[javysouthpaw]

Roach did say on 24/7 a couple of times that he is worried that Pacquiao will end up giving all his money away.

i thought floyd said he was guaranteed 40 million? i guess he meant that he might get 40 million depending on the sales. . .

that means roger mayweather is guaranteed 2.5 million. . . take out taxes, he should net about 20 some odd million if the fight sells around 1.5 million.

roger don't get 10% of 25 million.
He is maxed out at 250,000

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach, made a pretty eye popping comment recently when talking about his fighter Manny Pacquiao.

During an interview Roach reportedly told author and boxing trainer Brin-Jonathan Butler, that because of Pacquaio's large entourage and big heart he has to keep fighting, no matter what.

“He’s broke because of that and all the people he flies around to his fights," Roach said. "He goes through money like you wouldn’t believe. He can’t say no. Of course he’ll have to keep fighting. He does now. He won’t be able to stop – it’s his life.”

The Filipino champion made $20 million for his fight with Shane Mosely in May 2011. He's had previous paydays of $15 million for facing Oscar dela Hoya in 2008, and $13 million for each fight against Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto in 2009. In 2010 he got $12 million to defeat Joshua Clottey, and an additional $20 million when he destroyed Antonio Margarito that same year.

With that kind of income it's hard to imagine Pacquiao would be having financial problems, but Roach knows him probably better than anyone else.

I just hope Pac Man doesn't end up like countless former boxing champions who squandered their millions.

which is still a lot of course. puts him in a higher tax bracket thats for sure.

What's really funny is that Anderson Silva, GSP, Brock Lesnar make about 50K a fight.

All those fighters make at least £250k per fight!

Brock Lesner made a minimum of £500k against Randy Couture.

[LeadUppercut]

Pacquiao gets $6-7 million per fight.

But he is the P4P #1, and PPV cash-cow, so how could that be ?

Maybe Bob Arum is not very good with numbers and figures ?

No way would Floyd pay a trainer that much, any trainer.

Trainers for PPV fighters do not get a percentage, they get a flat rate.

thats crazy he earns probably more then the top 50 UFC fighters combined.

Oh, I didnt see that, but that is about what you would expect, and probably about what Roach makes.
