LMAO! Pacquiao is only getting 6 million as a base purse vs Bradley.

Yet he has been gauranteed $20-25 million for his past few fights (Forbes estimates he made $67 million last financial year which covered the Mosley and Marquez fights) and he's not complaining that he hasn't been paid. But I'm sure you and all the financial experts here on ESB have better access to his bank accounts and financial records than him to claim so confidently that he is being screwed

 

Ill fight anyone, and i mean ANYONE for $6 million dollars

 

Lets not forget that he did hire VisionQuest to investigate where his money was going. So he did suspect something. Lets not ignore that this DID happen :-(

 

Aaaah but would you give a gay dude a hummer for 6 mil?? That is the real 6 million dollar question.....

 

And what happened with that? He got rid of them when they started blabbing his business to FightHype for exposure and didn't bother getting anyone else, or he got someone else and forced them to sign a confidentiality agreement. Maybe he just wanted to get advice on how to get all his finances in better order and on how to maximise his earning potential, he would have quite a few income streams with all the businesses he owns at home and in the US, all the sponsorships and endorsement deals he has, singing/acting contracts, government job, boxing career. Maybe he did suspect he was being robbed, but his actions since say otherwise.

 

People on here are suffering from the Floyd syndrome...sucked in by the big numbers but no real understanding of what money is and how it works.

 

What happen with that? Depends on your source, from what I read VQ could never complete there investigation because TR and Bob arum would not give them the documents they needed. And Arum calmed Pac down by giving him in advance on his money before the Marquez fight,but like i said,depends on your source.

 

40,000,000...not Floyd's fault that his promoter jacks him.

 

You understand he'd gave to pay Arum? When he gets $25m from Arum for JMM or Bradley, there's no further payout for Arum. You seem to have a very hard time with this simple concept, but I assure you even Manny gets it, and he's no genius. Here, let me make it easier for you:

Would you rather take a $100k job, taxable, or $85k not taxable?

Sounds like you'd go for the big money, round figure here.

 

I get what your saying. I would take the 85,000 not taxable.

And he does have to pay taxes on his $25,000,000...you can't not pay your taxes.

You seem to be having a hard time understanding. Floyd would only make $2,500,000 more than he made for Cotto if he took a 50/50. Pacquiao would make $27,500,000 more than he did for his 2 highest paydays.

With Manny taking $40,000,000 he would get $15,000,000 more his high payday of $25,000,000. Floyd would end up with $65,000,000 and $15,000,000 more his highest payday.

The numbers are what they are..you can't change them man...

 

My numbers come from numerous articles that were put out by ESPN, NYTimes, and they all cite HBO as confirmingthe May-Cotto numbers.

Pacquiao Bradley is not being talked about as Mayweather Cotto was. Not even close.

To relate the only bigger fight than Mayweather Cotto (terms of revenue), De La Hoya Mayweather ended up in $137,800,000 in revenue.

Of that $137,800,000 in revenue, Oscar took $29,500,000 for his share and Floyd received $16,200,000.

Oscar's guarantee was $23,300,000 and Floyd had a guarantee of $10,000,000. Oscar ended up with $52,800,000 and Floyd took a payday of $26,200,000, thus they split $79,000,000, with $137,800,000 and 2,400,000 buys. Of the $79,000,000 only $46,000,000 came with the revenue profits (1/3).

We can logically assume that Floyd and Manny end up with 3,000,000 PPV buys and they would split $105,000,000. $40,000,000 would go to Manny and Floyd would get the other $65,000,000...however, We can also logically assume that the fight does $195,000,000 in revenue, which is $58,000,000 more than De La Hoya Mayweather. 1/3 of that (as Oscar and Floyd took a 3rd) would be $65,000,000.

To add-if Floyd took a payday of $65,000,000 he would make $15,000,000 more than his high payday of $50,000,000. Manny took a payday of $40,000,000, he would make $15,000,000 more than his high payday of $25,000,000 and we have a very fair deal.

You also don't seem to get that Floyd does much more revenue than Manny.

 

I just showed you that he wouldn't. I mean, hard fact, unlike your speculation on Floyd's ceiling.

 

No you didn't...you advised me of what his promoter takes..27.5%...Doesn't matter though...that's on Manny and his deal with his promoter.

 

What does Manny care if Floyd offers him $40m, if he has to surrender $10m+ to Bob pronto? What's his motivation to take that deal, other than him being not too bright? I just taught you that Arum's guarantee of $32m (for example) > Floyd's $40m, as far as Pac is concerned. The lesson seemed to have taken, but here you are again.

 

And again, I see what your saying. He still gets a high payday. You should head over to megavolt's thread. You can see the breakdown there.:deal
