Couldn't disagree with you more. You get what you earn and generate and Manny, respectfully, doesn't generate enough to get that right now.

I think Pacquiao deserves that much for what he does, but i don't think Arum could justify giving him that unless he truly believes this fight would sell more the 1.2 million ppv buys, something i'm not really sure about myself. I'd be impressed if it broke the 1 million mark.

From every independent thing I've read Manny Pacquio has not sold enough ppv's or had a large enough live gate that would warrant a $22.5 mil guarantee. If you feel otherwise please explain.

Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito.

It has been reported by several sources that Pacquiao has demanded Bob Arum guarantee him more money than Floyd Mayweather got against Shane Mosley in May. Which According to contracts filled with The Nevada Athletic Commission was $22,500,000.

Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants to become the highest paid fighter in boxing, and he is now demanding Bob Arum make it happen for the Margarito fight.

According to numerous reports, Manny is asking for one dollar more Guaranteed Money than what Mayweather receive for Mosley which would be
$22,500,001.

Which now the question has to be asked, Why is Manny Pacquiao so concerned about making the exact amount Mayweather made for his last fight against Mosley, better yet he wants 1 dollar more.

Based on Pacquiao previous Guaranteed Purses, His demand of $22,500,001.
Dollars should be considered absurd.

Because as showed the figures below, he is only averaging $ 7.16 Million guranteed in his last 6 fights, and his highest Guaranteed Purse was $12 Million according to most reports.


Remind you that, in order for HBO and Top Rank to break even on that request Manny vs. Margarito would have to at least hit 1.2 Million buys which would probably net $54 Million in PPV revenue, and his gate would have to exceed $10 Million dollars.

manny just wants the challenge and to prove he is the best.
