Pacquiao-Mayweather, which is the more FAIR offer?

You and Scar can go join the group of people who have no place in these threads - Fans of the sport with some common sense and lack of bias.

 

I think Mayweather was projecting 100mil in rev to share as was thinking a 60-40 split. The only problem with that is that if there is over 100mil to split all that goes to Mayweather. But all they would have to do is negociate that if the rev for the fighters to split is over 100mil that Manny should get more then the 40mil guaranteed. Like if there is 120mil between the fighters then Manny should be able to make 50mil. If there is 105 available Manny could make 41mil or 42mil.

 

Yes, but a flat fee gives Pac nothing should the fight do well and break records, and with 100% of the PPV Mayweather is the only one to benefit the better the fight does (as you mention above). Offering no PPV money is non-starter for a fight of this magnitude. It's expected to break PPV and fight revenue records and no-one knows by how much. A flat-fee does not cover that. It's imperative Pac gets his 50%, , he deserves it bringing half the interest for the fight.

Floyd projecting $100M is a way below what should be projected, if he and Cotto split $60-70M for a fight that did 1.5M buys, which this fight would smash.

The split you suggested is maybe a little inflated on Mayweather's end. $50M for him gauranteed, $40M for Pac's side and 50-50 on the PPV, even if it's only after a certain amount of projected buys (as you also mentioned above, noted), that would get it done. Problem is that it's too reasonable, and Mayweather has proven he is not when it comes to Pacquiao.

 

Unbiased post. :good

This solves everything.

Not unless somebody will change the goal post once again...

You mad? That's very interesting.

If Floyd was guaranteed $10 million and ended up with $25 million, he made $15 million from PPV revenues.

Oscar was guaranteed $23.3 million, made $30 million more from PPV, for a total of $53 million.

The split stays the same, even on PPV revenue, 67-33 split for Oscar.

Now let's say Pac-Mayweather equals De La Hoya-Mayweather. We all know it will break the record since you have 2 certified PPV stars. PPV price wil probably be higher too. Look at all that PPV revenue Floyd will collect all to himself. In the end, Floyd will end up close to a 70-30 split in his favor if Pac agrees to a flat $40 million guarantee.

That's what Floyd got from Oscar, having only 3 PPV fights wth a high of 379,000 PPV buys. Pac has almost as many PPV fights as De La Hoya and even has more total buys than Floyd, though Floyd averages more.

So even with your detailed breakdown, it doesn't change the fact that Floyd is either pricing himself out, or is looking to screw Pac with the split.

So keep trying to spit in my eye like some angry little child. I can see I've gotten under your skin. All your numbers don't add up to justify Floyd's ridiculous offer. The whole world can see it.

:hi:

 

while 50/50 seems fair its really not...Pac just is not the top earner of the two and the numbers show....

however Floyd's deal is far more ludicrous than the 50/50

I still favor Floyd getting the higher share just not the raping he is trying to do.

 

That would be the equivalent of a 30-70 split after Floyd collects all the PPV revenue. Floyd got that equivalent (33-67) from Oscar having only 3 PPV fights under his belt.

 

****ing accountants!!

 

Yep. He sure as **** ain't getting that much from Arum. How anyone could see a guarenteed offer of 40 million as 'unfair' is beyond me.

 

His purse was $30-35M vs Marquez and Mosley. Purses have little to with the determination of the split, it's the money their fights generate.
It's beyond you because you are not accounting for the possibility there could be $150M or more to split between them by the end of it all, which would have Mayweather taking $100M+. $40M flat is a paltry offer for a fight of this magnitude expected to break all records.

 

Yep, 40mil? You'd say no, wouldn't you atsch

 

How is it a crap offer when it's the biggest payday of his entire career? Mayweather is in a position to offer it, so why not take it?
