Pacquiao tops Mayweather in PPV buys for last three fights
January 26th, 2012
By John F. McKenna (McJack): World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) has topped WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s) in Pay Per View (PPV) buys for his last three fights. In addition Pacquiao’s live gate attendance far exceeds Mayweather during the same time span.
Floyd’s fight with Marquez in 2009 drew 1 million PPV buys.
Pacquiao’s fight with Antonio Margarito in 2010 drew 1.5 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s fight Shane Mosley drew 1.4 million PPV buys. Despite Mosley being perceived as a shot fighter, Pacquiao drew 1.3 million PPV buys in their May 2011 fight.
In total Pacquiao’s last three fights have drawn 3.86 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s last three fights have pulled in 3.65 million PPV buys. In summation Pacquiao drew in 210,000 more PPV buys than Mayweather did. When you take into account the higher number of PPV buys that Pacquiao’s fights have drawn it translates into a cool $10,000,000 in cash.
It is true that the Floyd Mayweather – Oscar De La Hoya fight in May 2007 drew a record 2.4 million PPV hits. Many boxing observers largely attribute the high PPV numbers in that fight to the extreme popularity of the Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya and the fact that it was held on the Cinco De Mayo holiday.
But Pacquiao’s recent higher PPV numbers only tell part of the story. In the same three fights Pacquiao sold out the venues, while Mayweather’s last three fights were not sold out. In addition, when Manny Pacquiao fights at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas a significantly higher number of high rollers from Asia fly into Vegas for his fights. The economic impact in Las Vegas for a Pacquiao fight far outstrips that of any other fighter.
In a study by CSE, an integrated sports and marketing firm, Pacquiao is one of only two boxers in the 2012 Power Rankings of the most powerful athletes in the world. Manny is ranked at number 28. Mayweather is ranked 49th in the same study. Both on and off field accomplishments are taken into account in the rankings. Endorsements and media presence figure heavily in the rankings.
Mayweather’s assertion that he deserves a bigger piece of the pie if and when he ever fights Pacquiao is absurd, notwithstanding Manny’s statement a couple of months ago that he was willing to take a smaller cut. Of course Floyd now seizes Pacquiao’s own words and uses them against him as a further excuse not to fight him.

Whats so funny is Manny makes more money just on the live gate alone. JMM III arena sold out, Ortiz they had to give tickets away and were still selling day after the fight…LOL!

Fight Hype is talking about the promoters/venue share not the guarantee.

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez III pay-per-view, from the Nevada commission.
Manny Pacquiao $22,000,000
Juan Manuel Marquez $5,000,000
Thank you for telling the truth. Fraud didn’t release his own numbers but somehow has Manny’s, yeah right. Like BoxingDawg said this is what is reported to NSAC venue sales. Stupid Floydiots always feeding off on the lies.
sorry pac man you lost again butt you still got the win how do you sleep at night ??????? get back with me on that one,see ya and i wouldnot want to be ya.
floyd is going to be fine dont worry about that .
PACMAN MAKES SO MUCH MORE THAN FLOYD THROUGH HIS ENDORSEMENT! FLOYD’S FANS DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW!!!
I will say, MP is an exciting fighter. People love the energy & all out warrior nature of him but that doesn’t mean he’s a better fighter. Its just more fun 2 watch the carnage. FMJ is a better fighter because of his defense. He uses 2 actually fight like MP but honestly who wants 2 end up like. Ali, Leonard and Roy Jones, really? (brain damaged)
This article is actually misleading. It excludes the fact that fights require two people. Meaning 2 fan bases would show up. MP fought more popular fighters. Plus w/ Mayweather its like watching a adult play fight w/ a child.
What a excellent article John,please can u teach dan b.s ambrose & chris b.s williams the importance about facts on how to write boxing articles.As a true art fan of boxing it’s sad that it’s come to this. I think Floyd is a fighter that would have been k’od in the eighties with true champions of the sport rather than acting like a spoilt brat & thinking he’s on top of the boxing world..He’s not bigger than boxing or manny pacquiao & never will be,as much i enjoy watching him fight his just another well marketed athlete that has never really proved himself by facing the best..as for manny,he’s a very humble guy who came from the streets & u can’t blame him for listening to everything Bob Arum says because with Bob & Freddy Roach he really wouldn’t have been where is is today because thats all he knows as he trust those guys..
Floyd need to go 50/50 on the fight period,why?? Because without Manny he wouldn’t have the most prized fight of all time..
Floyd will need to get a life after jail!!!!
He is not as good as Pretty Boy! Never! Manny needs to get a life!
Floyd is not afraid of Pacquiiao!
The pac vs Marquez fight was free in mexico aired on TV azteca.
I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT MONEY HERE.IM ASKING WHO IS THE BORING FIGHTER,PACQUIAO OR MAYWEATHER,MY ANSWER IS FLOYD MAYWEATHER…..YEHEYYYYYYYYY.I GOT THE RIGHT ANSWER YEHHHHHHEEEEEYYYYYYY,
its funny that manny draws alot of viewers which put more money in bob arum pockets meanwhile mayweather makes most of the money goes to his pocket way to go mayweather this all started with de la hoya way to go for exploiting this
Why can’t Floyd’s fans face the truth? Manny is from the Phillippines and he still outdraws Floyd, who is from the U.S.A.
@ polo: What part of Manny brings in moren money than Floyd don’t you understand, or is it that you can’t handle the truth?
Hahaha, thanks for the writer to enlighten those who dream about Floyd being the bigger draw. Gone are those days. Manny is P4P king (according to Ring Magazine, not just cheap talk or stupid comments) and he is the bigger draw. Floyd should be happy Manny is fighting him on equal terms.
Arum has gone on record saying ” Miguel Cotto needs a KO to get a draw with my lapdog”
Wakeup Froid, you’re no long PPV king. You’re rank is 49 Froid, 21ranks lower than Pacman 28 ranks in most powerful professional sportsman in US even though Pacman is Filipino.
Now you talk about Money that SSS does not want to share as an excuse that SSS does not want to fight Manny, What about Random Blood Test was NOT willing to be done by Manny?????????????? If SSSSSSS Not a problem then RANDOM as a hurles to avoid Manny????????? Come on when you write somethings we have to be honest and every single words are accountable, Willing to take a small pie in order to make the fight is coming from Manny therefore SSSSS trying to kill two birds with one stone however but sooner or later SSSS will agree with fair split and another prob coming with full random — who avoid to fight Floyd???????? Tyson VS Holyfield 2 had done it so whats a matter???
this is what you call facts! not fantasy article
@THE WORST BOXER
Nagcomment ka na naman.. bakla ka naman…hahaha comment pa lang baklang bakla talaga..hahaha
floidie take the 50/50 deal, be thankful.
Well folks, there you have it, as i have said all along Pacquiao is a bigger drawn than Mayweather, which means he is the better fighter.
LOL Showtime never even released the Pac-Mosley numbers. In all likelihood Arum refused to allow it, just like he refused to release the Hatton-Pac numbers.
@ BoxingDawg:
Did you mean Floyd’s $25 million= (purse+ppv share) and Manny’s $7 million=(purse only) ppv share not included.?

floyd has always been second fiddle…AND WILL ALWAYS BE.
paquiao take the test. stop being scared. fight fighters at their natural weight instead of cathweight. face floyd pu-c
its just means, boxing fans are tired of Floyd cherry pick fight from GBP.
floyd has always been second fiddle
in that 2.5M PPV blockbuster oscar/floyd fight…floyd only played a cameo role. YET HE SHAMELESSLY CLAIM THAT IT’S BECAUSE OF HIM.
he was a nobody before he fought oscar…averaging 250K PPV per fight. mention floyd mayweather…and old man floyd comes to mind… never the li’l young one.
li’l floyd is just a product of hype.
Someone was using my name as usual.This idiot is so mad at me but he likes my name,bcoz i’m telling the truth but he’s trying to defend his idol a convicted criminal.I’m famous again here….yeheeeey…thanks!Bwahahahahaha…
Are you the one who really wants to meet me? and same to me…just tell me where we gonna see each other you idiot,ok?Bwahahahahahaha!
Pac You is in love with Pacquiao. You go girl.
Manny is a frabicated fraud.
What is important here is…if the boxer is a real warrior,who is brave not coward,who has a lion heart,who can entertained people and who can bring excitement to the people and enjoy the intensity of the fight.It’s not the money after all bcoz they surely earned money which is far more bigger than we can earned. And you know who?….PACMAN, one of the greatest boxer of all time.But the scared and coward Floyd Jr is a Fake.Bwahahahahaha!
@ Chris: Your info is bogus!
@ Chris
Yeah you are an idiot yapping on about the 7.5 still when I told you its fake.
@ Fred###
If fighters with a zero in the loss column was such an important part of the rankings, tell me how many P4P #1 there have been with defeats on their records dum dum get a grip
@ Chris
Yeah you are an idiot yapping on about the 7.5 still when I told you its fake.
@ Fred###
If fighters with a zero in the loss column was such an important part of the rankings, tell me how many P4P #1 there have been with defeats on their records dum dum
@ hostel…Even after he pays GBP, HE STILL MAKES MORE MONEY THAN PACFRAUD! And your mom is a twerp.
mayweather should get more money,pound for pound the best for years 42 -0 pac man got ko 3 times by who??? who cares,he is not pound for pound no way,boxing is boxing you cant rewrite the rudes just for the love of pac man
im not surprised lil floyd phoned pacman long-distance…what’s so special about Pacman…why many boxers want to fight him?
check your facts pacquiao v margarito did 1.15 million not 1.5 million. Mayweather also made more revenue than pacquiao v marquez 3 in the ortiz fight and he was pulling the doing it without a big named fighter like marquez.
The bottom line Jamal is, that Pacquiao’s numbers are increasing and Mayweather’s are decreasing and Manny makes a whole lot more in endorsements than Maynever does. I feel so jolly good about that Chris…..er, I meant to say Jamal!
@ Chris (Jamal): Nobody bleves your stuff anymore! Write something more colourful!
You people can dog Mayweather all you want but facts are facts what pacquiao brings home is not what his ppvs do. His highest purse is 7 million while mayweather’s is 25 million mayweathers never been beat, pacquiao has been beat twice and knocked out 3 times. And what you people dont understand is that pacman is just comin to fight as with mayweather he goin to be funding a part of the promotion out of his own pocket so ofcourse he should deserve to make more.
@ Chris
You are an idiot, What reliable source did that fax come from?? Exactly there isn’t one. How do you explain the Mosley bought on there being a Middle weight Championship fight retained by Pacquiao?? You can not believe it. Unless you are just a Fraud Maynever fanboy who believes in santa and the tooth fairy still Dream on little boy dream on
listen manny pacquio ppv s did more but his purse wasnt nothin the most hes ever made is seven million meyweather makes like 25 million do the math
In regard to Manny’s offer, had Mayweather took the offer right then maybe Pacquiao would have to honor his words. However, Mayweather didn’t take it at that time means the offer had expired and thus Pacquiao changed his mind and would like to have a 50/50 split. What’s wrong with that?
NOW ITS MAYWEATHER”S TURN FOR AN EXCUSE. HE NOW WANTS MORE MONEY THAN PACMAN. They both take turns avoiding the fight.
@ Barberek
Fraud does not get 100% of his money you twerp. He has to pay his promoter GBP
@ calij
The figure you are talking about ( 7.5 mil ) is from a fax suposedly from NSAC. Looked as Fake as Fraud Maynever himself.
1. the list went back some years, so if this was real how has it only just come to light.
2. According to that very Fax Pacquiao retained the Middle weight championship against Shane Mosley.
Complete and utter rubbish is what it is, at a time when Fraud is running out of Ammo to derail the fight.
It is funny how all the allegations start on blogs fo look at NSAC website you will find nothing
What he generates in buys as oppose to what he takes home in his pocket are 2 different things. This article once again is not accurate. 40% of what he would make with Mayweather is worth more than what he would make fighting anyone else. When Pac fought Cotto, he made 7.5 million. if Pac fights Floyd, it may generate 100 million right? the combined purse for both fighters would be 50 million. 40% of 50 million is 20 million. So I’ll ask all the Pactards…Would Pacquiao want 20 million dollars with Floyd or 7.5 million dollars with Cotto? All these PPV buys are not relevent when Pacquiao is not seeing the bulk of the revenue generated. ARUM SEES THE MAJORITY OF IT! Floyd sees 100% of his revenue and THEN he distributes it out how he wants to. BIG DIFFERENCE PACTARDS! You’re too stupid to even root for your guy properly! LOL! No matter how you cut it; 50/50…60/40…Pacquiao would get more money fighting Floyd than anyone else. Istead of arguing with the Money team, ya’ll need to start e-mailing Arum and tell him to stop jerking Pacquiao out of his money! Wake up and smell the failure!
At will
You’re dead wrong about your analysis. Hindsight indicated that pacmans tickets and ppv were affordable while Floyds were overpriced. Plus pacmans fights are exciting. Floyd’s fights are boring. Hate can only last for so long but not strategic.
Airdukes
The fact that Pacquiao supporters have to exaggerate his numbers just shows you the truth of his inferiority to Floyd Mayweather.
I don’t understand he tops him in pay-per-view buys but only tops out at 7.4 million purse. As someone says he does this to avoid the IRS. lol If Al Capone could not avoid the IRS and UBS(Swiss Bank- for anyone who needs clarification) could not now why would pac-man be able to. I think he needs to slap bob arum and Michael dunce. For Al haymon no complaints mayweather got 25 million for victor ortiz. Pac-man lovers he was actually moving in the right direction when he hired vision qwest (I was happy because love or hate the dude nobody deserves what arum is doing to him) to audit his books but for some reason they got fired. All I have to say is that Bob Arum has something over manny that will not make he leave. It has to be it.
@Pac
No you are wrong. Pacquiao versus Margarito did 1.15 million. Do just a small amount of research and you can find out yourself. No one has ever claimed that it sold 1.5 million until today.
Pacman edges FloydJoy a way far in every aspects period.
some body tell chris williams he no hablo
FROM OUTER PERSPECTIVE, FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS THE CHALLENGER
It is all the fault of Floyd Mayweather if the Mega figh does not happen. The main reason being: WHY MAYWEATHER KEEPS INSISTING TO GET THE LION’S SHARE WHEN HE IS NOT THE CURRENT AND RECOGNIZED NO.1 POUND FOR POUND KING BY WORLD BOXING COMMISSIONS. EVEN AT 50/50 RATIO, MANNY PACQUIAO IS THE AGGRIEVED PARTY IF ONE IS TO LOOK INTO THEIR BOXING CREDENTIALS. MAYWEATHER IS BEHIND MANNY PACQUIAO BY OFFICIAL RECOGNITION AND COMPARISON.
floidie should be thankful that Pacquiao offered him a 50/50 deal!
the difference is that Floyd’s fights are expensive and Manny’s are cheap. Let Arum try n charge ^% for Manny’s fights n see what happens… Floyd makes u hate him for u to buy the fight in hopes of him to loose. its stronger than buying a fight to watch your idol box. So pple that buy Floyd’s are real boxing fans and enthusiasts tho hating him.
Manny vs Margarito was 1.15 millin ppv
Manny vs Mosely was 1.3 million ppv and yeah Manny vs JMM is right at 1.38 mill ppv..
Ps note the truth and not What Arum suspects it might do
So what happened after the Oscar fight…. Manny has the edge on PPV except the Clottey fight but sold 45,000 tickets.
Manny’s top 4 has more buys that Floyd’s last 4 fights.
Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton – 950K
Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Márquez – 1.05M
Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley – 1.4M
Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz – 1.25M
–
Ricky Hatton vs. Manny Pacquiao – 850K
Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto – 1.25M
Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey – 700k
Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito – 1.15M
Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley -1.3M
Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez – 1.45M
@pAc, u a clown for taking this bird for a writer word, go up wiki and look that up!!
Mayweather’s last 3 fight did 1 mil plus!! Check wiki!!
I don’t care if pbf fights pac or not, pbf still makes more cash and PAC is a puppet!! Floyd gonna make his regardless!!
Boxingdawg….u can say whatever u want end of the day numbers don’t like. Floyd gets 50 percent or more of everything. Manny gets a prtion of ppv and remember arum gets 27percent and golden boy 13 percent of mannys revenue.we also know we have no idea what mosley and marquez fightmade no official numbers ever given.
This is a pure lie,, I just look at wiki files and mayweather generated more cash and sold more ppv!
@polo … Without Golden Boy … Floyd would have never made that money.
The promoter guarantees the money… Golden Boys was just dumb!!!
Name another promoter that will back Floyd.
Pac gets 15 mil a fight and pbf see 20-25 mil
@PAC…. Doesn’t matter if he sold out venues didn’t gross as much as floyds gates. Those are just the facts. Look up the numbers top 6 grossing ppv fights of all time non heavyweight are floyds manny is not on that list. Look It up google.com or something…… @ boxing dog. Anyway u put if floyd generates more revenue make more money. That’s what happens when u are ur own boss.
@Pac says,what are you stupid?what would you say if cotto asks for 50/50 against Pacquiao?this is more like that dummy!
Pac is willing to get less; what he mean is he is willing to get less perecentage, he usually gets from 80 to 90 percent. Now he is willing to get 50 perecent whick is less. Now Mayweather also usually gets around 80 to 95 perecent. I don’t think he is willing to get 50 percent just to get fight going.
Boxing Money … Look at the Manny vs Mosley fight:
Mosley’s official purse on the Nevada contract is $3.950 million, although he is guaranteed $5 million
Pacquiao’s official purse is $6 million on the Nevada contract but he is guaranteed $20 million from by Top Rank because of PPV.
The purse (minimum) is from the promoter pocket … the rest is from PPV .. if the PPV revenues are short, then promoter covers the rest.
Floyd basically S U C K E R E D Golden Boy more out of pocket money.
Floyd Mayweather fought ONCE! It took Manny Pacquiao 3 fights to overcome ONE FIGHT from Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao deserves no more than a 35% split…
Just seen the fake fax with Pacquiaos supposed purse. The biggest supposedly being 7.4 mil hahaha
And this is supposed to be officially from NSAC so why does it say Pac Succesfully defended the MW championship against Mosley
And there are idiot Fraud fans lapping this joke up hahaha
My goodness! Floyd should be the one with a smaller piece of the pie! He is out of his tree for thinking otherwise!
Nice work again Mr. McKenna! Keep writing helpful articles like this. Bye!
@Peplz,
Nope, you are wrong. Pacquiao vs. Margarito’s PPV buys = 1.5 millions.
watta article john… nice job!!!
Demanding…
1) Random blood testing then…
2) $100 millions then…
3) Only on May 5 then…
4) Only at MGM Arena then…
5) Only Joe Cortez to be the referee then…
6) Only 70:30 purse split…
Floyd’s fans just DON’T see the smoke behind the black curtains. Open your eyes!
BOTTOM LINE: SCARED, TOO SCARED. PERIOD.
Pacquiao vs Margarito PPV 1.15 million not 1.5
@polo … learn about how the boxing business work.
Look at the Manny vs Mosley fight:
Mosley’s official purse on the Nevada contract is $3.950 million, although he is guaranteed $5 million
Pacquiao’s official purse is $6 million on the Nevada contract but he is guaranteed $20 million from by Top Rank because of PPV.
The purse is from the promoter pocket … the rest is from PPV .. if the PPV revenues are short, then promoter covers the rest.
Floyd basically S U C K E R E D Golden Boy more out of pocket money.
THE FIGHT WILL NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE FLOYD IS AFRAID OF MANNY.
@polo,
Go and read the article again. The writer says, “In the same three fights Pacquiao sold out the venues, while Mayweather’s last three fights were not sold out.”
Also, “Pacquiao’s last three fights have drawn 3.86 million PPV buys, while Mayweather’s last three fights have pulled in 3.65 million PPV buys.”
BOTTOM LINE: 50:50 SPLIT WITH PAC DROPS OFF THE LAWSUIT WOULD BE THE FAIREST THING FOR BOTH PARTIES.
It doesn’t matter who gets the most PPV buys, the fight will never happen without an even split.
@Akway,
Don’t blame the writer. He puts all the FACTS TOGETHER, and facts are facts. I think you are the one who is stupid, not him.
@PAC…. To recheck ur numbers floyds fights are 5 to 10 dollers more per ppv then mannys and he has destroyed manny at the gate for every fight except the last one. Reality and perception two different things. And remember floyd gets 50 percent or more of gate and ppv.
Folks,
Floyd’s plan is to apply the purse split of 70:30 split as a last resort to halt or kill the fight. Floyd knew that as popular as Manny Pacquiao he will NOT accept the 30% share.
@boxingdawg. Whatur saying makes no sence. If portion of ur money is covered by ppv and gate its not a gurantee because u don’t know what its gona sale. Like the clottey fight that the entire evden mad less then 50 million. Yt garunteed purse is that Whar u are payed up front arum said manny is garunteed 22 million then h gets portion ofppv. Hour made 7 million for his last purse and we have no idea what portion of ppv he gets and with vision quest we know henot getting what he is suppose to from ppv sales. Spin it any way u want manny don’t make floyd mayweathwr money.
what tha stupid writer…don’t write about something you don’t even know dummy
Lol!!!
Nice article by John F. Arum, aka McCrack!
Keep dreaming!
What is boxing purse?
The purse is money paid to two professional boxers for engaging in a fight. The amount of the purse is contractually guaranteed prior to the fight and is not altered by the outcome of the fight. Promoters pay the boxers the purse and out of the purse a boxer pays his cornermen (manager, trainer and cutman) a percentage
The purse is the amount of money the PROMOTER will pay the fighters.
So Floyd has su ck ered Golden Boy to pay the larger purse out his pocket…hoping the revenues will cover the payout.
With Manny, Arum payouts a smaller amount and the rest of Manny’s guarantee money will be cover first by PPV and Gate Tickets.
Based on Manny’s much higher PPV Draws, live gate attendance and his popularity, he deserves the bigger piece of the pie.
Its a little misleading arguement because when they fought the same fighters (Mosley, Hatton, Oscar) Floyd outsold Manny in each of the fights. The Marquez is different because its a rivalry trilogy fight. Floyd still sold 1.25 against a relatively unknown fighter in Ortiz. They both sell well which is why 50/50 if fair
Only floyd fans can be fooled by floyd. Smart people like you and me cannot be fooled by floyd’s mouthpiece.
Mr. McKenna,
Good analysis. Your numbers of facts tell it all. Thanks.
And when I say good story, I’m saying FICTIONAL. You are using Top Rank unofficial numbers. Cant build a sound story on shaky facts.
Good story Jack. Floyd still beats Pacquiao 97% of the time. Arum can fool the general public, but he can’t fool real fans.
Fight Hype is talking about the promoters/venue share not the guarantee.
————
Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez III pay-per-view, from the Nevada commission.
Manny Pacquiao $22,000,000
Juan Manuel Marquez $5,000,000
@jabs… Manny has yet to make 8 million dollers in a fight. Fighthype.com has floyd and manny purse records from nevada commision for last 4 or five years. Floyd has made more in last two fights then manny has his entire carear.
@Mario he better care u need money to become president and remember he will be going up vs billionares in his country. Check out fight hype to see what manny realy gets paid per fight.
Pacquaio has to fight twice a year to equai what Mayweather make in 1 fight, and on top of all that, his last three fight are not even the official numbers. Margarito doing 1.5 is a flat out lie. Pacquiao is barely making 7 million a fight and he turns down 40 million sounds like he doesn’t want to fight. What Pacquiao needs to realize is that Floyd puts up his guaranteed money which is around 25 million, why would I share money with you and you’re not putting up any guaranteed money, Arum is doing that for you. That there alone should tell people that he doesn’t know anything about the business side which is why he can’t make the money Mayweather makes
i bet manny doesnt even care about the megafight hes already accomplished pretty much everything n he dream to become president so i doubt he cares if he wins or loses to floyd meanwhile floyd has built his image around his undefeated record so winnin means everythin for him
@jose. Perception and reality different things no ofifial numbers released for margarito mosley or marquez fights. Floyd hold top six spots. Check out fight hype .com they have mannys true purse numbers from the nevada comission and its public record so u can request an get it urself I u don’t believe.
Manny needs to get 60% and Mayweather the 40%. Manny has been the PPV king and Mayweather needs to wake up. Maybe some time in jail will help him to think about it! The only reason people buy Mayweather’s fights is to see him get knocked out.
@dumb. That’s the issue. Floyd camp knows what those fights did. And fact that floyd hold grossing record for the top six non heavy weight bouts of all time tells u something. And remember mannys ppvs are 5 to 10 dollers cheeper then floyds and his gate tickets are cheeper as well.
First of all floyds fights have been 5 dollers or more then mannys ppv so even with the numbers arum gives floyds fights have generated way more money then mannys. Floyd has the top six highest grossing ppv events non heavyweight of all time. Arum has yet to release official numbers for his fights. And u want to know what manny really is making per fight. Fight hype.com has official purse transcripts for mannys and floyds fights. Its public record so u cn actully request and get it urself. Then u will see why floyd wants more.
pac does deserve 50-50 no question. Official ppv numbers for pacman are never realeased though. But i do believe he does over a mil for each fight. They should split 50-50
If you want to do a true comparison, it should be among common opponents, Hatton, Delahoya, Mosley, and Marquez. But at the end of the day, who cares, just fight. It was Pacquiao who said he would take less to make the fight happen. If he was not serious, he should have kept his mouth shut.
I was thinking the same thing Bryan D, Top rank is the shadiest company (in general) but especially with the total PPV sales.
Nice one!
Oh and of course Pac has more power outside of the ring. He pretty much runs the Philipines. But as for in the ring popularity and money making he fails in comparison. But he is a political figure in his own country.
First off Top Rank doesn’t put out Pacs numbers and I would like to see your sources. Its been said that they don’t do as big of numbers that people think. And your numbers are off on the PBF vs Marquez fight. And how much has Pac made compared to PBF. PBF makes 30-40 million a fight and Pac makes about 7 million. So now they must split 100 million between the two. You can’t compare Victor Ortiz to Marquez and that history.
