Bob Arum: "Pac is guaranteed $15M and could make as much as $25M"

[SuckaPunch]

World pound-for-pound champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao stands to earn as much as $25 million from his November 13 fight against Mexican American Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito, according to his promoter Bob Arum.

"Manny is guaranteed $15 million for the fight, and including his share from the pay-per-view upside, he could make as much as $22 million to $25 million," Arum said in a phone interview from Manila.

Arum, chief executive of Top Rank Promotions, predicts that Pacquiao vs Margarito will exceed the almost 1.2 million PPV sales generated by Pacquiao's fight with Puerto Rican star Miguel Cotto last November 14.

The top boxing impresario also said Margarito, who is guaranteed $3 million for his biggest pay check, could earn as much as $7 million to $8 million if the PPV sales hit 1.3 million or more, as expected.

As it should be. Guy is lucky he isn't selling chiclets on the side of the highway in Tijuana as a profession. Arum went the extra mile and fought for him to make sure he didn't end up like Resto, gave him $3 million guaranteed.

those are some seriously big crumbs. especially for a guy that many believe should be black booked from boxing.

bottom line is Margarito was in no position to negotiate for a higher purse. im sure he took the first offer that was given to him. and to me his purse seems very generous

Dude could potentially walk away with 10 million after he got caught almost cheating. Nothing to sneeze at all thing's considered
