PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
link --> PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Rumor has it that returning pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. is getting a whopping $15 million when he steps into the ring to face WBA & WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18. After seventeen months in retirement, that's not too shabby for a fighter making his return during these tough economic times. In fact, that's $3 million more than the guaranteed $12 million that Manny Pacquiao received for the six minutes he tussled with Hatton on May 2.
In 2007, Floyd Mayweather Jr. earned over $50 million in purses after participating in the two biggest pay-per-view boxing fights of the year. While most of that money was earned in his record-setting clash with Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather's last bout in particular, on December 8, 2007 against Ricky Hatton, also reportedly earned him upwards of $20 million in a matchup between two undefeated fighters. Now he makes his return to the ring against Marquez (50-4-1, 37KOs), who fought Pacquiao to a draw in their first fight and lost a razor-thin controversial split decision to him in the rematch. In both of those bouts, Pacquiao dropped Marquez a total of four times. Marquez's last fight took place at 135 lbs. On July 18, he'll meet the naturally bigger Mayweather at a catchweight of 144 lbs.
Mayweather's father, world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., believes that Marquez will be an easy night of work for his son. "Marquez ain't nothing but a tune-up; somebody to pick apart like target practice," he revealed in a recent interview with FightHype. Mayweather Jr. would echo those sentiments. "They are both too small for me. I'll beat both of them," he could be heard shouting during another interview with FightHype. It must be nice to make millions for an easy night of work. Aw yes...it's good to be the king.
And how much they give to JMM, $1 million??

I would love Mayweather to get TKoed against JMM but my mind says, Yes, Mayweather does not deserve the money he's getting.
If JMM wins against Mayweather, he will be P4P king for me.:cool:

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Ok so Mayweather gets easy fight...so most people think...
easy way back to stardom
easy way back to p4p kingship
and easy money? WTF?!:mad::mad::mad:

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Spanish newspaper has Marquez making 5 million. Which sounds about right. I'm still looking for another confirmation
-
Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
He draws the money, why shouldn't he be making it? He made what 8 million against Baldomir? This fight is going to be way bigger than that. Marquez will be making a shit load as well don't you worry.
Besides since when is fighting the p4p #2 considered taking an easy fight?

The fight is much harder for Marquez than it is for Mayweather.

There must be a retard gene that runs through the Mayweather family.
Floyd getting all excited about the prospect of fighting smaller men...as usual. What a wanker!! :rolleyes:

Anything is possible but I'll believe it when I see something other than a rumor from a credible source. (Probably started by Mayweather's people. If true, I'll bet it's not guaranteed, and probably contingent on PPV buys which is expected to sell in the 300K range ~$15 million in Total Sales. The numbers don't add up. This will be a yawner anyway and I certainly won't buy it. Not only that instead Mayweather's people of hyping up the fight, it's being called a tuneup. Not all that smart!

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Floyd needs it. He throws more 100 dollar bills at the camera then any other fighter I know of. That shit adds up.

Ha ha ;D Hyping the fight as a tuneup... ;D Good call...
Mayweather's father, world-class trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr., believes that Marquez will be an easy night of work for his son. "Marquez ain't nothing but a tune-up; somebody to pick apart like target practice,"
Me too considered this fight a tuneup for several reasons; 1) PBF 1st fight after a long layoff/retirement 2) PBF is heavy favorite (4 to 1) and expected to win this fight 3) The bigger, taller, younger PBF has all the advantages against the smaller JMM ...
But I'm uneasy having the same opinion with Fraud Sr. in thinking this fight as a tuneup...:mad:

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Saddoboxer,
So if you keep saying that JMM is pretty much a stepping stone, no threat at all, and so on, then, does this mean that a so called "tune-up fighter" gave Pac two questionable decisions?

Yes, Saddoboxer can't think too much of Manny Pac if he regards JMM as a tune up for Floyd. :-\

I considered it a tune-up because of the factors I've mentioned earlier and the styles match-up... They have basically the same style and PBF is just the better, bigger and stronger version of JMM... A bigger excellent boxer, most of the time beats the smaller excellent boxer...

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Yes Miles. If he regards JMM as a stepping stone then what does that make of Pac?

So if PBF will pretty much step on JMM, does that mean he will also step on Pac?:rolleyes: I will be surprised if you say that Pac CAN LOOSE vs Mayweather. For you, is there such thing as Pac loosing?

Styles makes fights...
I'm guessing PAC vs. PBF will be even on betting odds unlike here where PBF is a 4 to 1 heavy favorite...

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
If Floyd wins easy in July there's no way in hell Mayweather-Pacquiao get's to even odds. Floyd will probably end up at greater than a 2-1 favorite. Oddsmakers will not be influenced by Manny's wins over fighters who fight nothing like Floyd.

OK let's see...
PBF UD12 JMM (??)
PAC SD12 JMM
PAC KO2 Hatton
PBF TKO10 Hatton
PAC RTD8 Hoya
PBF SD12 Hoya
Looking at the above results, PAC even looked like the betting favorite... So I think 50/50 odds is it considering all other factors...

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Not a chance in hell Pac starts favourite over Floyd. You can bet on that. ;)

I'm guessing an even 50/50 starting odds ... unless PBF KOs JMM in the 1st round which is very unlikely...;)
.
-
Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
Floyd has ALREADY been priced up as favourite, with some bookies, before beating Marquez.
Floyd - 4/6
Pac - 6/5
When Floyd beats Marquez his odds will shorten ;)

Re: PBF getting $15 million for JMM fight??
You're forgetting that PBF KO'd the Big Show.

That is a very pertinent observation. It was 50:50 but this makes Floyd the favourite IMO and the bookies should reflect this. Furthermore Fenster talks only in facts so I'm inclined to believe him too. ;D

Yes they have little differences. I don't know the vegas odds but they wont have differences after Floyd beats Marquez, they will both have Floyd a stronger favourite. Trust me. ;)

It all depends on how Floyd beats JMM on fight night and that will determine the odds for the Pac fight. If he knocks him out or boxes him to a wide unanimous decision then he would be a heavy favorite. But if he struggles like Pac did against JMM then PBF could be a 2 to 1 favorite or even when they fight.

Ohhh I don't know.. When the fighters are about 3 weight divisions apart!!! Looks like PBF is taking the easy way out again. Old slower fighters, smaller fighters, overmatched fighters, all are welcome to the ring against Floyd!

not neccesarily
floyds beating world class opposition before without looking truly unstopable.
The key to beating mayweather is to not chase him down or attempt to fight him on the back foot but punch and move and try and rough him up on the inside whenever possible.
If floyd labours to a decision over marq in a scrappy contest id still mantain my opinion that pacs speed wont be as big an issue for floyd as it has been for everyone else and floyd wins a tactical contest between the 2 everyday of the week!!

Honestly I don't think it is PBF drawing the crowds in and drawing in the money. It was his opponents, Oscar and Ricky, drawing people in to PBF's fights with them. To watch Floyd against a run of the mill lightweight instead of Marquez, he wouldn't draw flies to shit.

Call me when Manny cracks the million PPV view mark when a guy named DLH or Hatton isn't on the bill with him as well.

300K is considered a big success in PPV numbers. There is always going to be a competitive opponent to make an argument about who is the draw. No one really knows what it is that makes the draw a mega draw, its only the current buzz along with marketing research that gives promoters an idea if the fight will be big or not. They get it wrong all the time. It's almost exactly like predicting if a movie is going to be a blockbuster. Obviously there some fights that are a no brainier.
Paquiao is the prevailing bandwagon. With each dramatic win he gains more fans, spectators and the like. Weather you like him or not he is boxing current poster child. If you can't see that, you're an idiot! or a simply a Pacquiao hater...

I think to draw him in to a fight they are paying him this much. I see this fight as a reward to a great fighter JMM. this is his chance, i hope he seize it. I know floyd is thinking oh easy fight for this much money, i think his in for a rude awakening. almost like how ricky hatton found out may 2nd. I know right it sounds crazy but this smaller fighters are greater fighters imo.
i seriously hope jmm shocks the world this july!

Manny Pacquiao PPV History
1. De La Hoya - 1.25 million buys
2. Morales 1 - 350,000 buys
3. Morales 2 - 360,000 buys
4. Morales 3 - 350,000 buys
5. Barrera 2 - 350,000 buys
6. Marquez 2 - 400,000 buys
7. Diaz - 200,000 buys
8. Hatton - Expected ???? 1.6 - 2 million reported (I doubt it. Most likely less than 1 Million in the US & it should easily be over 1 million with UK numbers. If the numbers are less I suspect we will never see it published because Arum already opened his mouth)
Total = ~4 million +
Floyd Mayweather PPV History
1. Zab Judah - 375,000 Buys
2 Carlos Baldomir - 325,000 Buys
3. Ricky Hatton - 850,000 Buys
4. Oscar De La Hoya - 2.15 million Buys
5. Arturo Gatti - 340,000 Buys
6. Juan Manuel Marquez - ???? expected 300K+ no one knows.
Total = ~4 Million +
I don't think anyone really knows what Mayweather Jr's real earning are. He likes to think he is all that and more. Believe what you want dude! I'd say the two are pretty even to date. As to who's the bigger draw.... I don't know... but I can tell you that it's logical for the numbers to go down and down with more free live streams being broadcast over the Internet. Something no one is mentioning.

It's not a weight drained Oscar he's facing after all.
I will be cheering Marquez on as I like to do with the underdog in a big fight. But if Mayweather is sharp then it might be a tough night. I hope he can surprise me!
