  • Mayweather Guaranteed Purse: $120 million
  • Manny Pacquiao Guaranteed Purse: $80 million

This fight is expected to generate easily more than $300 million in total revenue (might reach $400 million) from ticket sales plus Pay per view revenue and Floyd Mayweather has the purse 60/40 in his favour which means he is inline to make around $120 million guaranteed from this fight while Manny Pacquiao is expected to make around $80 million guaranteed but the actual earnings of both fighters are expected to reach $180 million and $120 million respectively after PPV sales share has been sorted.

First guaranteed down payment: 

Pacquiao and Mayweather will get a $50 million check each the following morning of the fight as the first installment of the total purse. While rest of the purse will come in couple more installments after the PPV sales are counted.

Projected Pay-per-view Sales Revenue – $300 million:

Here is how PPV revenue is expected to be shared between fighters, cable companies and HBO & Showtime.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao PPV revenue share

As the things stand there has been a massive interest in PPV sales which cost around $89.95 per sale and experts believe that this fight will do minimum of 3 million PPV buys and thats almost 500,000 more compared to previous record set by Mayweather-De La Hoya. With 3 million PPV sales the revenue from this stream will reach $270 million, Bob Arum and many expert believes that the PPV sales might reach 4 million and that will take the revenue from PPV sales to a massive $360 million.

  1. 55% of PPV revenue going to fighters
  2. 36.5% going to cable & Satellite companies
  3. 7.5% going to HBO and Showtime

[ So if PPV sales hit 3 million mark from the $270 million ppv revenue, fighters will receive $140 million while rest going to cable companies and a small portion of HBO an Showtime ]

Ticket Sales & Other Sources – $133 million

This is how the total revenue from the fight is expected, PPV plus other souces which include gate receipt, International broadcasting rights etc.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao total revenue

Ticket for this fight are a gold commodity, hard to come by because MGM Grand has the capacity of only 16,800. But even with such small capacity the fight is expected to generate $72 million in gate receipts thanks to massively inflated ticket prices. Only 1000 tickets were made available to general public which were sold out in 60 seconds according to recent reports so the majority of the tickets are going to high rollers of MGM with credit line of over 250,000 with the casino while some tickets are available in black market which are priced at anywhere from 30,000 to 120,000 or even 200,000 for ring side tickets.

SkySports in United kingdom paid $20million to secure the rights of broadcasting in UK while many other channels around the world paid in millions to get the rights for the fight. Total from international broadcasting rights are are expected to be around $35 million to $40million

Than there are other sources like close circuit screening of the fight in Las Vegas and many other cities in United States and that is expected to generate around $10 million

So if Mayweather-Pacquiao hit 4 million ppv mark they will easily be taking home $180 million (Mayweather) and $120 million (Manny Pacquiao). Which will make them the top 2 highest paid athletes in 2015 which goes to show the magnitude of this fight.
