Comments Thread For: 50 Cent To Mayweather: You Work For De La Hoya, B*tch?

[E. O. Wilson]

Fact check... Curtis has no friends in the music business, nor in boxing, acting, or even ass kissing. He latched on tk Floyd thinking he c ok uld jump start his career off Floyd's name. What he didn't count on was the people in the boxing world already knew his record and smelled his BS miles away. Anyone that has been around this clown can tell you, Curtis is one of the biggest backstabbers ever. Why would a guy respond to Floyd about he's got money???? Why would you even respond if you had money. So apparently Curtis you ole ninja turtle looking fool just y responding says you have NO MONEY..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA Curtis 50cent Jackson ain't worth 50cent. ........ Hey Curtis its your birthday, we gonna party like its you birthday. ..You can find him at his the curb where Floyd kicked his back stabbing azz.....

are you gay or a female? only chicks and gay guys are that into "celeb gossip"

This is hillarious two illuminati b1tches both pimped out with fiat currency hardly worth the paper the feds print it on...most of the paper going back to the feds through the collections dept (IRS) anyway. This feud will stop when the illuminati pimps are no longer entertained and tell both guys "b1tches you both pretty now shvt the fvc up and buy another house!" When mack daddy Jay Z and the Satanists who run Hollywood vis a vis entertainment and the record labels, command it, you best believe little Floyd and Curtis will both shvt it.

So good people enjoy it, get a hard on while you can....Two Knarly ratchets in a catfight one tears the bra off the other one, and until mack daddy separates them enjoy the catfight.

Last time I checked, the boss writes the checks and doesn't receive them from the others he is in business with.

If Mayweather were, as he claims to be, "his own boss," then Mayweather would be writing the check to Golden Boy and not the other way around.

Al Haymon is not Mayweather's boss. He's an adviser. Mayweather pays Haymon from the money he earns. But Golden Boy pays Mayweather for the work that he does.

"For most of the first 10 years of his career, Mayweather fought for the promotional company Top Rank Boxing, under a more typical model, with most of his money guaranteed upfront. Their split, in 2006, was far from amicable, marked by lawsuits.

Once freed, Mayweather met with Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon, his most trusted advisers, to develop a new plan. They wanted to control every aspect of a promotion, including the promoters, whom Mayweather hires on a contract basis for each fight. He also changed his nickname, from Pretty Boy Floyd to Money Mayweather, part of a philosophical shift.

For his last four fights, Mayweather has hired Golden Boy Promotions, a company started by Oscar De La Hoya but run by Richard Schaefer, a former Swiss banker with no previous boxing background....

Roger Federer does not make money off the sales of strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, nor does Derek Jeter***8217;s contract include the Yankees***8217; TV contract in Asia. Mayweather has devised an altogether different model for marquee athletes.

But, under this model, the expenses are Mayweather expenses, too, including advertising (radio spots, print ads, TV commercials), publicity (press tours, news conferences), sanctioning fees, legal contracts and insurance. For a fight of this magnitude, Schaefer said the expenses would run about $10 million.

First, Mayweather will write himself a check this week in the neighborhood of $25 million. This is similar, in concept, to the guaranteed money that other fighters receive from their promoters, but the check is much larger. Besides Mayweather, only Manny Pacquiao would command that much. What Mayweather earns in addition depends on the success of the event.

If 1.4 million or 1.5 million fans buy the fight ***8212; which is expected ***8212; Mayweather will make about $40 million, Schaefer said.

For comparison, consider Pacquiao. For his coming November fight, Top Rank has guaranteed $22 million and a percentage of other revenue for a total of $30 million, said Bob Arum, chairman of Top Rank. If the fight is canceled because of a natural disaster, for example, Pacquiao will still make $22 million, whereas Mayweather would stand to lose much of his total earnings.

Because Mayweather has averaged about 1.5 million pay-per-view buys in his last four fights, and because no natural disaster has wiped out any boxing event in recent memory, he considers his risk quite low. Even Arum, Mayweather***8217;s stated nemesis, conceded ***8220;there***8217;s no loss, only profit.***8221; He added: ***8220;In the end, it may be less than the guarantee, but it***8217;s all profit.***8221;

Arum and others, however, believe that there is value in promotion and that Mayweather would make even more if he ceded total control. Mayweather disagrees, and even says the formula can be duplicated by other fighters ***8212; for a fee, of course.

***8220;That***8217;s going to cost you!***8221; he said.

To understand Floyd's business model, this is probably the best article I've read:

"Roger Federer does not make money off the sales of strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, nor does Derek Jeter’s contract include the Yankees’ TV contract in Asia. Mayweather has devised an altogether different model for marquee athletes.

But, under this model, the expenses are Mayweather expenses, too, including advertising (radio spots, print ads, TV commercials), publicity (press tours, news conferences), sanctioning fees, legal contracts and insurance.

What Mayweather earns in addition depends on the success of the event.

If 1.4 million or 1.5 million fans buy the fight — which is expected — Mayweather will make about $40 million, Schaefer said.

For comparison, consider Pacquiao. For his coming November fight, Top Rank has guaranteed $22 million and a percentage of other revenue for a total of $30 million, said Bob Arum, chairman of Top Rank. If the fight is canceled because of a natural disaster, for example, Pacquiao will still make $22 million, whereas Mayweather would stand to lose much of his total earnings.

Even Arum, Mayweather’s stated nemesis, conceded “there’s no loss, only profit.” He added: “In the end, it may be less than the guarantee, but it’s all profit.”

Arum and others, however, believe that there is value in promotion and that Mayweather would make even more if he ceded total control. Mayweather disagrees, and even says the formula can be duplicated by other fighters — for a fee, of course.

“That’s going to cost you!” he said.

Gotta give this one to Floyd lol. Not only is it ridiculous to ridicule a fighter for not being a proficient reader, but Floyd somehow knew exactly how to get under fittys skin. Great work Floyd hahaha

[BoZz]

man fiddy is such a whiny b1tch lol

[JJRod]

Enough of this crap. Unless 50 is telling us when Gamboa, Kirkland or Dirrell are fighting or that he signed a new boxer, he should not be getting boxing articles written about him.

This ridiculous beef over who's more illiterate, who has the most money, or who's vagina hurts the most belongs in a gossip column, not boxing!

You must really be smart talking about the illuminati and all

Watching the floydgimps in here catching feelings is almost as funny/pathetic as this cheesy beef.
