If you were Manny Pacquiao, Would you accept $40 million but NO PPV share?

Obviously I'm saying that your projections are worthless, since DLH vs Floyd is not comparable. And if that 25% is right, then the split is 56/44 (probably a lot more than 40m for Pac), so why were you complaining 60/40 is unfair to Floyd lol?

 

No chance I'd accept that. I'd have a gradually scaled payment scheme that would ensure I got a **** ton of cash up front and then performance based riders that tacked on extra bling depending on how well the promotion did. I.e. if it did over 1.5 mil I'd get and extra 5 mil. If it did over 1.75 mil I'd get and extra 13 mil. If it did over 2 mil, I'd get and extra 20 mil. Something like that. That way the risk is limited but the reward is still proportional.

 

There was a NYT article that outlined his business model. Without PPV, 8M is more than Cotto has ever made.

 

As of now I would accept if I was pac, due to the simple fact that I am lucky to get that!

The charade of Pac's talent has come to an end, he has been found out, and is no longer in reality even to deluded fans on the same level as Floyd.
The fight would be a one sided wide decision to Floyd and is not a relevant fight.

So yes, If I was Pac, I would take the 40 million, and praise jeebus that there was anyone in the world ******ed enough to think I was worthy of a fight with floyd

 

You missed my other points...

 

I would accept 40 million to do pretty much anything! But I am poor and would almost kill to have that much money. It seems the richer you are, the greedier you are, so I can not speak for people like pacquiao who already make 8 figures on one fight alone. But to answer the question as if it was ME, then yes I absolutely would.

 

how is floyd supposed to make $150 million without manny and his bull**** offer?

 

Floyd would stand to make about $65 million if Manny took his $40 million. Manny is greedy though and thinks he should make what Floyd makes when his fights don't do high revenue and plus Manny lost...Manny losing brings his stock down by far.

 

the fight will generate at least $180 - $200 million bro. PPV alone will generate at least $100 million. Manny's last fight won't have an effect as HBO will try their best to highlight the fact that manny was robbed in his last fight.

 

Both guys have a big fan base. Floyd is the face of boxing I believe, but Manny has a whole country and some of this country backing him every time he goes out. Floyd do better then him in PPV numbers, but PPV shares for this fight would go through the roof, with the help of both fighters, not just Floyd. With that being the case, I believe, because Floyd do better then Pac in PPV numbers, he should get the bigger piece of the pie, but Manny contribution to those numbers should earn him a share as well. More then $40 mill because the PPV numbers will be twice as much. Giving Pac 20 mill off the PPV share, should not hurt Floyd. When the numbers are all said and done I'm sure the money generated would be on a record breaking scale.

 

In todays boxing mafia, a robbery is a risk ANY fighters has to take.

 

hell yes, that's more than he ever made
