[WESS]

Pretty dull at the moment, It's the rainy season here, thunder and lightning storms every day. That's why you see me posting so much.

Funny you say that as it's thunder and lighting here as well!

U r an idiot....5 million to bradley and thats it, maybe 1 or 2 more,but pac its getting 6 on night fight and after they tally up the monies he is guarrantee 25 mill..get it dumb dumb?

Why are u calling people names when you're the one making a horrible argument? The only FACT that we KNOW is that Pac is guaranteed $6 to Bradley's $5. Anything after that is you putting your eggs in the "pure speculation" basket. No one knows how the $40 Tecate rebate effect the money profited, promotion fees, or even the actual PPV sales to be so aimlessly confident in the other $25 that Arum SAID he COULD make? If u walked into anybody's boardroom talking anything other than the black and white bottom line, you'd be booted right out. Only thing ANY OF US KNOW FOR SURE is Pac is guaranteed $6 and Bradley $5. Let's keep the convo there until we get an independent source ala a NYT article telling us how Pac pocketed that other $25.

And that comes out to 26MIL (According to Bob Arum). He didn't say nothing about no Nike or Sky Sports check and anyway, Floyd makes more than that. You are talking about me in the guy's bank account but you are acting like you know EXACTLY how much money he is getting but you don't just like me unless you are down with the team and even then, you may not get the inside scoop. You are reading the article just like me and from a business aspect as far as worth go. Your boy Pac is STILL supposed to be getting double digits over Bradley. Bradley couldn't even pack a living room but now he is getting 5MIL to Pac's 6MIL for signing? Manny Pacquiao is on top of the sport. No justifying that. I don't care about the guy's money unless I'm getting paid but speaking from a business perspective. Pac is getting ganked. You guys are hurt.

******!! You're so fixated with the signing fees that you totally ignore what comes after, for all we know Bradley may be taking home just 5mil the signing fee, no more no less... And Manny for all we know must have been contracted to get the same signing fee 6mil for the longest time and didn't bother to change it since he'll be getting the rest in 90days anyways, plus PPV cuts, endorsement cuts, ticket sales cut, HBO and some others... And Bob projected a 26mil or more total revenue for Manny because he is expecting a low turn out in PPV since Bradley ain't really a very well known boxer, in fact the Bradley vs Alexander fight didn't turn out so well for HBO after spending so much for that fight... But a quick reference of Manny's last fight with Marquez, that turn out 1.45mil in PPV buys, Manny took home 29million bucks in PPV share alone, that is without yet the ticket sales cut, endorsement cuts, HBO and some more...

not sure why fans care about a fighter's pay. however, even freddie roach said manny was broke.

[shade darkar]

what i dont get is why does he need 90 days to pay pacquiao his "guarantee"

if his guarantee is 26 million as arum claims, why does he need 90 days?

hasnt top skank got 26 million in the bank?

In 90 days Manny is getting paid the total amount of what he got in the fight, not the guarantee, it's 26mill plus plus plus... That's why they need the 90 days because everything has to be totaled first, all the endorsement fees, ticket sales, PPV buys in all the states as well as around the world... Did you all read the article??...

And you know all of this how?

[Hewito]

TerrisJ3 got my point. Why can't you? Pac's guarantee should be significantly higher than Bradley. Manny shouldn't have to wait to make way more even doing something as simple as signing the paper.

Ok,so u can understand it better,manny is guarrantee 25 mil,6 mill is due on fight night and rest in 90 days...better?

No! Manny is guaranteed 6MIL on fight night not 25MIL because if he was guaranteed 25MIL then he would have got the 26MIL on fight night, right? Bob said it should be 26 after the PPV and whatever else is coming after being tallied up. 6MIL up front is still too less for someone of Manny Pacquiao's stature in the sport.
