Pac contract with Top Rank........

yup. that's why pac has all these tax problems , lawsuits and repossessions. also why buboy and roach had to give him money to resolve his issues while pac was retired. good thing he could always fight once a year to pay off those debts!

He extended for 2 fights.

From DZRH (Local radio station here) : Pac's gurantee was $18M and he's about to get another $10M from PPV. on topic : Manny pacquiao is not promoter. Choosing TR over GBP was a great decision. i read his minimum is 15m. that's from dan rafael. i trust dan more than philippine media.

Agreed but personally think he won't leave Arum. IMO, reason is loyalty. After a slew of thieves disguised as promoters prior Arum, pac is indebted to him. I'm not saying Arum is not a money grubber but he made Pacquiao richer than probably his wildest dreams. Pinoys often have this "utang na loob" going for them unlike most European/Americans. It is a culture thing. Same reason why ( IMO, 90% ) take care of their parents ( when they no longer can take care of themselves) personally rather than leaving them in a welfare center. It has its advantages/disadvantages. But often in Pinoys, this is often the unwritten rule rather than the exception. He can be loyal but he need to be out for number 1 aswell. He doesn't even need to leave to get the best offer from Top Rank just start looking at options and the vault gets opened up. I don't mind promoters making money as they are taking risk but fighters are in an even riskier profession so I always want to see fighters do the best they can.

like i said , how do you know what deal he got? besides he already threatened to leave. remember when he signed with gbp and then they made up that bs that he signed with top rank 1st (which was complete bs)? probably got a good deal then. sure he got a better deal. arum still has to convince him to sign the extension. anyways.....the guy made 15 mil. last saturday. MINIMUM. i ain't gonna cry for the guy no matter how much better he could have done. That was back then, this is now Manny could get a better deal he only needs to act and if he feels comfortable with Top Rank he doesn't even need to leave just explore his options.. There is no way Arum would offer Manny the best deal unless he was forced into, I am sure the deal is fair and works for both parties but at this point in Manny's career the time for that is over he need to be thinking about how best to cash out best since his time is running short. It isn't a big deal but I just would rather a fighter get the money than Bob Arum and unless you put pressure on Bob he will treat nickels like manhole covers. 15 million is great unless you are worth more

Come on now, you know you don't get the best possible deal unless you are threatening to move on. I am sure his deal is alright but if he explored his options I am certain Arum could amke a better offer. Arum is to smart to just give him the best possible deal with no reason to, not when Arum can still make money off his back with no questions asked. Agreed but personally think he won't leave Arum.

for all you know he got a better deal. who knows? he's making what 15 million minimum this last fight? he's not gonna starve. don't really care if he makes more.

Disagree. Bob did a great job building him. But GBP can do a better job of taking him the next step IMO. No way Manny should "only" be guaranteed $15 mil at this point. A guarantee fo $15 million if more than he deserves considering who he is fighting and the numbers he is drawing. Whether you and the other Pac worshippers like it or not, Pac is not as big of a draw as Floyd Mayweather. He has never outsold Mayweather against a common opponent and has never sold more than 1.2 million PPVs. Actually, I think he is lucky to get the $15 million guarantee.

arum shaped his career. he never leave bob arum

Russian Crushin: Disagree. My point to Brick Wall is manny has 3 fights left. Floyd, JMM3, Khan (wembly stadium). Could get Pac about $65-70 mil guaranteed before any other income. \\ Respectfully, history teaches us that when you leave Bob your paychecks get MUCH bigger. That a good list but for legacy purposes. he should fight PBF of course, one of the undefeated young guns Bradley or Alexander and Khan or Mosley for another big pay day.

Because if he only has 1 or 2 fights left he should be maximizing his earnings, he can't do that with Arum taking what he is currently taking. Even if he wants to stay at Tp Rank he should explore his options because that only leads him to getting a better deal no harm can come from it even if he doesn't improve his deal. for all you know he got a better deal. who knows? he's making what 15 million minimum this last fight? he's not gonna starve. don't really care if he makes more.

You guys are stupid, Manny Pacquiao has become the greatest boxer of our time, one of the true all time great (by performance and numbers) and is what the 6th highest paid athlete in the world... and the man who helped him become that is Bob Arum ! Why would he leave Bob Arum when he's only got 1 or 2 more fights in the game ? why ruin the success that they've had.

i'm gonna pretend to ask for an autograph and have him sign as my promotional property Both funny and unenforceable!

pac's business acumen is not like that of mayweather. with that said, its better for him to stay with top rank. yup. that's why pac has all these tax problems , lawsuits and repossessions. also why buboy and roach had to give him money to resolve his issues while pac was retired.

He'll stay at bottomrank. for sure

If he still has to cut Arum and GBP a check, he's better off on his own. Unless, he's happy where he's at and doesn't mind splitting his money with two other companies. gbp's cut comes from arum's end. besides i don't know if gbp gets a cut of him anymore. don't know if arum's deal with gbp was dependent on the original contract. gbp's deal might not apply to his extension. who knows?

I see now. yeah but still arum is overpaid, 20-25 percent he gets of the ppv gross (after costs have been deducted) the guy must seriously be loaded
