No one really knows, people report what they get told.

 

The numbers I hear over and over and over again are:

de la Hoya: 52 million
Mayweather: 35 million

 

On wikipedia it says Oscar 52, Floyd 25.

this ESPN article says Oscar over 50M, Floyd "around 20 million"

with inflation pac should get 70 mil so should floyd..

 

At the time, the match was the most lucrative boxing match ever, with over $120 million in generated revenue *wikipedia & http://boxing.about.com/od/history/a/payperview.htm

$120 million for a bout that did a still record 2.15 million PPV buys @ $55

It's doubtful Pac-Mayweather will even break that record. Even if they charge $100 for the PPV and it does that much it still won't be enough for Mayweather to get $100 million with the cable company getting a good chunk (don't they get half?), the promoters take, expenses and Pac $30-50million.

You can't defend Mayweather on his bull**** demand. It's an axcuse to duck Pac for good.

 

too much in a way for Oscar to quit in that fight. 52 million? Hagler and Hearns both got about 5 million in 1985 for a real super fight and result. Sometimes I think they should have it where the winner gets and extra purse.
