can manny just up and leave top rank?

[Left Hook Tua]

I read it a few different times on articles from here during the Hatton-Pac negotiations... Pac wanted a higher percentage from Hatton, apparently because he has to pay Arum his cut.

i don't know about that.

that seems high.

especially considering that offer beat golden boy's offer.

what was golden boy offering 30%?


only time i've ever seen that 27% figure was when floyd was talking about it.

let me look up those hatton articles.

oh so your saying if you work at a mill and you regularly get $1400 / 2 weeks





And your employer says HEY YOU WANNA GET PAID $1000 / 2 weeks instead



That you'd accept it? ****. id look for the better deal if i was manny. take more money. its your labour

1400 to 1000 is a bit different when your talking about millions, Do you really need someone to explain this logic to you?

And you still think Floyd keeps all the money from all of his fights?

i bet you do.

Arum needs Manny. Manny doesnt need him. You're right he should leave. He make alot more cash without Arums hands in the pot.

All employers need employees, some ( Pacquiao) are more valuable than others so letting them go would be more of a detriment.

Pacquiao's actions to me are the equivalent of working at McDonald's after hitting the lotto or setting up your own fast food chain. He's making more money than Arum can provide him.

People like Clottey should be tied up with promotional companies long term, not super stars.

I agree 100%.

I dont know how good of a business mind Manny has though.

or is he legally obligated to his contract. cuz i wish he could just up and leave and sign to the same promoter as pbf

If he tried to do that, I bet Arum would try suing the **** out of him if he's still signed with Golden Boy

i don't even know what that means.

pacquiao is what #2 highest paid fighter right now per fight behind floyd?

higher paid if you consider that he fights more often.

let's not act like he's not making any money.

Bob Arum could ''fire'' Pacquiao for not fighting Margarito.

Yeah....

Compare the amount of money Pacquiao generates to the amount of money he receives.

Yeah....

It wouldn't be a good business move because he's still the goose that lays golden eggs for Arum but he could do it.

If Messi decided to skip training, not play for Barcelona and what not, the club could fire him.

I agree 100%.

I dont know how good of a business mind Manny has though.

remember when he originally signed with top rank he wasn't a superstar yet.

he was still at 130. he hadn't fought rematches with barrera and marquez yet. he hadn't fought delahoya , hatton and cotto yet.

the contract he originally signed with arum GUARANTEED him a MINIMUM of $21 million. plus he got a sizeable bonus.

don't know how smart pacquiao is , he isn't very well educated but that was a good deal at the time.
