If Arum doesn't truly care of about Manny and just about $$$, wouldn't making the...

Floyd/Pac fight logical?

I mean if he is truly milking him for all he's got left ( and he's on the decline apparently ) then why would a Marquez 4th fight even be on the table?

I mean Arum isn't truly looking for whats in Manny's best interest right?

Floyd easily beating Pac isn't even the point. Win/Lose both parties are making millions.

If Floyd embarass Manny his stock pluments; but what if Manny beats Floyd(I highly doubt it) Bob can match him with me after that LOL.

No it wouldn't be logical. Thinking about it Arum could make less money from Pacquiao fighting Floyd.

Let's say the fight does 2.4 million sales. That is less than double the amount Pacquiao can get on its own. You might say ''but it earns more'', the only people who would see the upside to that financially are ( HBO, and I guess people around Vegas: Gates, Casino, tourists).

Arum would see his money split in half as Golden Boy's promotion would seek a cut. Same applies to Mayweather/Pacquiao, they're used to receiving the lion share in PPV but that too would be split in half.

It also limits further sales, as nothing both fighters do will live up to that big show down.

For the fans it is beneficial but from a financial point, it is risky business for Arum, Pacquiao and Mayweather.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao, Cinco de mayo, no to Pac-JMM 4.

Arum likes to keep all the money in-house.

Becuase its a 100 million dollar fight biggest fight in history.. and any good fighter can have a great night and beat a great fighter.. than you lose out on a 100 million dollar fight.. manny will lose eventually and then the fight wouldnt be as big.. no one is invincable.. also even if pacquiao loses he still will be having million dollar fights.. its a win win
