Manny Pacquiao will recieve an extra $2.25 million in sponsorship money for ad space on his boxing trunks for his May 2nd bout against Floyd Mayweather according to Pacquiao’s business manager Eric Pineda.
Pineda told World Boxing News that at this point there are six companies that will have its logos on his trunks. In the past, Pacquiao has had various Filipino companies on his trunks as well as other notable sponsors including Nike and Head & Shoulders.
Perhaps, the most inauspicious sponsor on Pacquiao’s shorts was Wonderful Pistachios as he wore the sponsor patch in his December 2012 fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. When Marquez knocked out Pacquiao, the “Get Crackin” sponsor patch on the back of his shorts was visible for all the wrong reasons.
Payout Perspective:
It’s clear that this fight will be one of the most watched in the history of the sport. While Pacquiao will receive less than half of the gross revenues from the fight, he will make a nice sum from sponsors on his shorts. For Filipino companies, placing an ad on his shorts makes sense as virtually the entire country will be watching the fight. What will be interesting is to see whether some of the companies that have sponsored him in the past will pay the dramatically increased fee. Also, will there be new sponsors for Pacquiao on May 2nd. Although not confirmed to be on his shorts, Butterfinger has a marketing campaign with Pacquiao in lead-up to the fight.
People dont seem to realize all the back end money that this fight will generate.
lol. absolutely amazing. Pac makes 50% of a ufc champions salary by throwing advertisers on his trunks.
Fagbusiness and Saldaqueer love the line “back end”. Hahaha. Boxing fags.
By the way fagbusiness-
UFC on FOX 15 earned a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demo
PBC did less: .9 rating in 18-49 demo
Reebok deal looks small hahahahahahaha…cheap
D- what ever you say rear naked choke admirer. keeo studying BJJ. LOL. The hidden gay repression in MMA cant be missed. Just get on your back and spread your legs. By the way. .9 and 1.1 are pretty similar. how is 1.1 “killing it” bit 0.9 is horrible? I was told the UFC has a HUGE young base and Boxing doesnt. well why the hell are the numbers so similar. BAHAHAHA. 2.2 for putting ads on his trunks . Thats 80% of Jon Jone’s fighting income. LOL
May 2nd is coming. ge ready for that majical and astounding 4 millin ppv number. by the way the gate is 74 million. HOLY FUCKIN SHIT. and only 16k people fit in the fuckin arena. BAHAHAHA. Boxing does a 300 million dollar gate at a stadium for this fight. LOL
“back end money”
Good one.
Whatever you say Fagbusiness, who obsesses about openly gay champions in boxing. Fagbusiness has a tassel fetish also, and loves it when men bite each other’s ears.
1.1 and .9 are similar if this had been PBC’s 15th show, but of course it isn’t. Also, since you are completely retarded, another overwhelmingly obvious reason is the cost of the event for the PBC show was probably 4x the expense of the UFC, and the UFC still did better in the key demo, not to mention brought in a bigger gate.
Yeah, May 2nd is coming, so you better enjoy it while it comes. Of course your estimation of 4m buys is not shared by anyone of credibility. Also, the gate is not 74m, that is a blatant lie.
“Boxing does a 300 million dollar gate at a stadium for this fight.”
These are the words of an incoherent, desperate, mentally ill turd.
” by the way the gate is 74 million.”
Actually it will be $0 million if they don’t get off their asses and issue the goddamn tickets.

I guess they went on sale but apparently only 1k were available to the public. What the hell is that? Does that mean that Pac and Mayweather get to control tickets on the 2ndary market and act as their own scalpers? I’ve never seen this before.
