    My point isn't that Guerrero deserves more than Ortiz, it's that Ortiz accepted an extremely low amount of money for their fight and drove the expectation downward.

    I heard that Guerrero never got even a million, he should take 2.5, though 4 is a fair request...

    How is it an extremely low amount of money? Ortiz is no PPV attraction, not many knew his name before he fought Floyd. 2.5 is a fair amount.

    He made nowhere near that amount facing Maidana or Berto.

    Not at all! How is it fair? WHO IS GUERRERO and what HAS HE DONE?

    His only fans ARE IN GILROY, nowhere else. Guerrero probably couldn't sell out fighting AT HOME. And he wants 4 million fighting in Vegas? **** NO!!

    If he wants those paydays, train hard and beat FLOYD. If he does that, he instantly becomes a superstar and he can dictate the paydays for him/future opponents moving forward.

    Because somewhere in excess of 3 is what would normally be expected for fights of that magnitude. Bradley made 5 against Pacquiao, and Ortiz was a bigger draw than him fighting a more well-known opponent in Mayweather (not to mention the fact that there really was no one else from the Golden Boy stable Floyd could fight at that time). Hell Clottey of all people made 3 against Pacquiao.

    Then he should sign with Top Rank. Cotto got 8 mill + PPV money for fighting Floyd because Cotto is known and a PPV attraction.

    Guerrero is a bum and no one knows him, he doesn't deserve ****. He's beaten BERTO (Someone already beaten by Ortiz) and Aydin (Who is he?!)

    2.5 is more than fair. He has never seen that much money and he should take it.

    If he beats Floyd, he will make exponentially more. But at this stage, he has accomplished nothing and only getting this fight because he's the best of the worst. He should take the money and shut up.

    Guerrero, the ****-sucker he is, should worry less about what Floyd is making and remember that $2.5 million is more than what he deserves. Sure, he's trying to squeeze the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but at the same time, Mayweather himself knows he's got a **** dance partner that won't help him generate the kind of money he's used to, so the last thing he needs is an annoying **** squeezing more money out of his pocket.
