Pacquiao offered $ 10-M vs Oscar Nick Giongco- Manila Bulletin - July 25, 2008 The Mexican media reported that Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) has dangled an offer of $ 10 million for Manny Pacquiao to face Oscar De La Hoya in December. Box-latino said that apart from the guaranteed purse, GBP is also luring the Filipino with a share on the expected high pay-per-view sales which is estimated to reach $ 5 million. The figures that have been released is similar to the amount disclosed by a member of Pacquiao’s inner circle last week. "But Manny wants more than that," said the Team Pacquiao insider. Earlier reports reveal that Pacquiao wants a $ 20 million but trainer Freddie Roach said it would already be great if Pacquiao earns between $ 15 million to $ 18 million in a De La Hoya fight. De La Hoya is the king of the pay-per-view after his ballyhooed battle with Floyd Mayweather last year hit 2,150,000 buys. De La Hoya got $ 25 million as purse, while Mayweather received $ 10 million but they earned more than after their cut on the pay-per-view were added in.
