PPV numbers for Mcgregor's last fight were somewhere between 1.5-1.7 million.
Mayweather's last fight: between 400-500k.

Boxing match money mayweather wins

Mma fight Connor wins

If they fight there is a 0% chance it's an MMA fight

I haven't followed this much other than hearing that Floyd is willing to fight him and agrees to a big pay day for both. Does Floyd agree to fight MMA or just boxing? I can't imagine him agreeing to MMA

Of course and it should be boxing not mma

Money has made the more cash of the two.

Conor's the bigger draw here, not Floyd


conor is what makes this fight appealing. floyd is historically the bigger draw, but nobody really wants to watch floyd dance around the ring with another boxer. The pacqiao fight turned off alot of people.

although him fighting conor would be a complete mismatch, it's what more people want to see.

people want to see floyd get fricked up and thats it. if it was a mma fight it would sell twice as many ppv's than a boxing fight.

This whole thing is retarded if its a boxing match.


That's the only thing Floyd can compete in. Anything other than boxing and Floyd would get slaughtered. Though a MMA fight would make it much more interesting. I'm sure there is a huge pool willing to pay PPV money to see Floyd get his head kicked off.

What was the split for Thunderlips vs Rocky? That's the model they should be basing this fight on

Pac Man will get a rematch before Floyd fights CM. More hot air.

Floyd 35mm
CM 15mm

Plus ppv splits. Hard seeing both parties turning that down.

But as far as splitting the 50M, winner gets 30, loser gets 20.

Nah, that's some BS. Let's make it a real fight. Winner takes all.
