Pacquiao payout this Saturday could be $30 million

Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports reports that Manny Pacquiao could earn up to $30 million for his fourth fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.  Marquez will receive $3 million for this Saturday’s fight.

According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Pacquiao will earn an $8.595 million fight purse with Marquez receiving $3 million.  However, Pacquiao will receive a cut of the PPV and foreign TV earnings which are estimated between $25-$30 million.

According to Top Rank, closed circuit locations for the fight are up from the Pacquiao-Marquez III in 2011.  Despite the loss in June, it appears that the Pacquiao popularity continues.

Payout Perspective:

Saturday night’s PPV is estimated to be between 1 million and 1.3 million buys – which is the amount from their last fight in November 2011.  The article did not indicate whether Pacquiao is receiving a portion of the closed circuit money.  Also, it does not state whether Marquez is receiving an upside of the PPV.

Pacquiao earned $26 million for his last fight whereas his opponent Timothy Bradley made $5 million.  Interesting enough, Marquez made $5 million for Pacquiao-Marquez III and could have earned up to $5 million from PPV.  So, Marquez is making less and it’s not clear whether he is receiving a cut of the PPV.
