robinson, ali, leonard, tyson all boxers who would make around 6-10 million ppv buys, considering that it looks mayweather-pacquiao did 5,6.

for example, lets take the biggest match up possible with today media standard, tyson-ali, lets say they make each 500 million.

from those 500, how much goes too % wise?

tax 33 %
mgm
networks (hbo/shw)
promoter
manager

I'd like to know those percentages but I doubt we ever get the whole truth

i expect nobody to list the real percentages, but i guess is enough for me.

i'll go first.

mgm-5 %
networks (hbo/shw)-30 %
promoter-15 %
manager-10 %

so from 500 million, take away 50 %, maybe even more, around 60-70, but who says you need somebody like haymon who basicly takes all your money , but showtime and hbo for sure take a big %.

so, tyson and ali would have made 200-250 after all, than come taxes , which is like 30 % or how much ?

Based on what I've read... For the PPV only.


About 35% is going to the cable/satellite companies. Apparently HBO/Showtime are splitting 7.5%.

That leaves roughly 58% going to the fighters. The belief is that Mayweather gets 60% of that remaining portion.

So Mayweather is getting about 35% of the PPV share, with Pacquiao about 23%.

Do the fighters get taxed before or after the manager, trainer, etc.. take their cuts?

Fighters are taxed after the costs are paid out.

i remember ferg, you realy put out good percentages for cutman trainer etc.

do you know ~ how much show and hbo took from the ppv money for the big one for example.

HBO/Showtime are NETWORKS not PROVIDERS (Verizon, Comcast, DirectTV, ETC)

Federal tax on that is 40%. Another 15% self employment tax. No Nevada state tax.

mgm (venue)
promoter/manager

i have a feeling not much goes to the boxer after so many cutings % wise

so, its basicly a joke that floyd is the best paid athletes in the world, when he gives pretty much everything away!!

i mean aside from tax and manager, i guess tiger woods didnt have to give up prety much everything to providers and networks, well, he earned money with being a commercial figure to big companys.

but from his 100 mill he made a year with commercials, i guess only 33 % got taking from tax, aside from that he prety much got his ~65 mill.
but floyd he made around 200 for 1 fight and basicly after tax 33 %, provider 30 % and network ?, venue mgm ? haymon and ellerbe, there isnt much left, maybe 40, or am i wrong?

but these forbes highest paid athtletes list would than be totaly inacurate, as floyd being the highest paid athlete overall, when basicly around 80 % of his money is taking away from him.

So after tax assuming Floyd gets $180 Million he is only taking home about 80-50 Million? Poor guy
