The "All Things Mayweather/Pacquiao" Express!!!!!!

if only jmm didn't have to move up 12 pounds (plus the urine drinking and rock throwing conditioning regimen) i think it was jmm.

 

now, maybe yes, but deciding the split based on earning is plain stupid

 

Well that's shocking, I don't know how he managed to do that. Anyway, I still think in their primes Jones Jr and Pacquiao could have generated similar sales as Floyd.

 

What one has to consider, at least to some degree, is that PPV/gate sales aren't the same as legacy fights. That said, if they were to fight it would be a legacy fight for both of them and I suspect PPV sales would reflect that. So you're dealing with a much bigger pot and the decision is simply how to divide this pot. Either way it's very likely a career high pay day for both. Seems to me the winner, especially if it's a TKO or a KO should get some kind of bonus like they do in the UFC. Perhaps 10% is held in escrow and the winner of the fight gets it, and they both have to agree on the judges.

 

We've been down this road a million times, Floyd doesn't have the cajones to get in with Pacquiao regardless of $$$.........

 

:rasta May 1, 2010: Mayweather vs Mosley;
PPV numbers: 1.4 million buys!

 

That's what their earnings are. It's the only source of determining who draws more.

 

Prize Fighters fighting for charity
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Be a little easy on these guys please. Their brains will implode if too much logic is interjected into the discussion.:deal

 

Calculate how much revenue Floyds PPV+gate did vs Pac-Bradley ppv+gate and I guarantee it doesn't equal 71/29. Floyd would have had to generate more than double the revenue to justify that pay split.

 

Ok...even if the split would be 70-30 in favoir of Floyd, what would be the next excuse?!?

 

Compare Floyds gates to Pac's gates:smooch

 

Floyd charges more for his seats, what does that prove? Pac drew 41,000 fans to his fight on US soil.

 

Pac-Bradley 2 gate = $7.8 million Manny's lowest in years:sad2

Mayweather-Maidana is expected to be Las Vegas’ fourth largest live gate at $15 million. :scaredas::scaredas:



:beat

 

Are you actually a boxing fan or, what should it be called, a boxing promoter's fan?

Hmm :huh
