Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Receive $40 Million Guarantee For Ortiz?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Although not confirmed, multiple sources are reporting that five division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to receive a guarantee of $40 million dollars to face WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz on September 17, likely at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The financial figure is being spread like a forest fire behind closed doors in the boxing industry. The number is astronomical, with Mayweather obviously receiving the bulk of the money involved with the promotion. The Mayweather, who co-promotes the HBO pay-per-view event with Golden Boy Promotions, will be crossing his fingers to receive a record buyrate figure to make the show a huge financial success.

Floyd must be the richest per minute athlete in the world, he performs for 36 minutes per year and makes millions upon millions, shattering records along the way

this must surely be the highest guarantee in boxing history

It will sell well because of two things 1)PBF and 2)Mexican fighting o Mexican Independence. Mexicans love boxing they look for any excuse to purchase a ppv.

You have to take into account training I reckon but still two months of training, with fight night is still not that much total time to make over $40 million, 5ish million a week not bad if you can get it~

Ortiz is American

"It will sell well because of two things 1)PBF and 2)Mexican fighting o Mexican Independence. Mexicans love boxing they look for any excuse to purchase a ppv."

Victor Ortiz is an American of Mexican ancestry not a Mexican. I'm sure it will be used to sell ppv's but it annoys me greatly when people don't give credit to good American fighters as Americans.
