    Do you guys sit around at your jobs asking each other how much you make? It's pretty taboo where I'm from to discuss finances, or worry about another man's portfolio..

    WThis forum is at an all time low, with thread after thread of peoples opinions on who deserves what, and how much so and so should make..

    Floyd purse:

    09/17/11 - vs. Victor Ortiz - $25,000,000
    05/01/10 - vs. Shane Mosley - $22,500,000
    09/19/09 - vs. Juan Manuel Marquez - $10,000,000
    12/08/07 - vs. Ricky Hatton - $11,000,000
    05/05/07 - vs. Oscar De La Hoya - $10,000,000
    11/04/06 - vs. Carlos Baldomir - $8,000,001
    04/08/06 - vs. Zab Judah - $5,000,000
    -----------------------TOTAL = $91,500,001


    Recently, John Chavez of TheBoxingTruth.com contacted the Nevada State Athletic Commission to acquire the reported purse amounts of both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. According to the official documents, which are public record and have been verified by Executive Director Keith Kizer, the numbers are alarmingly lopsided. It appears that over the past 6 years, the combined total of Pacquiao's purses are a mere fraction of what Mayweather has earned over the same time period and in almost half the number of fights. Check out the numbers and the documents.

    Floyd:
    https://twitter.com/#!/boxingtruth/status/162601982299881473/photo/1/large

    It should be noted that in 2010, Pacquiao had two fights [vs. Joshua Clottey and vs. Antonio Margarito] outside of NSAC's jurisdiction, therefore those numbers are not included in the totals. That being said, one can assume that his purse for each bout was probably no greater than the $7.4 million he averaged in 2009 and no less than the $6 million he averaged in 2011. According to those figures, Manny Pacquiao's officially reported purses have been, on average, roughly half of what Floyd Mayweather has been getting. Although the documents do not disclose revenue also generated from pay-per-view upside, it's extremely doubtful that Pacquiao is getting significantly more than Mayweather in that department, especially considering that they both do similar numbers and in Pacquiao's case, Top Rank retains 27.5%. While I personally believe the subject of a 50/50 split is irrelevant, mainly because Bob Arum was never interested in staging the fight on May 5 to begin with, given those numbers, it's understandable why Mayweather might allegedly inform Pacquiao that a $40 million guarantee would be significantly more money than he's been currently making. Regardless, one can't help but wonder exactly why Pacquiao's purse amounts being reported to the Nevada State Athletic Commission are significantly lower than Mayweather's purses.

    Now is it a fact that Floyd is earning twice the money Pac has? Hell yeah (largely due Arum butt-raping Manny).
    But I do think Floyd should consider 50/50 or 52/48.

    Who cares, really? He lives in the Philippines and spends pesos like a King....Aside from his endless worldwide endorsements, commercials, movies, appearances...etc...add the PPV as well....he's got enough to last a lifetime....Floyd ain't got $ outside of the ring. Dan Rafael is a Floyd lover...I wonder what he makes?

    So you think the NSAC is putting out false information, or that they request it just for shits and giggles? It's obviously an issue, so it's fair game for discussion.

    Sports in general have become big business, if you don't have familiarity with business of sports, it can be difficult to follow. Why your favorite player is getting cut, why a star player is being traded, why your hometown team is relocating....etc etc. It has become very relevant to sports in general and boxing obviously is impacted as much or more.

    REgisted purse to NSAC is not the entire earnings as it is not legally required to register to the commission other source of revenues beyond direct purse payment. Things like PPV, promotional fees, gate, souvenirs, concession stands, etc.

    Those other revenues must be declared to IRS and Nevada state.
    And those 2 are not the same as NSAC.

    PBF only quotes Pac's direct purse.

    this figure (and probly along the other numbers reported by NSAC) is just the downside guarantee that TR/Pacquiao declared. His recent PPV has been sellers so it's more likely that he got what was publicly mentioned as the upside guarantee.

    ...and I have a feeling that whatever Floyd was gurateeing for himself, which in a way is silly, is exaggerated.

    It seems HBO exagerrated Pac's purses. Until I see a similar NSAC file reporting Floyd's supposed guarantees, I'm going to think what's being reported is an exaggeration as well.

    Gauranteed purse vs Clottey - 12M

    "Against Miguel Cotto last month, Pacquiao was guaranteed a paycheck of $13 million but owing to the success of the pay-per-view sales that generated 1.25 million buys at $54.95 per subscription, the 30-year-old Pacquiao wound up getting $22 million."

    "Among various accounting issues that Golden Boy alleges in the Cotto fight is that Top Rank purposefully misreported "at least $6 million available to distribute" to Golden Boy and Top Rank by falsely reporting Pacquiao's purse. Golden Boy says it received accountings from the fight saying Pacquiao's purse was $15 million, but that the bout agreement on file with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which oversaw the fight in Las Vegas, lists Pacquiao's purse as $7.5 million, raising the question of where the other $7.5 million went."

    Manny Pacquiao $6M $20M
    Shane Mosley $3.95M $5M

    "Pacquiao and Mosley's guarantees are just the downside guarantees, and with a successful pay-per-view, both will make over those numbers, which are impressive anyway"
    "Manny Pacquiao was guaranteed $20 million for his May 7 fight with Shane Mosley, and Mosley was given a $5 million guarantee. Juan Manuel Marquez also has a $5 million guarantee for his November 12 fight with Pacquiao"

    "Pacquiao's purse is actually listed as $6 million, but he's guaranteed $22 million, and should probably rake in about $30 million when all is said and done."

    The next Forbes list will include what he actually made against Mosley and Marquez, it's excpected to be over $30M for each fight



    In any case, the standout figures for now for 2011 are these:

    1.Pacquiao-Marquez 1.41M PPV, $80M gross, $11.7M gate
    2.Mayweather-Ortiz 1.25M PPV, $78M gross, $9M gate

    And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that he did. These are only his base purse amounts submitted to the NSAC before each fight, and they're not even close to what he actually gets paid.
     
  14. A guaranteed salary is the based salary he would make without the perks, bonuses, PPV $$$, etc.

    Just like in any entertainment field....Julia Roberts makes 20 million per movie guaranteed, but she still gets residuals, box office sells, etc. on top of her "salary".

    Athletes contracts are the same...Thats why the NFL has guaranteed salary plus incentives...!!!

    The only money you must declare is the guaranteed salary, due to not knowing what the gate, tv deals, ppv #s are going to be****(1)



    ****(1) When the incentives are finally disclosed, that money MUST then be reported to the proper channels, Commission, IRS, etc.
