I think the other point in the article is that Floyd's $15M GUARANTEED purse is all hogwash.

Being the lead promoter (Mayweather promotions), he gave it to himself as a publicity stunt, to show the world that he commands more $$$ than Pac and Hatton who only got $12M guaranteed purse in their last fight. He was probably thinking of making it as a negotiation leverage in case he and Pac fights in the future.

Apparently, the $15M guaranteed purse is a fraud.
