Mayweather : "If I go out and make $60-75million in one night; come on - I'm not losing." Sane man would interpret it as "suckers, I may not win but I aready got paid". BTW, the 60-70 million is a number just plucked out of thin air??? Because there is no way in hell that he is getting that amount. Even if the fight generates 200 million dollars, Mayweather would not be paid that much.
I'm seriously thinking, lets rip off Floyd and lets PAC fight Mosley to cement his WW #1 rank then PAC can retire. PAC does not need FLoyd right now because his legacy is much stronger even at WW after just a single fight. If Floyd is so confident in his value then he should call out PAC from retirement and offer him $60 mln to do the fight.
Try to read between the lines because you would not get anything sane with MaYWEATHER. And when does the amount of prize money guarantee a win. One thing for sure, win or loss, with that amount of money, he already won. His insecure blabbing of not getting any credit if he wins because Pac alreday lost, etc, etc, is beyond me or any logic, JUST SIGN THE ****ING DOTTED LINE, \Assuming that the fight generates 3 million PPV buys, that would be about 180 million dollars, plus gate of 20 million dollars and other revenues from sponsor, the fight would be 200 million dollars plus. If Mayweather demands 60-75 million dollars, there is no way that the fight would be happening.
And if he was fighting for a million bucks? Is he implying that if he was fighting for less amount of money, he will approach a fight differently? Douche bag.
At this point in his career, Mayweather would not fight for a million. He too much of a star. Thats just not enough money.
He is pricing himself out of the fight.what do you think Arum and GBP did when they heard that. They laughed their ass off. It's obvious he will not get a payday like that. He won't even match his DLH payday most likely. 60-75 mil is not happening, and he knows that. He is bad for boxing, more than he is good for it. Totally unexciting. Demands too much money, disillusions fans. The marquez fight was terrible, he couldn't even finish a fighter who had to gain 15 pounds to fight, while he didn't even make weight. Talk about a joke. He knows Freddie has him figured out, and he's dodgin that O!
you don't get the point! The I million is just a number. It could be say 10 million, etc,etc. Why does it always goes to money when Mayweather is involved. It seems his performance is hinged on how much money he will make. BTW, the RJJ fight in sydney against Danny Green, RJJ will be paid something like 1 million dollars.
Thats roy jones. Mayweather's stature is such that now he commnads big bucks to fight. Pacquiao wouldn't fight for a million either as this point.
