ESPN - Manny Pacquiao was the highest paid athlete in the world in 2011

Pacquiao also injects a lot of money into the Vegas economy when he fights due to all the high rolling Asian gamblers who fly in and drop large cash at the tables.

They're purses should have little effect in the split of the fight revenue in a fight between them. Pacquiao's promoter takes full responsibility for the promotion and it's costs and so in turn takes a share of the revenue, Mayweather uses his promotional company for the promotion and it's costs and rents GBP for probably a lesser fee, so much of the promotional revenue goes to his purse minus the costs. At the end of the day it's the money Top Rank can generate from Manny's fights vs the money Mayweather/Golden Boy promotions generate from their fights.

their last fight-

Pacquiao-Marquez
PPVx1.41($55)=$77.5M..probably a bit more taking into account HD buys
Gate (crowd 16,368)=$11.6M
total=$89.1M, plus the HD buys

Mayweather-Ortiz
PPVx1.25($60+HD buys)=$78.4M
Gate (crowd 14,687)=$9M
total=$87.4M


Sponsorship money and all that, both guys will bring the sponors to this fight no doubt, Manny arguably more so being a bigger worldwide figure.

This fight is 50-50, revenue should be split down the middle and they should each have equal responsibility and share in the costs of the promotion. However each side splits their share is irrelevant. The deal Mayweather is asking for is ludicrous, he is looking to ride off Pacquiao's name to a probable $100M payday while offering Pac only $40M. How anyone defends it is beyond me, his fanboys are devoted that's for sure.

The only problem here is that PAC fought twice last year and more than DOUBLED the revenue and gross profit that floyd brought in.

50/50 is way too generous if your on Pac's side. The fight should be 65-25 Pac with an additional 10% to the winner.


You could make the argument that floyd is lucky to get anything at all. You don't tell the highest paid athlete in the world how the purse should be split up. He tells you that and you listen and take it or walk. Either way hes still gonna be the highest paid athlete in the world until he decides to retire and run for president of a country.

And recently...

Floyd has said to sports writers...

That he has admitted he is a "rich coward!" - At least I'm a damn rich coward!

It's like saying I am gay and I'm proud lol

lol he has no shame of admitting it's all about the Benjamins.. This conman still seems to fool a lot of people. Clear as day he rather be a rich coward than face a legit threat.. Geez.. And he is suppose to be a warrior?? It's a disgrace to the boxers of the past and the present to call yourself a coward and be proud of it..

Next time it would be gay fighters taking over the sport hehe!

[Story]

I'd care about this if I was paid for it.

[trainhard_187]

Fight should be 50-50 anyways, people want to see these two particular fighters in the ring.. Floyd asking for more is just simply pricing himself out..

NO IFS, ANDS, or BUTs..

He really said that? Source please?

Yup, ask TOYMAN. He was in Vegas with a bunch of sports writers interviewing Floyd. And he said exactly that. So what I'm a rich coward! At least I'm rich..

That's all you need to know. It's proof beyond reasonable doubt.

This fight is over coz the gay ass fighter is all about safety and preservation.

These numbers doesn't tell much. We need to see what share Bob Arum gets.

He really said that? Source please?

Here's the link:


But if he's so sure he can whip the PacMan, why is the risk so great? He is facing a libel action from Paquiao for insinuating that he uses drugs but he says: 'S*** man can't you see. Come on. He was nowhere back in the day but he's grown through eight divisions. Come on. Even his head got bigger. Ray Charles could see it.'

But hasn't Pacquiao agreed to his demand for Olympic standard blood testing? 'Bulls***. Bob Arum (PacMan's promoter) says it but Arum is a f***** liar. Go ahead, call me a coward. But if so I'm a rich coward. And you all know I ain't scared.'
