of course its bull****, look at the numbers what was it 1 mil in ppv buys at 60 bucks a pop yeah that does work out to 30 mil if he got 50% and if it was all going to him not HBO and so forth. He probably made about 15mil for that fight.
NO WAY. He probably got what 10 mill for the fight 3 or 4 for PPV buys. Then by the time he pays his corner men his security and of course Tax's I say he probably made in his pocket closer to 9 million.
He never said he was talking net. When people quote their salaries, how many do you know that give their salary after taxes, mortgage payments, etc.? No, people typically talk gross, which, actually, is why most people have financial problems. They can't make the distinction between what they make and what they keep.
he also said he was fighting for 33 years. maybe he was hitting Floyd Srs' dickhead while he was still in the womb.
