Pac says he fights for the people. $40m is way more than he will make for fighting Bradley.

How do you know what he'll make for fighting Bradley. All figures thrown around are pure speculation with a conspiracy angle. Mayweather's figures are pushed out there by conspiracy looneys, using information from the "horses mouth". Mayweather does it to cause confusion and divisions and antagonisms. He's just made thst way, and he's uses bullying, threats, cruelty, inflicted on innocent females and children. He's now going to get paid back a little of torment and now going to pay off just a teeny litte of what he owes society. Nobody knows what he makes for any of his fights. Except the IRS, and I'm not sure they are given the whole picture., The comparatively low guarantees are announsed deliberately, as being the actual amount that pacquiao will get from his promoter immediately on the night of thefight. This is to obey a NSAC regulation. As for the rest, with world wide coverage m cable and TV< Radio andmother broadcasting mediums, they must take in a bundle whcih takes years tog get it all.

The reason he turned down that $40 mill was because he knew it wasn't sisncere being PR stunt. He responded with his own $50 mill,(25%more) which was also turned down. He tried a $50 mill guarantee against a 55-45 split with ainner taking the extra 10%, all thsi was igored. There's only one reason forthem both rejecting huge guarantees without PPV, and that is that PPV provided at least 3-4 times the offered purses. Mayweather is a damed fool, but not where it comes to money. I believ. that MannyP samller guarantee is pure cosmetic PR to minimise h9s taxes in the USA. .Mayweather boasts big, but doesn't care to advertise the REAL take from hisfights, neither does Manny P. And neither would I.I think Pacquiao makes.more from his fights than Mayweather, Being a global attraction makes quite a bit more from wouildwide franchises and sponsprships, as well as film and broadcast rights, in 140 countries ...plus sponsors foreign threates, PPV, Cable companies etc.etc
