We are less than two weeks away from
the most anticipated fight in recent
boxing history when Floyd Mayweather
finally takes on Manny Pacquiao at the
MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Details about how much the two fighters
will make and where the money will
come from are starting to emerge, and the
amounts are staggering.
At the end of the day, both boxers are
expected to make "well over $100 million"
regardless of who wins, according to John
Branch of the New York Times . The
payouts would be more than twice as
much as any other payday in boxing
history.
Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter,
confirmed that Mayweather's down
payment before the fight alone will be $50
million and Leonard Ellerbe, chief
executive of Mayweather Promotions,
would only say that Mayweather's check
will be "a lot more than $50 million."
Branch took a closer look at the numbers
and says that once all the revenue is
added up, the two fighters could split
"around $300 million" for the 12-round
fight.
Here are the biggest sources of revenue
for the fight:
Pay-per-view — Branch estimates
pay-per-view sales will generate $270
million in revenue alone based on
purchases in 3 million homes.
However, some believe sales could
reach 4 million homes, which would
push this portion of the revenue up to
$360 million. Of that, 55-65% will go
to the fighters or ~$150-233 million
with the rest going to cable
companies and satellite providers
(30-40%) and HBO/Showtime (7.5%).
Ticket sales — Gate receipts at the
MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas will
generate ~$72 million thanks to
tickets ranging in price from $1,500 to
$7,500 .
International broadcast sales — "At
least" $35 million.
Closed-circuit broadcasts at bars —
$13 million.
Sponsorships − $12 million.
Merchandise sales — $1 million
Of most of the revenue going to the
boxers, 60% will go to Mayweather with
Pacquiao taking the other 40%. However,
according to Arum, one $20 million slice
of the pie (revenue between $160 and
$180 million) will be split depending on
who wins the fight, with the winner
taking $10.2 million and the loser
receiving the other $9.8 million.
Not a bad payday for what will likely be
amount to about one hour in the ring.
