Most People arguing Pac-Floyd Split DKSA MONEY

Top 5 ppvs is pretty arbitrary. Like the other guy says, drawing power doesn't last forever. I mean, I doubt Wlad ever made as much as Holyfield vs Tyson, is Evander entitled to more now? You'd think more recent revenues would be weighted more, cause you know, people would be buying the ppv now and not 5 years ago. Or if not, take the n most recent ppvs from each guy. What should n be: 3, 6, 8? Why?

 

Translation: The data doesn't support my preconceived notion so rather than rethink my hypothesis or provide a reasonable alternative, I rather just critique the analysis and essentially tell you there's not an accurate way do it.

Gotcha.

 

Yes because using a Holyfield fight from 1997 to determine a hypothetical purse split with Wlad in 2012 is exactly do same as what the OP was doing. Lol.

Sorry the second part I do agree with, the example just had me dying though, but I see where you're coming from.

 

I've told you how to do it... It's quite simple..

Look at the past year..that drawing power is still current and the only thing that will matter in negotiations. Their popularity changes every month, day, week..

So 3,4,5 years ago have no bearing on today..

Sorry it's not what you want to hear, it's only the truth...

 

Good post!! I see exactly what your saying too...Damn good post!

 

The fighters also took 1/3 of the revenue in the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight.

The guarantee for Oscar was $23,300,000 and Floyd's was $10,000,000.

They then took $46,000,000 of the $137,800,000. Oscar was paid $52,800,000 and Floyd received $26,200,000.

Your post is very informative though.

I may have missed it megavolt but did you include that Arum would also have to come out of pocket for promoting the fight?

 

Mosley Pacquiao did 1,150,000 to my understanding.

 

Also, Mayweather Hatton did 920,000 PPV buys Mega.

 

You better believe TR and GBP would have different ideas as to what weights are appropriate. And both could probably produce convincing, yet contradictory cases. That's because there's no real precedent for this: a fight between the p4p 1a and 1b, both crossover stars who routinely sell over 1 mil. Even Hoya didn't pull 1 mil on auto pilot.

 

Looking at the past year is intrinsically flawed though. Mayweather-Cotto sold more than Mayweather-Ortiz, but that doesn't neccessarily means Mayweather is bigger draw now than 8 months ago. Pac-Bradley will more than likely not outsell Pac-Marquez III, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's drawing power diminished.

 

In YOUR opinion that's more recent...common opponents is used because it has no bias. Your way has bias. Using common opponents shows no bias.

 

A Mayweather fight. It would be promoted by Top Rank as well...
