Pacquiao has become box office, which carries major influence. Look at what happened to the Cotto deal - Manny got what he wanted.

The bloodsucking promoters who make more than the fighters should be punished in an appropriate manner

Fighters only get money from their fights.

Promoters get money from all their fighters fights.

Remember that Forbes listed Pacquiao as one of the highest paid athletes.

Top Rank and Golden Boy are tied because Top Rank stumbled because of Cotto losing to Margarito, Margarito with the plaster, Margarito losing to Mosley, and Pavlik losing to Hopkins.
