So I'd be amazed if even half the gross number makes it back to the promotion, and by the time you pay the costs of the promotion, Floyd's opponent, undercard and so on that makes a dent. Then you've got the split between Golden Boy, who run the promotion, and Mayweather Promotions, which is basically Floyd employee Leonard Ellerbe and a fax machine.
How much do you think is the Net value before taxes?
What Floyd makes before taxes? No idea honestly. You've got to factor Al Haymon into it at that point. I can't see Haymon and Golden Boy working for chump change especially when they bailed Floyd out when he was being chased by the IRS.
