Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito!! or NO FIGHT!

Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito. It has been reported by several sources that Pacquiao has demanded Bob Arum guarantee him more money than Floyd Mayweather got against Shane Mosley in May. Which According to contracts filled with The Nevada Athletic Commission was $22,500,000. Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants to become the highest paid fighter in boxing, and he is now demanding Bob Arum make it happen for the Margarito fight. According to numerous reports, Manny is asking for one dollar more Guaranteed Money than what Mayweather receive for Mosley which would be $22,500,001. Which now the question has to be asked, Why is Manny Pacquiao so concerned about making the exact amount Mayweather made for his last fight against Mosley, better yet he wants 1 dollar more. Based on Pacquiao previous Guaranteed Purses, His demand of $22,500,001. Dollars should be considered absurd. Because as showed the figures below, he is only averaging $ 7.16 Million guranteed in his last 6 fights, and his highest Guaranteed Purse was $12 Million according to most reports. Remind you that, in order for HBO and Top Rank to break even on that request Manny vs. Margarito would have to at least hit 1.2 Million buys which would probably net $54 Million in PPV revenue, and his gate would have to exceed $10 Million dollars. Question of the Thread So the question now is, do you guys think Manny is justifed in his request of a guarantee of $22,500,001 million dollars against Margarito considering his past Fight Revenue income generated? Manny Pacquiao Guaranteed Purses: Pacquiao $12 Million vs. Clottey $1.5 Million Pacquiao $7.5 million vs. Miguel Cotto $4 Million Pacquiao $12 million vs. Ricky Hatton $11 Million Pacquiao $6 Million vs. De la Hoya $20 Million Pacquiao $3 million vs. David Diaz 800k Pacquiao $2.5 Million vs. Juan Manuel Marquez 2 $500 Pacquiao $650.000 vs Juan Manuel Marquez $500k Manny Pacquiao Average Guaranteed Purse for his Past 6 Fights: $ 7.16 Million Pacquiao's 12 pay-per-view fights 6.25 million buys and $320 million June 2008: Pacquiao vs. David Diaz 250k PPV = $12.5 Million Dec 2008: Pacquiao vs. De la Hoya 1.25M PPV= $70 Million May 2009: Pacquaio vs. Ricky Hatton 800k PPV= $43 Million Nov 2009: Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto 1.25 M PPV = $68 Million Mar 2010: Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey 700k PPV= $35 Million other ppv: Pacquaio vs. Morales 350,000 PPV Pacquiao vs. Morales II- 355,000 buys PACQUIAO vs. BARRERA 350,000 PPV Pacquaio vs. Marquez I 360,000 PPV Pacquaio vs. MarquezII 400,000 buys

22.5 mil guaranteed for pac? I really don't see this fight selling over a mill ppv to warrant this type of paycheck. People will pay to see Pacman but most people don't know who Cheatto is. Plus his cheating will turn off hardcore fans IMO it will be lucky to push 500k ppv buys. Arum might take a loss if he guarantees that much money for Manny. Why even take the chance your cash cow gets damaged or loses? Then Pacman will lose leverage in any fututure negations with PBF. I just don't get the whole thing. I'd rather see Pac fight Marquez. Another big name who comes to fight and is worth the ppv buy. Why insist on fighting cheatto who is past his prime and plasterless?

Manny is worth these demands but he should offer to fight for ten dollars just to see himself get turned down again.

I voted no in that I don't think that the Margarito matchup is compelling enough to justify it. Yes this is one of the closes threads I have ever seen. Considering the size of the poll.

What's the problem with Manny asking for this much money? Pacquiao deserves it (if this is true), and Arum will more than likely give it to him. I don't get the point of this thread at all? You right Pacquiao does deserves it from Bob Arum, Because simply Bob Arum has told him, the media, and the boxing fans he is the biggest draw. He even said Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Ali. So Pacquiao rightfully so Pacquiao is telling Arum, Ok since I am the biggest draw in the sport, and even bigger than Ali. Pay me like it..I want $22.5 Million Guaranteed for my next fight!! I want to be paid like the best fighter in the world like you claim I am. and obviously this is where the problem comes in for Arum based on how much revenue Pacquiao past fights have generate and previous guaranteed Purses Pacquiao has been getting from Arum. Arum has been guaranteeing Pacquiao in his last 6 fights $7.16 Million dollars a fight. However, Arum has also been claiming that Pacquiao is the biggest draw in the sport!! An average of $7.16 Million a fight is not what the biggest draw in the world should be making. The number #2 Mayweather according to Arum is making way more than that amount. $11 Million average in his last 6 fights to almost be exact So Pacquiao now got hip to the game and told Arum according to reports, The best in the sport are getting guaranteed WAYYYYYYYY more than $7.16 Million dollars a fight. As a matter of fact Mayweather just got $22.5 Million guaranteed in his last fight. If you Arum, say I Pacquiao am the biggest Draw in the sport. PAY ME LIKE IT!!! Now this is where the drama is at... What happens and What does this means if Arum tells Pacquiao "NO"? and Is Pacquiao justify in asking for that Money based on the previous purses he has been getting and money he has been generating?.

you're such a dumb fagggot horus it's hilarious to me. dumb fukk never posts any sources, comes up with his own shiit and yet somehow the sheep blow this thread up. horus go fukk yourself you useless cock flavoured lollipop. i saw this same information posted at several boxing sites. Gino, you crack me up with your awesomeness. It almost looks like your saying that all the bad stuff Businessman just said is what you confirmed on other sites... :)

Horus wanted to insinuate that Manny's envoius of Floyd, who apparently was offered $25M and stans are quick to agree, even saying Manny saw Floyd's Tweeter account, hence this unconfirmed report that Manny's demanding scumbag Arum $22.5M LOL! That's the whole point of this thread IMO. Horus just wanna make it complicated and create threads like these for his own entertainment, instead of saying it out flat loud that Pacquiao's jealous. And if people are asking about multiple sources they got branded as trolls and are redirected to another topic just to augment the lack of the answer to those questions, coz there aren't any other than the unreliable bleacher report... What a bunch of childish bull... we know manny is not jealous of floyd because manny fights for legacy and challenge. floyd fights for money. but i did see this report at several sites.

Pacman has all the right to up his guaranteed purse! Actors, Actresses, and Sportsmen all have the right to up their talent fees! That's what Business is all about in Democracy! You got to strike the rod while its hot! Pacquiao has the right to make all the money he can, especially since Bob Arum keep telling everybody he is the biggest draw ever..!
