pac and floyd fans....take it from me, i'm neutral in all of this...

Thats a stupid idea so it got shelved

 

Mayweather: Total PPV Fights: 7
Total PPV Buys: 6.8 million buys
Total PPV Revenue: $366.5 million revenue
Average PPV per fight: 970,000 buys
Average Revenue per fight: $52.3 million revenue

Manny: Total PPV Fights: 11
Total PPV Buys: 6.3 million buys
Total PPV Revenue: $324.3 million revenue
Average PPV per fight: 570,000 buys
Average Revenue per fight: $29.4 million revenue

Look at the facts kid. Also how is Manny generating more revenue when Floyd had two of the highest gates in Mosley and Ortiz?:deal

 

hes so confident he could beat the yellow midget, why is it stupid then?

 

You're assuming that the two fighters on the main card will split 100% of the gross revenue and the undercard fighters, cable companies, venue owner(s), vendors, etc. will all be volunteering their services and/or resources for free, which is completely ****ing ******ed. DLH-Mayweather (the highest grossing fight in boxing history) generated $165 million in total gross revenue and Oscar and Floyd's total combined earnings for that fight came out to $77 million (47% of the total gross revenue).

 

Because thats something 10 year olds would do

We watch a sport which happens to be their business... Think about it



Any way Ariza has confirmed "it is arum 100% holding up the fight"

 

Egos is the no. 1 reason the fight hasn't happened. I say egos is no. 1 because, I believe that if Pacquiao really wanted the fight to happen, he wouldn't let Bob Arum - the no. 2 reason the fight hasn't happened - stand in his way.

 

These guys really don't get it. They actually think that Floyd and Manny will make 50 and 60 million on a 50/50 split. **** is mad ******ed.

 

Pacs on a contract and has no choice, its apparent Arum controls far to much of his life

 

1.) You're obviously not neutral.

2.) I did believe Floyd was trying to make it happen before the "no 50/50" nonsense. . .

 

This mother****er thought they'd see $80 million each. Yeah, if the fight generated well over $300 million, which there's no ****ing chance it will.

 

Sounds about right. If that's the case my figures seem to be off.

BUT, surely Mayweathers 40 million offer is less than what Pacquiao would make with a 50/50 split? i.e. then it would seem logical that a 50/50 split would give both fighters approximately 60 million? (granted thats 10-20 million off my initial assumptions).

Finally, regardless if Mayweather makes 50 or 80 million, the fight should be 50/50 in my opinion.

 

Exactly. . . If there ever was a fight where 50/50 split was logical, this is it.

 

Of course it your opinion and we all as fans think it should be 50/50 bc they are the two PPV stars in the sport but when you actually look at the numbers Floyd deserves more and that is what they go by when it comes to business. Floyd is also looking at the fact that Manny has never made close to 40 million dollars while he made it with Ortiz and Mosley just recently. Neither fighter can make 50 or 60 million a piece. That isn't going to happen. If that is the case then Floyd can just keep fighting whoever bc he is already making close to that amount while Manny isn't.

 

That depends on how much the fight actually brings in. If it brings in DLH-Mayweather figures then $40 million would equal about a 52/48 split in Pacquiao's favor. For them to see $60 million apiece, the fight would need to generate somewhere upwards of $250 million, which I just can't see happening at this point.

 

The only time Floyd has noticeably outsold Pacquiao is against DLH. . . There are way too many variables to come into play there. . . The biggest being DLH/Pac was viewed as a HUGE mismatch - DLH was as big as a 3-1 favorite. . . Second, being the economy - it was just a few months into every freaking out. Since that time, they both bring in about the smae amount of buys against common opponents:

Hatton, Mosley, Marquez. . . And soon to be Cotto. . . I guess maybe Floyd should get 53/47 based off those numbers?

It proves that Floyd isn't willing to take the risk of losing to Pacquiao in exchange for only making 10-20 million more than usual. . .
