This **** is funny as hell. People throwing around PPV buy counts to justify whether or not Mayweather is making Showtime money without knowing half of the other variables needed to answer that. Forget the actual bottom line figure that Mayweather was actually paid in cash and incentives. Forget the actual costs to put on each PPV event. Forget the venue profits and expenses. Forget that every PPV has different costs based on the opponent, venue, and market. Forget the actual amount showtime receives from PPV revenues when all the middle men are paid. Forget the added subscriptions to Showtime Mayweather may bring to the regular network based on his fight lead up shows, interviews, guest commentary, etc. Unless you have access to the networks books, it's pointless to speculate **** like this.
read my post in this thread.... 40 mil...plus 10-15 mil in step aside money to arum....its probably close to 60-40 in reality....closer than one might think.....putting all the numbers together and speculating on the revenue is tough...not concrete....but if you look at it its prob close to that.... like i said...at the least manny could have said "lets talk about it....maybe if it meets certain revenue goals you will kick me more"....but he did nothing but hang up look at floyd canelo....**** did 2.4 mil...did some great numbers.....floyd walked away with like 70-80 mil and canelo about 10 mil.....and thats with floyd getting the lions share.......not to mention part of floyds take comes from merchandise and concessions too......so in hindsight kicking 50-55 mil to mannys side is a good chunk....and pac could have asked for more depending on certain revenue goals
Manny. Has been a PPV star for over a decade Longer than Floyd even Arguably bigger than Floyd because Floyd's two biggest fights were both against Mexicans and the Ppv numbers were because of them You can't offer pacquiao zero Ppv and think he would even think about it
His own promoter offers him less than what Floyd offered him twice!! Manny is not a smart business man period!
listen im not going to get into an argument over whos a bigger ppv star or whatever.... like i said....pac could have came back and made a request to make more with certain revenue goals attained again...look at how money was divided for floyd/canelo.....part of the expected revenue was built into floyds offer....he was handing over 50-55 mil to pacs side which isnt chump change.....some of the ppv revenue was already factored into that....... if floyd said heres 50-55 mil to you manny....then he has to pay arum out of it.....its really the same....50-55 mil was the real number offered which has ppv revenue built in it....pac could have said "if we do bigger numbers you kick me certain amount/percentage"....but pac didnt even entertain the idea
your numbers are not right cable and Satellite get 50% of PPV proceeds so the number isn't 64 mil it is 32 mil...factor in expenses for all 3 fights and other stuff so who knows what is left? We know it isn't 64 mil like you said though :roflatsch
weve already established that.....stop picking on dude cuz he said something wrong....most of us knew that number isnt right.......still i doubt showtime is losing any money.....they still get good live gate revenue...sponsorship money......basically means that floyd prob aint makinng any upside on maidana/guerrero....just his base pay anyways..id like someone to address how 40 mil to manny...10-15 to bob is some insulting offer based off ppv revenue? especially when you factor in the money that divided between floyd/canelo based upon the revenue they took in for that... cuz reality is...its not that insulting at all
You're the dummy , you're a demented old man that goes from thread to thread spitting the same lines over and over again you're a ***** version of Farmboxer you're *****boxer.
I dont give a **** about how much money Pac is making i am not getting any of it so why should i care, and why does a demented old man posting from his nursing home like you care so much about Pac and what kind of money he makes? Do you want him to pay for your meds? Do you need a new Rocking chair? What is it old fart?
Nevada records don't really mean anything. It's just the salary for a particular fight, doesn't include PPV's or anything along those lines. I think Dana White said it doesn't even include fight of the night bonuses. In any event it's a useless number to try justifying any argument related to what fighters actually make, if they're in the upper echelon of the sport.
Math is a powerful thing if you know some. De La Hoya v. Floyd did 2.5 million buys and Oscar got a 53 million dollar guarantee. Now in 3 fights Floyd has been guaranteed 105 million and only sold 900k more buys than Oscar did in one fight and got DOUBLE the money Oscar got for one fight. Showtime lost cake.
