Why should manny get the same amount as Floyd?

Wrong x 2

 

There could be a case to suggest that Mayweather draws good PPV figures because paying viewers feel it's worth parting with their hard-earned cash for the chance to see him getting his ass kicked. Following this hypothesis through - Pacquiao, being the most credible challenge that Mayweather has ever faced, will probably draw a shedload of casual fans (as well as his existing fan-base), believing that he is the man to end Mayweather's unbeaten run.

On this basis, Pacquiao adds to the overall draw, significantly.

 

**** Floyd he's a joke. The clown of the sport. Clowns always get attention.

 

What basis is there for Pac being a bigger global star, more people in the UK seem to know Mayweather than Pacquaio, Mayweather-Hatton did much more PPV buys in the UK than Pacquaio-Hatton did.

Pacquaio is obviously the bigger draw in the Philipines, but thats about it, maybe Mexico. But neither of those markets bring in much revenue

 

Why do you idiots think Floyd got $40 mil for the Mosley fight? 65% on a 1.4mil PPV fight in which the promoters SPENT more money than has ever been spent in the history of the sport.

Just for perspective, Oscar made $52 million when he fought Mayweather, with a higher split (68%) in a fight that did 2.4mil buys and had lower overhead.

Do some ****ing math.

it should be personal, i am disscussing floyd the man and yes i genuinely dislike him and those like him.
tiger walked out midway through floyds fight.
a lot of fans in relation to whom?

 

What about Asia? I know for a fact that Pacquiao is a star in Asian countries. He's the face for Nike in that region, so his appeal is much wider than just the Philipines. I know he's a global face for them, but he's heavily marketed in Asia, so he has that market.

The thing is though, in regards to his global appeal, you can't apply numbers to it. You can look at Britain and America and say "Mayweather draws more" and whilst that may be the case, there are no numbers for where Pacquiao is a bigger draw. Looking at numbers will always produce just a percentage of the income the fight brings, but it's only a percentage as the fight will draw in regions which don't have those easy-to-get numbers.

It's just so much simpler if you don't pick it apart and say it should be 50/50. At the end of the day, this is Pacquiao and Mayweather and the fact they are fighting will draw and the the fact they are fighting each other will draw. They both bring a lot.

 

...because Mayweather said so.

Same reason people still think he made $20m for his WWE appearance. They told the wrestling newsheets that, to hype his appearance even more, but he made a lot less.

$20 million: The alleged amount of money Mayweather is supposed to be getting for his appearance. Not real. The most money anyone has ever earned for a one-time pro wrestling appearance was Mike Tyson at WrestleMania in 1998, which was good for about $3.5 million. Even though pro wrestling was more popular in America then, WrestleMania itself is a bigger money show now, partially because WWE’s popularity has expanded outside North America. But the Tyson of 1998 had more drawing power than the Mayweather of 2008. Wrestling sources indicate Mayweather is getting a $2 million flat fee, plus a percentage that should put him in Tyson’s range.

Please, you guys would sell your family jewels to pay off the suicide watch bills if he simply just retired into politics before getting schooled by Void.

Even this guy knows the truth:
