    The executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, lawyer Keith Kizer, has set the record straight in terms of the fight purses of pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in his last three fights including last Saturday’s “Fire Power” showdown with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.

    Kizer informed ***********.com, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports that Pacquiao’s guaranteed purse for the Cotto fight was $7.5 million while Cotto’s purse was something like $4 million in the wake of conflicting reports on the Filipino's guaranteed purse..

    What this means is that if the net revenues from pay-per-view income which means after all deductions for distribution, marketing and other expenses is more than the combined guaranteed purses of both fighters, then the two fighters split the difference based on the agreed percentages in the contract regarding PPV income.

    With Top Rank promoter Bob Arum’s estimate of pay-per-view numbers at anywhere between 1.2 to 1.5 million then it would mean PPV gross revenues of anywhere between $60 to $75 million.

    However, the fighters will be entitled to a share of the income only after all expenses are deducted and the sharing will be based on the split agreed upon in the fight contracts.

    When Pacquiao fought Erik “El Terrible” Morales for the first time he was paid a guaranteed purse of $1.75 million by Arum and his promotional partner for that fight, Murad Muhammad and was not entitled to a share of the pay-per-view income, neither was Morales.

    It created a bitter rift between Pacquiao and Murad and ended with a legal battle during which Murad was forced to move out but although Pacquiao claimed his new m,management team headed by Shelly Finkel would get him a couple of million dollars from the PPV income, it didn’t happen.

    Kizer also told us that Pacquiao’s guarantees for the Oscar De La Hoya fight was $6.6 million and for the fight against Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton $7.4 million.

    How can a man who gets $1.75m split even with a man who's been making millions since 1998

    Who cares about what floyd was making 11 years ago. Right now they both have the same market value. 50/50 would be the most money either guy has ever made and niether has an option that would pay them as much as fighting each other.

    Who says they have the same market value?Do your maths,compare their last 3 fights or common fights then you'l see the difference.

    The problem is Manny makes too much noise about all this money when he's not even getting the money.This guy is the most exploited boxer in the planet.He should sign with Mayweather promotions for a good payday.

    Simple, 11 years on hes now ranked p4p number 1. The fight should be 50/50 at 147. No excuses, let the best man win.

    False argument, which I'm sure Chibuki knows.

    It's not about what you got, it's about what you can bring, cash-wise.

    And, with Pac-Cotto set to exceed PBF-JMM, Pac would have demonstrated he's brining more to the table than PBF.

    Chibuku knows this, which is why he made this red herring thread.

    Who you kidding? You think no one knows this kind of shell game?

    :lol:

    Pac's the bigger draw -- or seems about set to become it -- based on last fight's returns (even considering the PBF-JMM fight date was moved to maximize Latino revenue).

    And the bigger draw always gets the greater negotiating leverage.

    Try again.

    I'm just taking their last fight into consideration. You are only as good as your last fight in this sport. They both fought opponents with similar drawing power and Manny got more buys. Niether guy can make the kind of money against anyone else that he can make in this fight. They need to stop being divas and make the fight
