Report: Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Agree To $250M Las Vegas Fight

[Casinorep]

I still hold my reservation until it is confirmed. But for us boxing fans, there is hope:

Amazed that promoters can make money after paying $250m out.

I guess the hype machine will sell PPV signups? But 100m+ of them at $24.99?
Really?

it doesn't work like that, it works on what revenue it generates

[universal4]

The Pacquino wiki says this

The fight generated 1.25 million buys and $70 million in domestic pay-per-view revenue, making it the most watched boxing event of 2009

This article claims this fight will be $65 to $75 each

Still, charging $65 and $75 for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather still has fight consumers upset.

If they sell same number of views as 2009, at $70 each, they will generate half of their costs.

Think your maths is a bit off

[TheGooner]

Yes - added a decimal place - 10 million only at 24.99 - or 3 million at $75.

I have read a few articles that stated Mayweather has not yet signed off on the deal just yet.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/pacquia...0034--box.html

When there is 250 million at stake my guess is they will likely come to some sort of agreement, but what bugs me is that we keep seeing how much the deal is worth, but so far I have NOT seen how much each fighter will get.

Is either one of them being offered more than the other?

Is the fact that the agreement has not been signed due to one of them not agreeing to fight for an amount they feel is unfair due to the total package being worth 250 million?

Inquiring minds and all that....

Supposedly it will be a 60/40 purse split, with Mayweather getting the lion share.

[p.arena]

I wonder if they will have a rematch clause included if Mayweather loses the fight. Maybe they'll end up fighting 2-3x in total with that much money on the table.

To Pacquiao and Mayweather, how about just make the fight happen? Then talk about this issue after the fight! whew! hahaha sorry I just can't wait for this to happen.

[universal4]

I saw another article today that it might be back on again, one of them arranged for the drug test ....lol

On again off again....on again off again....

....hmmmm it seems they want us to keep talking about it.....

It appears someone musta studied the little green bar method of marketing hype BS....LOL

I agree, drop the hype and make it happen already....

Better late than never. MGM Grand hotel rooms must be thru the roof that weekend. Nothing like a big prize fight night in Vegas. Can't wait.
