I find this staggering, that someone who has been so successful and earnt an exceptional amount of money is being hounded for taxes and in proportion, small amounts of cash. What an idiot, he really does have his priorities messed up it seems...
You think the notoriously cheap vince mcmahon is gonna pay a boxer for one nights work 20 mill? not even the rock, stone cold, or undertaker gets that kind of money.
He made at lot more less with those 2 fights, hence the money problems.

Just look at this fight, he says he's guaranteed 15 mill, we find out it was 10. the oscar fight, he got 70-30 in oscar's favor then after a certain number of buys it went even further into oscar's favor. The hatton fight, he didnt get a sniff of the UK tv money. & the 20 million pay day for 1 night's work at wwe? bull****.

I could see Floyd getting around 5mil for having a real match but nothing more.
WWE is public so i'm sure the real amount is on the net somewhere.
just found this
Months before Wrestlemania XXIV, the WWE announced regularly that Floyd Mayweather would be given $20 million dollars to have a boxing match with Paul "the Big Show" Wight. The company mentioned this so often that quite a few news sources reported the $20 million dollar figure as fact. But more than likely the $20 million dollar payout was apart of the wrestling storyline, especially since the WWE reported that Wrestlemania XXIV generated around $23.8 million in total revenue.
There are sources that are reporting that Mayweather more than likely received around $2 million for his Wrestlemania appearance, plus a percentage of the pay-per-view buys.Last edited by Stab Judah; 09-19-2009, 01:22 PM.

He made TV money in UK. He got paid off foreign tv rights.
He got a small fraction of the 20 mil he claimed for WWE. Likely $3 mil
2007, he made nearly USD 50 Mn
He made good money last year as a promoter of Lil Wayne's successful tour.
The guarantee for Numero Uno is USD 10 mn, and even decent PPV nums should bring it to $15 Mil. Great nums would earn him $20-ish.
The guy just needs to STOP SPENDING.
