The Fight could generate, as you said, $300 mil, Gross.. Which means, this is NOT the real income generated by the fight. This does NOT cover the costs for making the fight happen. You have to pay people for this fight, not just the fighters. Venue gets a cut. Promoters get a cut. HBO/Showtime gets a cut. Which leaves you with more or less a $100 mil for the fighters. So, hey, they could still pay Floyd the $100 mil, if Pac agrees to fight for free, that is.

Fights don't cost that much to make~ the biggest cost is paying the stars~


Venue would pay them to do it there~

160 covers every one else more than enough~

Did you listen to why Floyd got close he gets cut in on the promoters ends so he is dipping his beak in the water twice

LOL the hell with a fight, might as well finance a James Cameron movie and make a much bigger return LOL. I think you're exaggerating JUST a little bit. This is obviously not going to happen.

Those numbers are for the fight breaking records so of course they will seem high, but that is the only way a guy would make that kind of money. I don't think I went that overboard, but if the fight doesn't break record no one deserves record breaking pay.

It could be made to work under a record breaking scenario.


Boxing and blockbuster movies have a similar model.

You're ****** if you think this fight will sell that much in the state of the world we are in today. Crisis after crisis, good luck Floyd.

Maybe last year when demand was at its peak and before all these tragedies and crisis hits.

That sort of thing is unrelated and you do know people spend money to make themselves feel better.


Some times people want an escape~

[The Gambler1981]

we know it will break ppv record
we know arum can still make huge money even he pay mayweather 100m
but it still too much

If it is possible I don't see how it is asking for to much. IF it is printing that much cash how can you say that.

I would rather the fighters get it than the suits.

The voice of reason.

OK I am caught up~


Unless you think about what the fight is worth, how can you make any claims about what anyone should be paid~

No one knows the context of 100 million, so claiming it was a demand as opposed to an opportunity is just using something to suit your own purpose~
