So how did GBP get manny under contract?

[BuckToothed]

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.

Not bright? How dumb can he be, he got 2 sign on bonuses... 2 top promotional companies looking out for his best interest and therefore making top dollar, while giving up the same promotional fees that he would have if he had signed with only 1 promotion company. Only the promotional companies would "suffer" from this deal, since GBP and TR would split the promotional percentage 50/50.

I guess you need to default on your loans, tax liens, sued, properties reposessed and evicted from your office space to be called a "smart" and "savvy" business man around here.

i remember pacquaio had a press conference with his lawyer beside him ( i assume jackal) and pacquaio then pointed at jackal saying it wasnt me, it was him who made the mistake.. so pacquiao was ill advised by his lawyer at the time..

pac is/was lying.

from what i read he signed right in front of oscar.

his lawyer can't sign for him.



but he does have to lie though or else arum can't claim to have his rights.

if he says yeah i signed with golden boy then arum's contract has no validity.

arum needed him to lie enough so that it'll have to go through a long legal process , whether it goes to court or a settlement beforehand.

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.

arum didn't get caught with his pants down.

if anything gbp got screwed. yeah they're getting 25% or whatever and they get to co-promote him if he fights their guys BUT remember pac signed with golden boy.

they're suppose to have 100%.

arum pulled a fast one.

yes he has to give gbp a cut but pac is suppose to be a gbp fighter anyway.
