Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito!! or NO FIGHT!

[Agent Mulder]

I see you know what time it is..

yessir

[Horus]

But "profit" is not just about one fight knowwhatimsayin. Bob could lose on this fight but make it up when manny and floyd fight. He could not pay it, let manny buy him out, then put on big fights for the rest of the big top rank guys and make some money.

I see your point but you don't let the 2nd biggest grossing fighter walk for mothing.

No way if Bob loses on this fight, he will lose on the Mayweather fight.
because against Mayweather they will not get no more than 50% at best.

and then he would have paid Pacquiao $22.5 and $25 Million guaranteed for 2 fights in a row.

Not good business.

Add in the fight he would have to share the pie with Mayweather and gbp or Don King instead of keeping it in house like with the Margarito fight.

Pacquiap vs. Margarito is the fight where he would net the biggest profit.
however Pacquiao wants to get paid like the best now.. and Bob Arum now has a problem on his hands.

[Horus]

Just give him the money, maybe this is karma for bob arum?

Bob Arum is in a tough spot.

Like I said before,
Why would Arum tell Pacquiao "NO" if he thinks Pacquiao should be paid like Mayweather?

Because if Arum denies Pacquiao's request he is basically telling Pacquiao he is not a big of draw as Mayweather, and therefore undercutting his argument that Pacquiao deserves 50% against Mayweather.

I can not help but believe that Pacquiao saw the contract on Mayweather's twitter page and was like
"WTF" why isnt Bob Arum guaranteeing me $25 Million per fight !!!

real talk.

Mayweather making $22.5 on guaranteed money alone, plus PPV money, for the Mosley fight which netted him $40 according to every report must have had team Pacquiao rethinking their business model.

[BoxingGEN]

i hope they just cancel this **** all together

what he said

[street bully]

He deserves every penny.

[Horus]

Manny should be grateful he's going to get more than 12M because Arum is taking a gamble putting Pac in the ring against Margacheato.

No way in hell is Manny worth 25M!! He needs to stop acting like a ****ing diva during contract negotiations.

Pacquiao: Pay me or I won't fight him.

Actually Arum is not taking a gamble putting Pac in the ring with Margs if Pacquiao accepts less money. Because Arum would net a profit because the fight would be in house.

But if he has to guaranteed Pacquiao $22.5 Million than Arum is taking a HUGE gamble putting Pacquiao in the ring with Margs..

because he will lose so much money if the fight doesnt do huged numbers on PPV and at the Gate.

About ****ing time i would say!!! How this guy is still making 12M is a bit strange because he should be making more than that on guarantees alone.

[Horus]

He deserves every penny.

Let's see what Bob Arums thinks about this..


Because if Arum denies Pacquiao's request he is basically telling Pacquiao he is not a big of draw as Mayweather, and therefore undercutting his argument that Pacquiao deserves 50% against Mayweather.

Remember Arum said Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Ali, but Arum doesnt want to pay him like Ali

[Horus]

About ****ing time i would say!!! How this guy is still making 12M is a bit strange because he should be making more than that on guarantees alone.

Well Pacquiao is finally starting to wake up after Seeing Mayweather get guaranteed $22.5 Million for Mosley + PPV+Gate..Which got Mayweather $40 Million dollars.

Arum has been telling Pacquiao and the media that he is the biggest draw ever even bigger than Ali, and now Pacquiao is telling Arum well pay me like the biggest draw ever !!!

Classic...

I can not wait to see how Arum handles this.!!
