THE REAL STORY on RICK-PAC: Manny Pacquiao Accepted 52-48

[Fights]

Wonder why Bob Arum, who is supposed to be on Manny's side, is so pissed?

Well, its because Manny Pacquiao accepted the 52-48 proposal. Yeah, that's right.

The only problem is for Manny to accept the 52-48 terms, Bob has to up the guaranteed purse, meaning less cut for Bob.

52-48 is actually between Pac & Arum. The Hatton's lawyer said that they stood on their 50-50 bout.

but bob didn't increased the guaranteed purse, so its essentially still 50-50.

so what your saying is that the fight isn't happening because Pac-man is miffed about who is paying him his money?

and people say this isn't an out of control ego?

Protip Mr Pacquiao, We the fans pay your ****ing money.

Bottom line, Manny Pacquiao accepted 52-48 because he thinks his status is higher than Hatton.

Call it ego, call it "due respect," call it first among equals, it's what Manny wants.

This is Pacquiao vs. Arum

Arum is not Pacquiao's employer; Arum is his agent. Its more the other way around: Pacquiao is the one paying Arum money. Pacquiao just told Arum that you will not earn millions at my expense (Pacquiao after all will do all the hard work after the ****ty contract is signed) until I get what is rightfully mine. In his eyes, Arum bungled and sold him out. He wanted a bigger share and Arum was not able to get it. Now all Pacquiao wants from Arum is to guarantee that the amount that he makes from this fight will be what Arum said it will be; and if not Arum takes the hit first. It's hard to criticize Pacquiao's actions toward Arum.

Tell that to Bob Arum and Golden boy b*tch!!! The boxers lay their life on the line - they deserve to be paid. The promoters are the greediest sons of b*tches in boxing.

Arum increased his fight purse gurantee from $11 million to $12 million.

Arum done all he had to do. Manny's advisors ****ed everything up.

[Fights]

Arum increased his fight purse gurantee from $11 million to $12 million.

52-48 split with a $13 million guarantee

or

55-45 split with a $12 million guarantee

Any lower than that, and you're back to square one which is 50-50. Arum doesn't want to give up $1 million.

Golden Boy wants Manny to accept their 50-50 with $12 Million guarantee. Hatton's lawyer said that their position is to hold their 50-50 position. While Schaeffer & Hatton camp still insist on 50-50.


The 52-48 is not from Hatton camp, but from Arum.
