Interesting article on how much mayweather has earned compared to Pac

[Manos de Piedra]

Floyd got 22.5 mill to fight Mosley and Pacquiao got 6 mill. Both Pac and Floyd are big names but why such a big difference?

<br />
<br />
Because fighters get paid in different ways. There's the purse, and then there are PPV revenues streams.

Pacquiao gets a small purse, and gets the majority of his earnings from the PPV money. It's for tax purposes.

Both Floyd and Manny are making 20+ million everytime they fight. It's just divided up in different ways.

Floyd would still make more money because they sell roughly the same amount of PPVs, unless Pacquiao's PPVs cost more in the US.
Uncle Bob is up to something.
