So how did GBP get manny under contract?

[GrandpaBernard]

i've read it's true.

I always thought manny had to be bright to get where he is today but not anymore. Not as bright as I thought he was.

how bright can he be? he gets hit in the head for a living.

in the end , he got a better deal out of it so it worked out better for him.

one is not related to the other.

the golden boy-top rank deal affects arum not pacquiao's money.

ok. i see why arum wants manny to get a 50/50 split against floyd.

actually what matters to arum more is that floyd is not represented by golden boy.

if floyd fights pacquiao under golden boy he splits pacquiao's end with golden boy 50/50 in a co-promotion not the usual cut.


arum makes more money taking 40-60 with floyd not fighting under golden boy than he would 50-50 with floyd as golden boy.

so this is why that old fart wants Don King involved

exactly.

you think arum has any love for king?


but king stealing mayweather away from golden boy not only means more money for him in a pacquiao-mayweather fight but he gets to screw over golden boy.

but if Floyd stays with GBP and gets his 60% that's like smacking his old boss, bob arum, over the nose bridge with the heel of a shoe

Floyd and Oscar share a hate for bobby.

Manny? Bright? Back then he was an idiot. I do admit that his English has dramatically improved since then. Back then he had someone else read his contracts nowadays he could read entire speeches.

i get it, now.

10 or even 20% of something is better than 0% of nothing. Arum got caught with his pants down and GPB wined and dined and pulled a fast one (boxers arent very smart people and are easily impressed). So Arum had to pay a royalty because having paq and giving up a slice of him is better than not having him at all and making nothing.
