up making $22,500,000 (according to Bob Arum he made $25,000,000 for that fight)...

But your missing the point..I responded to what you said...but more importantly..this is about each fighters past purses...even if your right...let's say Floyd does $17,000,000 in PPV buys (which is not likely as he'll probably do more) he still gets $49,000,000...

So explain how it's realistic for Pac to get $17,600,000 in PPV profit at 1,250,000 buys with Cotto..but is not realistic for Floyd to get $21,000,000 in PPV profits off of 1,500,000 buys?:think:think
