This article is very true. I have heard it from multiple sources and I have heard about the large advance Pac had to take from Arum leading up to the Cotto fight. There have been a lot of people take advantage of Pacquiao financially over the years and he is very giving with his money.
Another thing that should be discussed is Roach's cut. Traditionally a trainer does get 10% of the gross fighter purse but when a fighter gets to the financial level of a Manny Pacquiao there is usually an arrangement made bfore each bout where the trainer will work for an agreed upon fee. For instance against Mayweather coming up there is no way Roach should make upawards of 2 million dollars. I agree Manny needs Roach but Roach needs Manny as well and work for a fraction of 2 mill.
Non of you have read the article.This is an educational article which details the breakdown of what the guy makes and how much he pays everyone.e.g in the Morales rematch he had a purse of $2m but he got only $340k from that $2m.WIth that he still owed about $100k otherwise he would have got $240k
He was promoted by a straight up thief. He also ended up suing Murad and winning.

There is a cap.Remember Floyd Mayweather outpriced himself with DelaHoya by charging $2m.That was unheard of.Roach is milking Manny dry.
This article shows why so many boxers become poor after their careers.The gross is always good but these guys are taken advantage of especially Manny.Most of the boxers live on the advances from promoters that's why it becomes difficult to leave promoters.

Most of what you say is dead on except the bolded IMO. It's difficult to leave the promoter because they sign a legally binding contract with the promoter. Also, boxers that live on advances from promoters is in the extreme minority of fighters because only the extreme minority is in demand enough to secure the promoter repayment of debt and a return

the thing is no matter what anyone say, mayweather will be bankrupt in 10 years while pac will be senator (minimum rank) and has multiple business.
No he doesn't owe US IRS, you are correct. That is because Pacquiao and Arum have made sure that his American taxes are paid out of his purse which is extremely smart. But he does run out of money before his fights and take advances from Arum. This is true. I am not saying he is not doing dishonorable things with his money I am just saying that he is overly generous and gets bamboozled by some.
In addition to performing his promotional duties, Shaw developed a great fondness for Pacquiao. It troubled Gary that, when Pacquiao fought Erik Morales the first time, Murad Muhammad had enjoyed a luxurious suite while the fighter was consigned to lesser quarters. Thus, for Morales-Pacquiao II, Shaw arranged for Manny to be lodged in a luxurious two-bedroom suite with a wet bar, plasma TVs, and other amenities. Shaw says that escorting Pacquiao to his suite was a great moment. "It made me feel good," said Gary, "just to see Manny's reaction." He had a smile like a kid at his first Christmas."
There are people who have been saying that Manny is richer than Mayweather.To understand Manny's financial position please read the article below.It's a bit old but it gives you an insite in what he actually made and how boxers are treated in general.
