Pacquiao’s Tax Issues Lead to Bigger Questions

[Gino Ros]

I feel bad for Manny's disastrous financial situation.

Manny has worked hard, and doesn't deserve to be broke.

Best wishes to Manny Pacquiao.

Fucking promoters.

It's about time there's more enforced transparency in the business.

Promoters seem to be worse than the frigging bankers in terms of finding ways to sneak and hide funds, manipulate records for profit.

[ShoulderRoll]

I'm no oracle, but i'd say by 2022 Mr. Arum is probably six feet under.

Michael Koncz will still be around to bloodsuck....err, I mean, to "advise" Manny.

Damn, Pac...

This really is a sad situation as a whole. Pacquiao will be fighting long past it. His punch resistance will go and things will get to the point where he can't get licensed at progressively more and more places.

It is sad seeing this slow train wreck go down because the end result is already written if nothing changes.

Really he needs to do this fight then take some time off cut off the leaches and get his house all in order. Then go to work on Bob Arum, trying to sort that out but atleast getting the best possible deal, then look to fight Floyd for the best deal he can get.

Then retire and live off what he has which will be less than he should have but stilla large ammount, plus some endorsements or whatever he can add on to.

It is pointless to do more until he gets his house in order because no matter what comes in it will walk out the door almost just as fast.

I wish him the best because this is not easy to do and will piss off a lot of people who he thinks are his "friends" but they are just using him.

you right Gambler... He has to thin out that horde of people he calls friends.. and streamline his budget. I heard he has a private army over there too.

As for getting from Arum, I'm not sure how much hope there is of that.

Still, no matter how bad it gets, I don't think Manny will ever be back out on the street. He's too notable a celebrity in the PI and abroad. He can always sc**** some cash together off of that celebrity status.

[WESS]

Fire Bob Arum and sign with Mayweather promotions.... Floyd could make money off Pac in the back end while agreeing to a fair share of money to fight right now.... as bad as that sounds they BOTH would make a hell of a lot more money than they are now.

F**K Bob Arum, he is fully responsible if Pac where to get in trouble.. I hope this is not Bob's way of cashing out.

Pac needs to use this tax issue to break his contract with Bob Arum.

[Syf]

^ I'm pretty sure Manny has contractual obligations.. He can't just "leave Bob Arum"

He could try to negotiate a better deal, but good luck with that. Arum is slime
