Pacquiao to earn more than Barrera, Marquez combined

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In a recent interview with The Manila Bulletin, Top Rank head Bob Arum told the paper that Manny Pacquiao will earn more money for his April 15 bout against unknown Jorge Solis in Texas, than the combined purses received by Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez for their March 17 showdown that took place in Las Vegas.

He might earn more money in his next fight, but its gonna be hard for him to get the mega fights with MAB, and JMM because they are with Golden Boy. Also Golden Boy has Valero and Joan Guzman. So some very interesting fights may be hard to produce.

So Pacquiao got top dollar for his soul, I see.

Golden Boy no longer holds any control over Valero, I don't believe.

Typical Arum here, doing anything and everything to downplay Golden Boy and pump up himself and his fighters. If GBP wins Pac's promotional rights, what on earth will he do?

Probably put out some kind of multi-million dollar guarantee for Pac to face Soto...and then rip GBP for not taking it (though he would control the whole card)...

I seriously doubt Manny is getting 5 mil for the Solis fight.

[Easy-E]
