40 million vs 15 million makes 50/50 unfair

what a stupid thing to write,when he fought oscar and hatton before your man manny p. did

 

1.4 million PPVs at $49.95 = $69mil
Gate was estimated at $11mil


Considering that fight was the most promoted and advertised fight of all time, it's safe to assume the marketers, promoters, HBO, etc took at LEAST 50% of that money to cover overhead and line their pockets, which leaves at most $40mil, 65% of which is $26 million.

Not a bad payday by any means, but it ain't 40 and his take was probably a bit lower. Pacquiao made somewhere between 15-20 million against Clottey, a fight promotion which had a significantly lower budget.

 

Amen brotha

 

That's almost $70m,50% went to HBO. How much was the live gate,Shane's purse and the promoter's cut? There's no way Floyd made $40m.

 

:deal

 

time to clean up the board. IP check should be done and kick any alts found.

 

While gaining boxing immortality and going down in history as a true legend? Sure.:yep

 

PPV was $54.95 and although the gate was 11 million, MGM paid around 20 million to host the fight as the site fee with added revenue generated through the various MGM properties in Vegas that weekend.

Mayweather made 30-32 million for the Mosley fight IMO. His guarantee was 22.5 plus PPV percentages. We also don't know if the fighters and their camps make any additional money for being part of 24/7.

 

the way some of these floyd boys justify floyd ducking pac by pricing himself out of this fight, it seems they all get some kind of percentage. there have been a couple of them thinking it is ok not to see this fight as long as floyd gets more than 50% of share.

 

Because it can be a determining FACTOR in wether the fight gets made or not. atsch

 

think about what you jusr said, if they are spending twenty million on promotion then they are bad business men, and i cn tel you now they're not

 

Yeah we know.

 

Why do you thick turds on here think anyone who says anything againsed Floyd is a Manny fan?

Grow the **** up, you are the biased one.

 

You clearly know dick about marketing and promotion.

 

What do people say this? They're arguing for a fighter's benefit (To which they think is fair), not for their own benefit. Make no sense.
