$300 Million ?

"Mayweather and Pacquiao who have agreed to a 60-40 split could be laughing all the way to the bank after the 'Fight of the Century'.

Arum is predicting a "$300 million distribution" which mean Mayweather will get $180m and Pacquiao $120m, up from the earlier projections of a $200 million Super Fight.

"We are looking at four to five million (PPV) buys," says Arum."

The 60-40 split has a small wrinkle, Arum said. For revenue between $160 million and $180 million, the winner of the fight will get 51 percent ($10.2 million), Arum said, with the loser taking 49 percent ($9.8 million).

Revenue below and above that window will be divided, 60-40, in Mayweather’s favor, Arum said. Ellerbe would not confirm or deny the breakdown, citing confidentiality.

Those first 160-180 numbers don't make much sence. As they highlight a 10.2 and 9.8 million dollar split for winner Vs loser. Who the hell is getting the bulk of that money? Maybe they missed a "0"
