I don't know why I'm even entertaining this thread, but anyway...
Arum doesn't get dime one from either purse since he promotes both fighters. Promoters get paid off a fighter when they fight on someone else's show (which is how smaller promoters are able to stay afloat after years of losing their ass or breaking even on their own shows). It's illegal for them to take a cut of their own fighter's purse on a show in which they're the promoter of record.
You've already been informed of the part where those are just the guaranteed purses. With the guarantee at that modest rate, they stand to make a handsome ransom for the PPV upside, which is basically anything over 450,000 if my math is correct. There's also the overseas TV rights, which puts extra money in at least Pacquiao's pockets.
On a separate note... spamming your own thread with the same rhetoric is fine. But let's keep it limited here and not have it spread throughout the forum.
Wow...never had a single thought about overseas PPV.
