If Pacquiao is the P4P King, Why is PBF the highest paid boxer today?

52-48 split with the PPV with Pac getting higher than Hatton. There was like what 2 million PPV buys. U do the math. Pac is getting way more than Mayweather.

 

Because your pay is not based at all on how good you are. Oscar was the highest paid fighter until he retired depsite nbot even being in the top 10 p4p

 

Just cuz your pound for pound king doesn't mean you are the highest paid boxer. Oscar Delahoya has been the highest paid boxer for a while and he wasn't the pound for pound king. Infact he got paid more when he fought mayweather and pacquiao and both were # 1 pound for pound when oscar fought them.

 

Yeah, this thread starter is a certifiable ******. Buster Douglas earned more than Chavez, Meldrick Taylor and Pernell Whitaker COMBINED during 1991, I guess that makes him three times as good as each of them, and people were definitely calling buster the P4P #1 back then, right? What a moron.

 

Pacquiao is the NEW p4p guy, Mayweather was p4p for a few yrs, maybe Pac will make more in his next few fights, who knows ?

 

Not sure with the info.. so I better to not to talk so much.
But other thing to consider was the opponent, how much his asking for the fight. Obviously Hatton would ask much compared to JMM.

 

no, 800,000, figure out again.
