      this is shady...because arum had got ahold of the contract or the low down on the contract so basically he had no choice but to put up a bigger contract then oscar!

      arum got to see oscars offer and do better...

      arum is a true sneaky buisness man.

        The arum deal was much better, but i think both are making a mistake in making a 6 or seven fight deal @ over 2 million dollars each. That might be asking too much of him if he has to fight top caliber fighters that merit that purse for 6 straight fights.

          How do we know that this info is accurate? If will believe it when they make the contracts available for anybody to read.

            I agree, Pac takes a tune-up fight in between megafights and with Pac's style, I believe he only has about 3 or 4 big fights left in him.

                pacquioa is just a dumb ****, he's been around boxing long enough to try and get good people looking out for him, he better pay attention to whos handling his money cause if he hasnt' gained any bussiness sense then people are going to take a advantage of him like a kid going out to interview a person for peanuts.
