Pacquiao and Mayweather are the #1 and #2 highest paid athletes in the world for 2011

the reason is because mayweather is his own primary promoter and so invests his actual money into the fight and so recoups a larger cut from his fights. pacquiao probably makes 40 million as well- per fight- but 15 goes to arum as his promoter. i think youre simplifying the who gets paid what a little too much. the economics arent so cut and dry. basically they both generate a similar figure- say- from their last fight- however pacquiao makes less from it because he pays arum 20 percent at least. probably more. floyd firstly, pays his opponent less, and also recoups more from the fight as he is the promoter. the figure to look at isnt what they get paid, but how much they make. then from that divide it from that. floyd still makes more- and so might deserve a bigger slice- but not based on your logic. shoudl they fight- and it is 50-50- floyd would still make more money as, again, as i have said, his own primary promoter (secondady being golden boy). pacquiao is notoriously bad at his business - i d not be surprised if he only recoups about 60 percent of his initial purse. promoters deduct expenses from fighters such as trianing camps, entourages, hotels, etc, and pacquiao is an idiiot- he employs like 100 people and pays them to sit around. buboy has like 4 assistants who are nothing more than laughing hyenas. this kind of **** is why pac will go broke soon. regardless, as stated cut of ppv should be decided based on what they generate , not what they make. i think something n the realm off 55-45 to floyd would reflect the latest paydays- although i think after the latest fights coming up, that wil influence things more than anything. if pac outperforms floyd he should get 5050 but if floyd outsells pac- which is expected because cotto is a ppv star in his own right, then pac should take 6040.

ppv sales only reflect american sales anyway. if im pac, i agree to 6040 us sales and then take back the cut on international sales and all merchandise with the sole pacquiao name on it- which would be staggering and probably outdo anything else that is made. say he realeases a special series of nike shoes for the fight. a trainer, a jogger and a boxing shoe- markets them as ppv pac shoes- **** the fight alone would generate enough publicity for him to make more than floyd thru merchandise. pac has to think bigger and get the money in other revenues. ppv is only a small chunk of whats possible. kobe makes 20 million off shoes alone- pac could make that as he is the only boxer with a shoe deal- easily off of the pub for one fight. but im not the one managing pac- its some greedy jew called arum and a leech called koncz. he needs to fire those guys and hire a real sports marketing firm to rep him. they both do. theyre the two biggest money making guys our sport has seen since tyson- and both dont know how to generate outisde revenue or endorsemnts for ****.

 

Floyd average $40M per fight, correct.

How much do you think Floyd will make if he fight Pacquiao, $40M ? :think

 

Well if Manny is getting a 20 to 25 million dollar raise if he fights Floyd, shouldn't Floyd get a 20 million dollar raise as well?

Yes put Pac getting 25mill might men his side needs to get 35 mill cos bob arum gotta get paig from his side.

 

i thought it would be kobe or lebron

 

this.

I imagine floyd has to pay out of his own money promotional stuff.

Whereas pac doesnt.

 

1991 Don King wouldn't make a Holyfield v Tyson fight because the Duvas were offering Tyson $15m to Holy's $30m. King wanted 50/50 arguing that Tyson was the draw. When King went to Tyson & told him what they were offering he said just make the fight, I don't care about the money.

Moral of the story, Just make the ****ing fight!!

 

yup and haymon and GBP is not very cheap. after paying them, floyd might be ending with the same amount that pac has.

 

That's false. Pacquiao pays Top Rank 27% of his purse. Mayweather pays GBP a flat fee, and that fee is nowhere near 27%. I don't know how much he pays Haymon. I've actually heard before that he doesn't pay him.

 

unless he pays them a flat fee.

 

I have one friend who works for T Mobile but he's under Parsons.

I work for this company who work for Ericsson, wherein Ericsson has projects for T Mobile.

My friend's salary is much bigger than me, go figure.

 

See Puga this is why Arum should have picked up the phone and went into negotiations with Shaefer and the mediator. This will be the biggest fight ever and all the numbers and details need to be addressed.

40 million take it or leave it?

50/50 take it or leave it?

See Puga that is not a negotiation. Documentation beats conversation and those documents and numbers are discussed. Floyd and Manny aren't qualified to discuss those documents and numbers.

 

source?

and how did you know that it is nowhere near 27%? source?

maybe ellerbe, he would do his job for floyd for free, haymon i don't think so.

flat fee, it could be as low as $100 to as high as $10M. we don't know what's the percentage GBP and haymon charges seperately and we all know that it's not cheap.

same as the figure of $40M for floyd.

please read the note...
