Why did Manni only make $6 million for the Mosley fight?

[cixthree]

The better question would be: Why do you care?

I don't worry about the money my neighbor is making. And he's close enough to kill me. Why would I worry about the money a fighter I'll never meet is making?

If Floyd Mayweather is making more money than any other fighter, it really doesn't mean much. It means that potentially he's fighting the better fighters on better dates. Maybe he's the bigger draw. Or.... maybe he's being overpaid. Maybe his opponents get less money.

Maybe.... just maybe... it really doesn't ****ing matter and both he and Pacquiao will make the same money and that's all there is to it. Just a WACKY, little thought.

And yes, that's what this is all about. Don't try and spin it any other way.

I think the point he was trying to make was "Why would Arum lie about how much Manny was making, 20 mil but really making 6 mill"
Just that simple fact to me lets me know not to believe a word Arum says about ANYTHING!
Arum upsells EVERYTHING, so how am I to trust what he says about why Floyd and Manny have/are not fighting.

Posted this in another forum...

I see floyd, I see Paq, I see Arum comments...So copy\paste below

I could care less about how much each fight makes, it doesn't affect me at all...They make their money, great for them-we get to see the fight that everyone has been talking about for years...

If it is true that Mannys contract is up, that would be positive for us fight fans...Everyone knows (or should know) it is Arum that is trying to avoid staging the fight...

Mayweather Promotions works with Golden Boy...If Mannys contract is up, it would be wise to work with (not sign with) Golden Boy to get the fight made...

Manny Pacquiao Promotions and Mayweather Promotions with cooperation from Golden Boy Promotions...

Let GBP take over all the promoting of the fight, getting the press conferences together, and all the fine details to get things rolling...They get their cut of the $$$ to stage the biggest fight of the decade, the fight that everyone (although we are all getting tired of the bull****) wants to see...

Both fighters get the money they should, without Arum trying to leach every possible penny for the fight to add to his bank account...

Manny and Floyds promotional companies would not be able to stage a fight this big by themselves...We all know Arum would rather stage Paq with another stiff so he can make his millions...Add GBP to Manny and Floyds promotional companies, let them take care of promotions...

win\win\win by all parties

Manny gets much more money than he ever has since he has been with Bob Ascum

Floyd gets his usual (much more actually), which is much more than fighters that are not running their own promotion

Split it 50\50, take the tests, and lets get this fight on...

That is the only way, and the best way for both fighters IMO...

As long as Arum is involved, the fight won't happen...He already has fighters lined up to face Manny after the JMM fight (ie. Bradley, Mike Jones, and who knows who else)

Take Arum out of the picture and the fight is made...Let GBP take care of the promotions and buildup, and we have a fight...

Both fighters are ready to go, now that dinosaur needs to visit the rest of his kind and become extinct...

If that is true then I smell an Arum robbery, no way unless the numbers seriously tanked should Pac be doing under 10 mil a fight. .

Maybe this is why Manni hired the steroid distributor to be his accountant

Pacquiao has the star power to be his own boss and not give up so much of his purse. But he chooses not to, some may call it loyalty, others may call it ******ity.

remember pac has political aspirations and a second job as a congressman. it would be difficult to do his management aswell. plus money is not everything. he already has more he'll ever need,unless he goes on a major spending spree, which i doubt it will happen.15 mil is a helluvalot of money for a person living in the phillipines.

Then why is everyone on his team arguing about money and getting into fistfights?

Why did Roach say that he was worried?

I thought I read it was more than 6 mill.

Don't care much anyway.

Nope. Manny made $6 million. Shane made $3.9 million.

Fact.

Those were the guarantees.
