morales,

still crying over cotto's humiliating ass whipping he took from margarito?

not at all, just pointing out how much of a joke you are , and the "loss" Cotto had against Margarito was noooowhere as humiliating as Margarito's losses to Mosley and Pacquiao hahahahaha, damn those were borderline attempted murder , i'll say it right now Margarito will NEVER win a world title again hahaha must break your tiny little fan boy heart

Very good numbers, what money did the fighters get for this fight?

Pac got a guarantee 15 mil with Margarito a guarantee 3 mil, if I'm not mistaken. With a percentage of the ppv buys that each fighter gets Pac is looking at pocketing another 10 mil, while Margarito could get another 5 mil.

Pac got 15M Gurantee plus 10M from PPV = $25M


Marg got 3M gurantee plus 4M from PPV = $7M

Try it like this:

Assume the given Pac's Guarantee is $15 Mil. and Marga's Guarantee is $3 Mil.

15+3=18 where 18 is 100%: 3/18= 16.67% 15/18= 83.33% ; 16.67+83.33=100

$54.95 * 1.15 Million =~$63 Million / 2 = $31.5 Million, assuming half the revenue is the purse split which goes to the fighters.

Pacquiao = $26.25 Million
Margarito = $ 5.25 Million

This does not include live gate sales. Who knows what that number actually is. Even with 41,000 tickets sold it won't surpass the high prices at the MGM Grand where they do between $16-20 Mil. It will come in at less than $13-16 Mil depending on which seats were actually sold.

I based this on previous PPV fight revenue splits published. If Pacquiao and Margarito have their guarantee's deducted from the revenue split then they are getting a poor deal from the Promoter's by comparison to what Dela Hoya's revenue splits were.

According Fan Johnny's calculation, plus the Clottey fight. Pac already made close to $40M this year.

lol...i knew the pactards would come on in droves like a bunch of ants. the facts are these, mayweather is a bigger PPV star than pacquiao, and you pactards can't seem to handle this fact. and to the pactard who said there were more fans at pacquiao/clottey than pacquiao/margarito. well, let's see here, if you combine the attendance/PPV numbers, pacquiao/margarito dwarfs pacquiao/clottey. simple math. so go ahead pactards, do your little huffing and puffing cause i wrote these comments. somebody has the tell the truth on these boards and it might as well be me because it seems everybody's on board as a pactardo.

Your parents did a real good on you. They should win the Nobel prize.

generalbulldog,

look my son, if EVERYBODY on this forum agreed that pacquiao was the GOAT and thinks nobody can touch him, this forum would get pretty boring, don't you think? well, i'm sorry to burst your bubble but although i believe pacquiao has done great things in the ring, there are still many questions about him that need to be answered.

it's good to have opposing views. it's the democratic way in that people are different and might have different views than others. say what you will about bernard hopkins, but he's just saying the truth that pacquiao continues to avoid fast, young, in their prime fighters. it's not a coincidence that marquez took the anointed one to hell and back. it's not a coincidence that he's been asking for catchweights from bigger fighters!

my thing is this, if you want to play with fire, you'd better be prepared to play by the rules and not come in with some sort of advantage just because your smaller. pacquiao wanted these fights he should have played by the rules. if he couldn't do that, he should have stayed at a lower division.

the truth hurts doesn't it?

If the opponent agreed to the weight, then it his problem, not yours. You make it your problem only when you are bitter

morales,

i'll tell you what's more humiliating, is when fighters take a knee in surrender. in other words, "i give up, don't hurt me anymore". yes, margarito took a good ass whipping but at least he didn't quit. he took an ass whipping like a man unlike cotto and calderon who took knees to avoid getting more "hurt"! and the thing is, both these clowns were the defending champions and to go out like that is cowardice galore!

That is definitely not what the great Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. preaches.

This is why a university education is important kids. You might wind up like this guy.

Umm, if you are working out how many were at Pac/Clottey vs Pac/Marg, you cannot combine the PPV numbers,,,, because none of the PPV buyers were AT the fights... simple math....


Anyway, regardless, if the philipines could afford PPV and had the same sort of market as Mexico, that country would have a million PPV's on it's own...

And it also doesn't take an Einstein to see why Pac vs Clottey a completely unknown fighter outsideboxing circles, did less than Pac vs Margarito who has had an incredible amount of drama surrounding him, plus was at the top of the sport for a short while, and yes as you mention PLUUUUSSSS he is mexican....


I havn't really seen many people at all say that Pac is a bigger PPV draw than Mayweather.... So you're argueing with yourself on that one... People generally don't argue against your main point.. They argue with the nonsense you speak to support your point....

But regardless, Mayweather is easily a bigger PPV draw than Pac..... Always has been.. Maybe because everyone wants so desperately to see him get his ass beat, maybe because a lot of people appreciate his skill..... who knows, but he is good enough to deserve what buys he gets.... And when he fights Pac, I would be surprised if it didn't sell more PPV buys than PBF vs DLH.....

But what was no surprise though,, was seeing a thread about Pac's PPV buys,,,,, a completely un flamatory thread,,, and finding you in here bagging Pac...

No i'm not a Pac nuthugger defending my beloved fighter... I'm a intermediary calling attention to your perhaps complete unawareness of your love for talking about Pac at every opportunity...

did you forget that your boy Rafa Marquez just turned away and said "No Mas" against Lopez? so what are you going on about?

[ono]

this only proves one thing, that without mexican fighters, pacquiao is NOT that big of PPV star his fans try to make him out to be. when he fought joshua clottey, what were the PPV numbers? 7-800,000? a mayweather/margarito PPV event would have reached about 1.5 million or more. facts are facts!

You can't have the word 'about' in the same sentence as the word 'fact'. It loses it's meaning.

He's going on about the facts man. God, keep up.
