Mayweather could Make More Money fighting Mosley...Here's How

After Mayweathers 1 million PPV buys, Quite simple really. Everybody knows that Mayweather-Pacquiao is the biggest money fight. No doubt. But here is the question you have to ask. Purse splits and total pot?? Who gets the most between the 2? Mayweather backers will point to PPV sales, and Pacquiao fans will point to the gate?

So Mayweather and Pacquiao will fight for the bulk share. In the end it would be close to a 50/50 split.

But if Mayweather fights Mosley--He could and would get at least a 70-30 or 75-25 split. No doubt about that.

My thinking is Mayweather-Pacquiao would do around 1.8 to 2 Million buys.

Mayweather-Mosley would do between 1 million to 1.4 million buys in my opinion, based upon the success of Mayweather-Marquez. Mayweather-Mosley is a bigger fight then Mayweather-Marquez. While some will argue you are taking out the Latino audience, i would argue you are going to draw a huge African American buyrate, and a huge sportsfan mainstream buy rate. Plus I still think you would get a Latino audience because of the respect for both Mayweather and Mosley. Plus you have the history and contrasting personalities of both which would make for a great 24/7. Ask yourself this question, how many mainstream knew JMM was before last week or 24/7. And that did 1 million buys.

If you factor in the purse splits of both Mayweather and Mosley, Mayweather may make more or if not the same fighting Mosley as he would Pacquiao.

Also Mayweather wouldn't have to deal with Top Rank, which would take some money away as well.

For Mosley, his ego may be hurt, but he should say to himself. Either I make 5 or 6 million fighting Mayweather in Feb or March, or 2 million fighting Andre Berto in Jan.

Mayweather would stand to clear 20 million in both a Mosley and Pacquiao fight.

So for those out there who say Mayweather can't make money fighting Mosley, you are wrong. It is just up to Richard Schaefer to convince Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon this. But my money is Mayweather and company still saying No to Mosley.

 

You are wrong. Mayweather-Mosley get ESPN coverage for 2 weeks straight prior to the fight. Plus it would be a winter fight when nothing else is going on besides College Basketball. This fight would do more then 700K Buys. Nobody thought the Marquez fight would do 700K much less 1M. And this is a bigger fight.

This fight does more then a JMM fight. No doubt.
