    How much does alhaymon get and golden boy get from his cut? He always says he gets all the money I doubt it. Also people say he picks his own fights bit he dosent alhaymon picks his fights what's the difference between alhaymon and bob arum?

    i think so.....the money he is being paid for these fights is ridiculous.

    i dont know a promoter who would WANT to or even offer the type of payouts floyd is receiving....he has to be calling his own shots.

    Haymon is an adviser, Arum is a promoter. Haymon gets a small cut, Arum gets a big cut.

    Floyd made 81 million dollars for fighting Canelo. GBP does 80/20 in favor of the fighter for PPV. Top Rank does 75/25 in favor of Top Rank.

    Al Haymon is more in charge of maximizing exposure. If basketball players have agents, than boxers of Haymon. That's the best way I could put it

    If those splits are accurate I can't imagine why any fighter would sign up with top rank over golden boy

    al haymon gets his fighters the most money. he negotiated a 1mil dollar purse for edwin rod vs ward.

    every fighter should just sign with him. no fighter complains about him

    but top rank pays pacquaio's opponents more than mayweather's opponents even though mayweather does higher ppv numbers.

    rios got 3mil gtd and then 5mil total after ppv

    bradley got 6mil

    rios got over 1 mil to fight alvarado

    even tho j'leon love got 150k to fight may 3rd, khabib got 250k to fight jessie vargas on pacs undercard

    Holy ****, rios got 5 mil? No wonder he doesn't give a **** and loves coke. Back to the topic, Floyd calls his own shots but he's a broke ass ninja, real talk. Floyd is deep in debt.

    The big ppv stars like mayweather subsidise the other fighters purses.

    Essentially, it's mayweather paying broners And khans purses and then they hope khan and broner generate some more ppv buys

    You don't have to believe me pm, but despite how much Floyd makes, he's broke. Stupid people who make tons of money squander it, seen it my whole life in Puerto Rico. I'm not saying this based on jefes in Santurce, I actually know he's broke. You can make 10 gs a week and squander, similarly, you can make a Million a week and blow it, it's not hard.

    of course not, thats just some more dumb **** he says to get his even dumber fans something to repeat when theyre swinging off his jock. you think haymon and oscar work for free because they love floyd, lol. floyd throws out numbers before his hype machine gets paid, after paying his puppet masters, floyd makes pretty close to what manny makes.

    He lives week to week mojo, or month to month. I'll let history be the judge, when he retires well see how much he's ballin. If I'm wrong come link me at club lazer in Santurce and ill buy u bottles all night.

    First is the 40% tax from IRS. then from that remaining 60%, GBP would get their usual 27% promoter's cut and then Haymon his 27% cut that includes payoff for Clemens and Morreti for scoring it wide for Mayweather. Then goes 10% for his dad-trainer and other expenses.

    I've heard the argument against Haymon is that his contract reads more like a promoters' contract than that of a manager. However, since he doesn't have a license to promote, he has to do most of his dealings with Golden Boy.

    If there is a pecking order, I'd say it's

    1) Haymon/The Watsons
    2) Floyd
    3) Golden Boy
    4) Espinosa
