Floyd's 40 million offer doesn't seem so bad now.

Read my post and see why this deal is only fair to Manny..he would stand to make $20,000,000 more than his high payday if he lost, and $30,000,000 more his high payday if he won.

Floyd would only make $5,000,000 more his high payday if he won, and $5,000,000 less his high payday if he lost. That is not a fair deal.

Also, see Lara-Williams as to why 0% should be left in the hands of the judges.

To add-Did you see Whitaker-Chavez...Whitaker won the fight easy, and the fight ended a draw..another source as to why 0% should be put in the hands of the judges.

 

The purse split isn't about the money? Don't be ridiculous. Bob's offer is silly. Based on the revenue that both fighters generate, 45% is probably the most that Pacquiao deserves. Bob's offer is great for Pacquiao. If Pac loses, he gets the same split that he deserves, if he wins, he gets a bigger split than he deserves. It's terrible for Mayweather. If he wins, he still only gets the purse that he should've gotten in the first place. If he loses, he gets much less than he should've received.

 

He lists a clear robbery in Whitaker-Chavez. This fight is the prime example of why 0% should be left in the hands of the judges.

 

i don't really care about floyd and oscar's revenue and their split.

 

In that senario there wouldn't be much PPV rev to split. Mayweather will be guaranteed 50mil and Pac would be guaranteed 40mil which would equal the 90mil.

No fighter as ever been guaranteed 40mil. Even Oscar was only guaraneed like 23mil when fighting Mayweather and made an additional 30mil because he held a 70-30split and because Mayweather was guaranteed only 10mil. If Oscar was guaranteed 40mil and Mayweather was guaranteed 30mil there would only be 9mil left from the PPV rev which Oscar would take 6mil from and Mayweather would take 3mil from.

If Manny and Mayweather took less guaranteed money like 30-20 then there would be 50+mil to split in the ppv rev making the split more important as there would be an extra 25mil to take from that on a 50/50split. But if they are both getting 40mil or more guaranteed then the ppv split is less important and they are only fightnig over splitting like 10-15mil.

 

you don't have to..but it's the perfect model to use for suggesting what Pac and May would split. :deal

It's the highest revenue maker to date. See, you just look at what Pac wants etc etc..

I listed a clear non bias post, and you just love Manny so much, you have to make everything about him seem like it was right. Your not a very good poster. Your the true definition of what a ******* is.

 

Oscar had a $23,300,000 guarantee with Floyd...he made $29,500,000 in revenue, thus he ended up with $52,800,000. The highest total earning by a fighter for one fight. Floyd took $16,200,000 of that revenue...they split $46,000,000 of the $135,000,000 (slightly more but that's an approx).:good

 

:happy Didnt know all this, i honestly believed it should be 50/50 but no way when average ppv numbers and fight earnings are this far apart, 60% 40% or 55% 45% is fair and i believe Pac could double his highest earning with 40 or 45 percent! If he is smart he should leave Arum for this fight so he gets what he earns not what Arum gives him!

 

I don't know if he has a "buyout" option in his contract? If he does not, then he is contractually obligated to stay with Arum and can't leave him. Good post though.:good

 

Most analyst assume (and I think rightly) that this fight would break most records - including May/DLH. I don't think anyone believes that Floyd will take LESS then his career high payday.

Now, as to whether it will be as large a percentage of Pac's career high...well, what does one have to do with the other? If the revenue split is 50/50 and both men walk away with highest purse they've ever gotten, what does it matter that Pac's percentage increase is more then May's percentage increase? We're still talking about high water marks for both guys.

 

Wow!!!
Close thread!!

Interesting read for those who don't think profit sharing parity isn't fair. Good to know that mainstream media knows how this whole thing works.

 

I see what your saying..:thumbsup

but your only using one of the 3 items I showed you...Tie it in with the numbers and the revenue each produces to see why Floyd should get the higher payday.:good

 

I for one believe a fight like this both fighters make this this highest grossing fight in the history of the sport, Not just Floyd himself but both, Floyd will never make this kind of money with any other fight why is that?

simple truth, its because Manny does bring something to the table he is a draw, and considering that Floyd has fought once a year for the last few years and Manny faced guys like Clottey, Cotto, and Margarito along the way he carried the sport in a sense while Floyd was on urge Island.

I believe Manny should get a 50/50 split along with PPV revenue as well, or Floyd should settle for a 45/45 type deal and the addition 10% to the winner but Manny must get PPV revenue out of this if not the fight doesnt make sense and it doesnt mean Manny would be ducking its smart business decisions

 

I read that and it's a fair article...The problem is, Chris used ALL PPV's by both fighters. We know Manny was on PPV before Floyd...We know Manny was more known earlier in his career, thus he has been on more PPV fights. It does not matter what Kobe made 10 years ago or what Montana made in 1988.

Do you agree, in that they should just have a 3rd party accounting firm just get all the numbers out and determine the split from there?
