The thing about a Mayweather V Pacquiao bout is that the money is ridiculous for Pacquiao, but for Floyd even though it is a ridiculous amount of cash, its still only the equivalent of Floyd having 2 fights. It's the same as Pacquiao having about 6.
How do you figure all that?
Floyd earned between 60-70 Million v Cotto. Pacquiao earns between 10-15mil per fight [Due to Arum's % of course].
In any case you just have to look at pure PPV numbers. If they net the biggest PPV numbers of all time, it will still be roughly at most double the PPV's that Floyd is currently grossing in the 1mil+ range.
Homy please !
Let me break it down for you.
Cotto vs Mayweather did about 1.5 million in sales . That equates to 90 million dollars.
HBO / PPV provider doesn't work for free.
They get around 60% of that .
That left around 40 million for Cotto and Floyd.
Floyd guarantee was 32 million.
Golden Boy doesn't promote his fights for free. Neither does Al Haymon.
Out of that 32 - 33 mill he has to pay both ( splitting Goldenboy's fee with Cotto though )
Don't buy the hype.
Paquiao makes less than Floyd , sure , but not by that much.
Like Pac has Arum , Floyd has Haymon.
Anything else is just Floyd being Floyd.
Nice logic.
Floyd earned between 60-70 Million v Cotto. Pacquiao earns between 10-15mil per fight [Due to Arum's % of course].
where did you ger this ? the highest purse in history is still de la hoya with 52 million $ .
