Quote:Good lord, reading this makes me rethink buying it.  I mean, I figured thats how the fight would be....but reading it and putting it in perspective sucks.

 

Can you imagine how much cash Mayweather is going to make off this?!

Sorry man, I'm just telling you what you already knew. Still though most people will watch because its the biggest fight in years and everybody wants to see Mayweather possibly lose. That's why any of Mayweather's fights have made money lately. You think people have really been watching to see Mayweather coast for 12 rounds to decisions?

 

BTW, Dan Rafael of ESPN has this to say about the money:

 

"How much will each man make?

That is not clear exactly because so much of what they will earn will come from what the pay-per-view sells. The more it sells, the more they make. But ballpark, you're looking at Mayweather making well in excess of $100 million and Pacquiao making a bit less. Remember, about half the gross revenue generated by the pay-per-view goes to the cable and satellite providers. Millions more will go to cover expenses and to pay promoters, managers and HBO and Showtime."
