JMM is my dude, he reps mi raza so why would I be mad? Trust me my family was celebrating that one! And the whole 40 mill was a joke, cuz Manny could have earned way more if he got some of that ppv money but Floyd didn't want that. But when people mention the May vs Pac shit it gets to me cuz Floyd cant speak on anyone he hasn't fought or doesnt want to fight, however you want to take itMayweather is the #1 money making athlete and without endorsements. Manny hasnt made half of 40 mil i dont believe so who is he to dictate how much he makes for the fight when he doesn't know how it is to make that type of money for a fight in the first place. Top Ranked and Manny were the big losers in the whole scheme of things and fingers can be pointed but Mayweather got the last laugh

Pacquiaos guarantee against Marquez was $25 million. He made around $30-$32 million.
Flat rate of $40 million from Floyd cutting out top rank in the richest fight in history? Come on, thats laughable. That would be a small pay raise, then pay 39% taxes not to mention roach, etc. Oh and of course the fact it would be illegal for Pac to cut out top rank and he'd be sued till he dies. Makes perfect sense!

Let's see how Manny does in China. He could make a killing out there. Completely different tax bracket, off shore accounts, billions of people, etc.
Floyd doesn't have the power to do anything like that.
From a financial perspective, DLHs account probably shits on Floyd.
Hell, Oprah's account shits on Floyd. You guys swear this guy has more money than he really does. Fat cats on Wall St wouldn't even look twice at this guy. It's just a gimmick.

That's not true.
The guy has no endorsements. What did he get? A T-Mobile commercial about 4 years ago?
You know why? The guy's personality and face is far from marketable. No company wants to label him as the face.
You know who makes more David Beckham. The guy made 255 million for 5 years in the MLS. That does not include his endorsements in the UK and the rest of the world. No one gives 2 shits about Floyd and his little 6 fight gig. That's IF he even completes the deal. It is also listed as a "potential" payout. That isn't even a guarantee.
Look at Beckham's holdings as well. The guy owns mansions all over this planet earth. Floyd has some pad in Vegas and a little boxing gym. Beckham's real estate alone is worth twice as much as what Floyd has earned in this contract of his.
Don't fall into the hype.

Floyd's endorsements list is a fat whopping ZERO.
Loud mouth people like that get jack diddley.
Tiger Woods made more than Floyd.
You guys hear one thing and think you know...

Finally stepping up....
Ponce De Leon Accepts Gary Russell Jr. For September 7
Former champion Daniel Ponce de Leon (44-5, 35KOs) is planning to move up in weight to 130-pounds and reveals that he recently accepted an offer to fight Gary Russell Jr. on September 7th, televised on Showtime and likely in Texas. In his last fight, Ponce was stopped in the ninth round by Abner Mares in May. The tough Mexican is now looking to move up to a new division to start fresh. He says the Russell (22-0, 13KOs) fight would have to happen at 130-pounds, as Russell fights at 126. Russell is fast but tends to hurt his hands, as he did against Vyacheslav Gusev in March.

You do know that Mayweather will make $232,000,000 at the end of his Showtime deal in two year that shits on Mr. Spice gril Beck. With no edorsement deals or ass kissing to mainstream america. $40Million plus ppv upside for Canelo. There is no Las Vegas record showing that Manny has made more then $8 million base for any of his fight. Manny biggest payday is $25 million $40million was fair. Manny was dumb for turning down the fight two times. Now its time to move on Mayweather has bigger fish to fry.

Manny made $32 million against Marquez.
Arum puts down $8 million or whatever in the state of Nevada because the tax is 39%, plus the Philippines taxes him as well so putting a low purse amount in Nevada (the estimated live gate amount) then the rest in the Philippines (much much lower taxes) is maximizing Pacs money. Otherwise he would get his guarantee of 25 million taxed at 39%!!

"Mayweather is likely looking at a guarantee of around $200 million for the six-fight deal. Pay-per-view revenues will push that total past $250 million. How much past $250 million depends on the quality and marketability of his opponents, as well as Mayweather staying undefeated."
It's going to take 3 years to do this.
I'm not talking about Manny, even though it's hard to say what Asia will do for him. As of right now, Floyd is listed as number 14. Tiger Woods pulled in 78.1 million.
It's one thing to say he has the "potential" to be the highest paid athlete. That's correct. It's another thing to say he IS the highest paid athlete because that simply isn't true, based on current numbers.

You're correct based on current numbers. Last year he was #1 with $85 million.
Tiger Woods Is Back On Top Of The World's Highest-Paid Athletes - Forbes
--------------------------------------------
For those discussing the Pac and Floyd fight, at the time they were going to fight they were pretty much even when it came to rankings and pretty much even when it came to PPV numbers, so you can't say, realistically, that the $40 million was "fair." In hindsight Manny should have taken the fight and Floyd should have bent a little but again, look at their numbers when the serious negations happened and you'll see they were neck and neck.

Thank you. I never did research like dude or any of that. I was going off what the fighting analysis all say. Everytime he is brought up or fights they say he is the top paid athlete so I would think they would know. If not then thats on them I could careless. Just give me dope fights and Im straight. Got Em!!
Floyd will most likely be the highest paid athlete in the year 2013 after the Canelo fight. Right around $80 million.
