Mayweather Wants $20 Million For Pacquiao, Mosley Bouts

[My Name Is...]

Floyd fans do you think 12-15 million guarantee plus ppv and gate is fair?

I think that 15 is good....

But remember TOTAL Revenue is gonna be about 160 - 170 Million..... I think he shoud get a bit more....

55 dollars X 2million buys = 110 Million

Gate = 25 Million

Sponsors = 25 Million

That is 160..... He deserves more than 15.. I think 18- 20 is fair....

Yeah because Floyd has shown the ability to pull those numbers without DLH, right? Have you even taken into consideration the promotional fee's, site, fee's, advertisement, insurence, training expenses, travel, hotel accomodations for family, friends and hangers on? As well as pleny of other expenses Im sure Im leaving out? If the fight doesn't do the numbers, and outside of Hatton and Oscar Floyd has never proven he can, the whole show should go bust so Floyd can get a garuantee? Only a total moron would take that kind of chance.

Love how you make it sound so easy. You must be a promoter yourself, right?

Alot of the stuff you listed has no bearing. 15 million is a lot to wet all the beaks invovled.

The site generally pays to host big events.
Promotinal fees are promoting the fight so advertising is included in that along with hotel rooms, travel expenses.
A promoters cut is part of a fighters cut, same as with everyone else invovled witha specific fighter manager, cut man ect. Family and friend come out a fighters cut also.

50 millon in revenue is a lot of money in boxing, and that is based on a 700k figure, which to me is modest.

All Floyds fight made money on PPV, so they were all pretty successful.

Busines is not that hard to understand, dealing with all the ego invovled and making things workout would be a challenge,

Man I wish I were to run into you in the streets cause this internet tuff guy **** is getting old

yeah they called him and slapped him in the face with a bull**** offer of only $8mill. No doubt but like everyone has been saying 11 or 12 and work other **** into it depending on the buys
If it is promoted rght and sells big and he get 20+ then so be it
but dont make ridiculous counter offers
He unfortunatley is the guy who brings the most money even though myself and others have said otherwise but he doesnt have the balls to fight the real competition

yeah he is retired but he himself told big Al to start listening to offers and see whats on the table
so dont hide behind the "hes retired" bull****!

If he is so retired and we should leave him alone why is he entertaing the thought of returning to the ring?
Why is he owing all thess money in taxes
I beleive its up to $6.5 mill

Fact of the matter is he is coming back and he is hoping for a rematch with Hatton cause it will be for big money and against someone he already beat

he wants no part of 37 Sugar Shane or Pac or Cotto cause he knows dam well that they have a real shot at beating him especially after such a long lay off

naw son..you aint trying to see me in the streets..not at all

If it has no bearing, who pays it? And don't you think whichever PPV conglomerate hosts the fight will take a huge cut? If there is so much money to go around why are only the very top percentage of fighters making it then?

And all of Floyds PPV's wouldn't have made money or happened at all for that matter with a 20 million gauranteed demand. This one won't either, I'd bet on it.

u people r hilarious, Gayweather is NOT worth it, if HE wants to come back, he needs to start fighting REAL welterweights not PACman, he is no natural welterweights, how come he does not want to fight COTTO, Williams, Mosley, cause he will NEVER fight a legitimate boxer that will beat his OVERRATED ass

[JAS_JAS]

i think that boring ass of his should stay retired, i personally dont like fighters who are too concerned of not getting hit, ****, if you dont want to get hit play "CHESS" he is asking too much or is it a ploy? because he knows no one will give him that amount of money so he is trying to overprice himself? by the way someone said he is not a "legit" welterweight and by that reasoning everybody should not force him to fight welterweights WTF!!. who the **** in the 1st place is yapping that he is the BEST welterweight? who's talking out of his ass when he said he will beat anybody from 154 down? floyd's remark prefight "im gonna beat your ass to a pulp blah blah blah yada yada yada". actions of floyd during fight "catch me if you can, im gonna run from you all night until you get tired" lolz
