Mayweather Wants $20 Million For Pacquiao, Mosley Bouts

[The Gambler1981]

I think 8million is more than enough for a fighter who could never carry a PPV on his own VS a Fighter who may be very popular in his home country but is still only a moderate success in the US. Then factor in that the economy is in the Tank and less people are gonna pay 59.99$ a PPV between 2 fighters with lukewarm popularity in the US.

Plus you also have to factor in that if Pac man loses 20 million becomes as realistic as Floyd winning the lottery.

You are wrong, people might be less inclined to travel to Vegas but buying a fight on PPV might let them escape, think about times they could go to Vegas and watch a fight.


Also this thread is not about him fighting a nobody (every fighter draws better against another name fighter, it takes 2 to make a mega fight).
This is about him taking on Shane Mosley who is a name, not a huge seller but explain to me why this can not do as good as the Hatton fight. Also against Pacman who is one of the biggest names in the US, I don't see how that does less then a million and could do much more.


Anybody fighting a nobody would see a drop off in their numbers ask Oscar, that is a cop out arguement.

bottomline is floyd dont want to come back if he's demanding that much money

damn Mayweather is popular. 630+ posts in like 3 days on one of his comeback topics.

hoenstly, he would probebly get that much if he were to fight Pacquiao coming off a Hatton win.

eventually Floyd will come back.

You don't understand how boxing works financially do you? The amounts you are quoting were not guaranteed figures. They were the figures Mayweather made when everything was taken into account. $20 million guaranteed is crazy for anyone other than Ali, Tyson or Leonard and Floyd aint anywhere near their level of popularity.

Question:

What is THE ABSOLUTE LOWEST amount of revenues that a PBF-Mosley fight would make? What is the ABSOLUTE LOWEST amount that a PBF-Pac fight would make?

Now, who else can they (Mosley, Pac et al) to get the payday that they would get vs Mayweather?

Side note: The Mayweather guarantees were six mil for Judah (reduced to five after the loss) and $8,000.001 for TaTa. Look it up.


LOL @ Ali. You are so daft.

Who carried the Mayweather-Judah PPV?

Who carried the Mayweather-Baldomir PPV?

Hell, who carried the Mayweather-Hatton PPV? (and feel free to tell me about Hatton's OTHER US PPV's).

Its not that he's that popular. Its about this being a highly debatable topic between realistic boxing fans, and delusional fanboys who only care about Floyd's well being and financial status.

And the Haters buy the same number of tickets as the Fans.

The ONLY ppv that Floyd has carried on his own 2 was the Baldomir bout.

Judah was pretty well known, and a fight between him and Floyd has been talked about amongst boxing fans for years!
