    Not true. Are you pulling those numbers out of your ass?

    The combined gates for Pac-Clottey and Pac-Margo just passed Mayweather-Mosley in terms of revenue.

    "The two bouts in Texas likely generated a combined paid gate of approximately $13 million, given the ticket pricing structure for Pacquiao vs. Margarito. That’s only about $2 million more than the paid gate of $11.03 million for the Mayweather-Mosley fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas."

    Pacquiao's 2 fights will barly surpass Mayweathers 1 fight, in gate numbers.

    so can anyone answer the question about whether fighters get paid for their fights being broadcasted overseas?

    Can anyone dispute that pacquiao drew higher numbers against a mexican than Floyd did? On his first fight out of "retirement?" against the P4P #2 fighter?

    That wasn't my argument. That's yours, so don't come here trying to sound all smart.

    People arguing for emmanuel always say he's moar popular overseas. That only matters if it's bringing in the money for them. The only proof we ever had overseas was for the Hatton fights, where Floyd-Hatton outsold emmanuel-Hatton in the UK.

    You're spinning.

    What about Mayweather's numbers vs DLH vs Pacs? See how silly this is?

    Janeschicken and you other halfwits.

    Floyd has sold more ppvs with less fights and outsold pac with common opponents.

    if you can not see those simple facts and acknowledge them for what they are then i cant help you.

    even your hate for mayweather cannot deny these claims so either accept them or **** off because the excuse that pac is foreign dont cut it anymore he has been fighting in usa for 8 years now he is known by the people.

    deal with it.

    so no one has proof that emmanuel's popularity overseas makes him generate moar $ than Floyd.

    No Pacs not getting PPV revenue in the Philippines. He doesnt have too, He has Millions of endorsements and just about a hand in every money generating business there is. He also owns a pro basketball club, He does movies, sings and has a deal with the largest TV station.

    People think he'll go broke because of the way he spends but he is one boxer who is really set for life just from the passive income he gets outside of boxing. He is a money generating MAchine because his situation is very unique.

    Now hes a politician too. I'm pretty sure though that PAc isnt a thief like the rest.

    I don't think the filipino people would ever let him go broke.

    Cherry picking? OK..do us a favor if you think those fighters are easy to beat.Jump in the ring with either then give us some feed back.Cotto would probably bust ur eardrums and many other bodily damage like broken ribs/eye socket aye? that's if u even make it out of rnd 1.

    Floyd doesnt deserve a bigger slice. They both need to prove themselves against the other and they both would make each other a helluva lot more than anyone else!! These are the conditions i think would make the fight fair...


    50-50 split
    leather bike gloves
    plaster casts
    10 x 10 ring
    5 lines of beak (each)
    a shot of adrenaline before each round



    ...:deal:deal:deal

    I am talking about get receipts , and the numbers you have i dont think are correct.

    If your numbers are correct , then Manny fights in Texas actually lose money, and he wouldnt be there twice if that was the case.

    Even though the numbers are never calculated and Neither fighters count the income? Right.

    Tell your boss that next time you negotiate for a raise. People somewhere get paid more than me so I should get the raise. Prepare to be laughed out of the office. :lol:
