Pacquiao's purse for the Marquez fight only 6 mil? According to this email it was.

[BoZz]

Like I was telling people in regards to Manny "accepting" less money to fight Mayweather...he wasn't going to make as much as Floyd would anyways. Why? Because Arum is all in his pockets.

damn right...

[V.WEBB]

the MGM grand sits 30k and thats only enough money for 200 tickets.........

Why go back and forth with him? He's not even funny......anymore.

[BoZz]

pac has no saying what so ever...arum is the one calling the shots..but I'm just surprised that pac is letting arum making him look like a little scared b1tch who's hiding in the Filipines right now :/

Are you serious?

The MGM grand holds half that and lmao at how you conviently used the 200k+ on the most expensive tickets

And lets not forget that they were giving away tickets for free (aka comps) basically begging people to watch the fight because no one wanted to pay for it even with crazy promotions like steve kim said

Meanwhile Pac and Marquez sold out with a month to go and had a bigger gate and better PPV #'s but I bet you know all about that huh lmao

Al haymon making more then Pac hahaha. And Jessie Vargas is getting paid on par to that of a top UFC fighter.

That's grossly inaccurate, top UFC fighters get paid well over 100K with bonuses, perks and sponsorships. But yes top boxers make a **** load more than top UFC fighters, bare in mind that MMA hasn't even been around that long.

No its not,

For last weeks UFC 140, popular UFC Champion Jon Jones got $215,000 ($70,000 to show, $70,000 win bonus, $75,000 Fight of the Night bonus)

[Phil Ivey]

Thats cuz the place would've been half empty if he hadn't lmao

And what people don't realize is this is just what they report to the Commission, not the total guaranteed plus PPV

Floyd is a dumbass for having that 25 mill on a official document which means he has to report that full amount to the IRS and pay that full amount

Pac only put down 6 million but got guaranteed 25+ mill but he gets to be creative with that 19 million

Thats what happens when you have Arum and his *** buddies book keeping for you

No what happens is, you get jacked by the ever furtive Arum. Then you decide to employ an accounting firm to address these su****ions and concerns and for whatever reason you fire them and in return they initiate legal action against you and they have openly stated there were dubious dealings with Top Rank and Manny Pacquiao. Hell even Roach has come out and said Pacquiao needs the $.



And after a few years of sticking to your stance you concede to the drug testing demands and you're also prepared to take a lesser % of the purse (for the fans supposedly which is mind boggling when he refused the testing in 2009).


Coincidental? I'm skeptical.

It's not that inaccurate though. I am not an MMA hater, I will watch it sometimes. But they get around the same ball park as Vargas got that night. It's not totally off by 100's of thousands of dollars, we're talking about 10thou differences.

Jon Jones's base salary is 70,000.

Does he make more? Sure depending on the bonuses, PPV and sponsorship money but his base salary is still 70,000.

Why would it hurt me. Its you guys the one hurting. You can talk about Pac making less while Floyd makes more, so what. Just make sure to tell Floyd to pay his taxes. And also tell him to get a prenup or he will join Kobe and Hulk Hogan.

Tell Pacquiao to stop getting ripped off.
