    Nevermind, from Cotto/Ortiz. That is still an insane amount of cheese for a boring, featherfisted, face of the sport that's dying.

    Im guessing if it came out recently, it was taken from June 2011 - June 2012? When was the Ortiz fight? September?

    Those stats should be a great indicator of how their split should be made.

    Floyd: $85 million
    Pac: $62 million

    Based on that, split should be 58/42 for Floyd (including PPV revenues)

    Much more fair than $40 million flat guarantee for Pac.

    Doesn't do anything for the split between Pac and Floyd if they fight. Floyd doesn't have a middle man like Arum to give money to. That is why he gets what he gets and Pac gets what he gets. I say 52/48 for Floyd based on star power. Normally I would have it 50/50 but Floyd is not making the fight if it was 50/50 so just to sooth Floyds ego this is how I would have it. As long as he gets more of the split in his head Floyd is winning.

    Is that the money Tiger made just from tournaments? He has to make more than that with endoresements. Pretty sure Tiger is still number 1 if you count everything.
     
  11. that wouldnt be accurate. its obvious by now that mayweather draws more people. a lot of people want to see him lose that "o." in a way, he's the one giving manny the chance to do so.

    Holy ****, Wlad only made 24 million (fights) + 4 Endorsements and was 24th on the list. PBF made 3 1/2 times more money than the HW champ of the world! Plus Pac made more than 2 times $56 mill (fights) + 6mill (endorsements)

    It includes endorsements. Floyds money is crazy considering he has no endorsements.
