Does Floyd Mayweather Jr has more earnings than Manny Pacquiao?

Answer 1

Mayweather by far:

First of all, Manny is known for having one of the worst contracts in boxing, where management takes ~27% of his earnings. Mayweather is known for keeping ~100% of his earnings. So not only does Mayweather earn a lot more, he actually keeps it while Manny shells out a big portion to other people.

Mayweather De La Hoya was the largest PPV earning fight ever at $120MM, which earned Mayweather ~$25MM. The next closest PPV earning was Tyson Holyfied 2 at $35MM, so there is no way Manny Pacq has done numbers anywhere close.

Mayweather earned ~$11MM for the Hatton fight and $25MM for De La Hoya... That's $36MM for his last 2 fights.

Manny got ~$15MM for his De La Hoya fight and ~12 for the Hatton fight, or $27MM.

If you factor in the actual payouts from that, Mayweather is over $16MM richer than Pacq in the last 2 fights alone.
