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

Not only that but the Ortiz fight made Floyd i think 32 million with PPV, not 40 and the cotto fight didnt even happen yet, but People are counting it?

I think 40 million is the assumed minimum for everything he does now.

[Toyman]

thats not even including endorsements and other income generating sources, which could place pac's net worth in excess of 100 million.



this has to be embarassing for floyd though; offering a flat fee to pac when the numbers clearly show pac has outsold floyd by a huge margin

[A-Wolf]

Look at the monetary average per fight. Of late, Floyd is making 40 million while Manny is doing 25 million, but absurd amounts of money but there is a stark difference between the two numbers to understand where Floyd is coming from in his argument.

Again. That's based on the structuring of each fighter's respective deals, no? Not how much they generate in PPV, ect. Am I wrong? I don't tend to pay attention to money stuff. Just the sport. But I am curious about this because Floyd has been invoking it as an excuse to price himself out. Seemingly.

[TriggerItch]

Manny Pacquiao = 50 million for 2 fights
Floyd made 40 against Victor Ortiz and he's making another 40 against Miguel

That looks like 80 million vs 50 million for the same number of fights.

You want to try that again?

floyd fights once a year

I don't care who makes what...I just hope some of you dudes are getting broken off a nice share of the pie....the ish you dudes bark about is getting kinda gay...I heard 2 woman at the gas station arguing about whose man brings home the most money....I heard 2 chicks arguing at a drive-thru about whose man drives the flyest vehicles

100 million? Where the hell does the other 50 million come from?

[Phenom]

not to beat a dead horse but the OFFICIAL numbers NSAC give for his minimum guarantee is not 50 million more like 14 million in 2011

Earnings represent salary and/or prize money from 2011 calendar year or most recent season and excludes any other source of compensation, unless otherwise noted. If official salary figures were unavailable, earnings were based on information from multiple sources, including leagues, agents, sports federations, cultural centers and the United Nations.

Bold and undelined is from paragraph above list. Thats why its not a highest paid list. ok papi.

So he's the highest paid athlete by playing his sport

So he's the highest paid athlete

Thanks papi

He doesnt have a minimum thats the thing. He's his own boss you cant give yourself a minimum. $40 mil was and is his projected pay if he makes 1.4 PPV buys i think.

That why against Ortiz he made like 32, because PPV did lower then expected at 1.25 i think
