Mayweather's contract, filed on Friday afternoon with the Nevada State Athletic Commission, calls for him to earn a record-tying guarantee of $32 million for his world welterweight fight against Robert Guerrero on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The $32 million figure is on Mayweather's bout agreement and is the amount he will be paid immediately after the fight, according to NSAC executive director Keith Kizer. According to Kizer, the previous largest guarantee in Nevada -- where most of the biggest money fights have taken place -- was the $30 million Mike Tyson was guaranteed for the infamous ear-bite heavyweight championship rematch with Evander Holyfield in 1997. "I think when you see a total like that it speaks for itself," Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer, whose company will pay Mayweather, told ESPN.com. "He has established clearly that level of $32 million as a guarantee and remember: He will make much more after everything is counted because he keeps 90 percent of the profit from the event. The $32 million is just the contract minimum. The bulk of everything else goes to him." Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) will earn a career-high $3 million, plus a share of the pay-per-view profits. The purses for the other televised bouts are $375,000 apiece for featherweight titlist Daniel Ponce De Leon (44-4, 35 KOs) and challenger Abner Mares (25-0-1, 13 KOs); junior featherweight Leo Santa Cruz (23-0-1, 13 KOs), who vacated his bantamweight world title to move up in weight, will earn $165,000, while opponent Alexander Munoz (36-4, 28 KOs) will make $25,000; and middleweight J'Leon Love (15-0, 8 KOs) will make $100,000 and his opponent, Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs), will earn $60,000.
No way. It would need to sell major buys for him to get 9 figures. Not that much interest ticket wise. Maybe 50 for him
agREED... But Floyd is Into the PERCEPTION of "Money", so this Latest "Release" is More than Likely MANUFACTURED, as the WWE Release was, Crediting Floyd w/Making "$25 Million" to Face Big Show... REED:boohoo:
It's sad that a fighter would rather be known for the money he's made then the fighters he's beaten. TFK
If he's getting 90% of profits in total (gate, ppv revenue, merchandise sold, beverages/snacks sold, etc), that's adding onto the guaranteed $32 million, so then you have to get a rough estimate of all the money generated at the event (easily over 1 million ppv buys, sold out arena and other stuff), and add it to his $32 million and he'll walk away with probably double that. I wasn't a Mayweather fan but I got to love the man for being so brilliant as a businessman! :bears: :bears: Imagine if all these other boxers had understood how to get their fair share instead of being milked by the likes of King and Arum.
So he gets a flat rate of 32 Million per fight..OKAY....plus he also keeps 90% of profit from the event.... if he is going to bullshit at least make it realistic...like when he fought The Big Show for 20-25 million
You Think he'll Get a Mexican Flag Patterned MOTHERFUCKIN' FLIP PHONE or Some Other Color/Pattern MOTHERFUCKIN' FLIP PHONE???.... REED:scratcher:
Brother REED, I have it on good authority that Guerrero is getting a MOTHERFUCKIN FLIP PHONE with "La Cucaracha" as the ringtone
