“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.”

tellingly explained to Brin-Jonathan Butler: “He’s broke because of that and all the people he flies around to his fights. 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.”

Pac's own trainer admitting Pacquiao is broke. Who are you calling a dumb Mex, racist puto? Another racist Filipino...reported.

This is what you claim to be true, and you telling me i only know facts from what the internet gives me??!!! I think your talking about yourself boy!! haha, these are excerpts from a Roach interview that clearly just showing you how disdain Roach has felt towards most of the people that follow and go to Manny just to ask for money. Manny is so generous that he not only once, but several times already that he gave away to random people $5,000.00 piece worth of Rolex watches just because it's their birthday... If your broke you wouldn't do this kind of things, I know coz i did several works for Manny already as a commercial photographer and i spend some time with his group to know some stuff about Manny...

Quick question...Manny is on top of the sport, receiving checks from Nike and Hennessy, plastered all over magazines, etc....and he's receiving $6 million as a guarantee. So my question is....does anybody still believe Arum really was gonna guarantee Floyd $8 million to fight a virtually unknown Margarito when Floyd was no where near the status Pac is at now? I think Arum is just unveiling the lies he's been pushing for years with situations like these. How's that new outdoor stadium going, by the way?

Floyd didn't like the idea of Margarito destroying undefeated guys the way he was 8 mill or 10 mill Floyd didn't want to be fed to a shark like him. plus he didn't like the way Arum was distributing his money. Floyd felt the more dangerous the opponent the more money he deserves. Floyd no longer wanted Arum to line up his fights, he wanted to pick his fights himself (cherry picking). Floyd was well known in the states, he was even on a couple of video games... unlike now. the stadium was never assembled because Floyd never signed the dotted line. the MGM Grand was too small of a venue for the biggest fight in history!

If this fight does $0 Gate and $0 ppv Manny still gets paid $26mil over the next 90 days. So he is guaranteed $26mil.

If Floyd's fight had done $0 then he would get nothing because he has paid out $32mil and would get back $32mil. So total net gain =0

Also fighters receive EITHER the guaranteed amount or a share of revenue, which ever is the larger amount. They get both. The guarantee is just the least you can make a d is really an irrelevant number unless the fight is a huge flop or there's a natural distaster or something.

Roach didn't say he will go broke IF he keeps up his lifestyle. He said Manny Pacquiao IS broke. Either way it doesn't affect me but you asked to provide a link to another poster and I did and now you are telling me that I misconstrued what Roach meant? Why is it that all of you Pac supporters are always trying to change around the meaning of what someone out of Pac camp or Pac himself has said?

Freddie Roach says Manny Pacquiao is DEAD Broke lmao.

Don't worry though, this 4 mil payday will get him in place.

Fact of the matter is that Floyd was better off leaving Bob Arum because he is clearly making more money than Pacquiao. Floyd followed Oscar De La Hoya's lead. If you believe that Bob Arum was really down to build a stadium then you are really a jack ass.

He pointed out that “under Nevada law whatever is on the Commission contract you have to pay the night of the fight. My check is going to be a good check, not a phoney check. We have this deal with Manny that he gets whatever is guaranteed over ninety days” with estimates reaching $26 million with a possible upswing based on the pay per view revenues.

Where in this paragraph did Bob Arum say that Manny Pacquiao is guaranteed 26MIL? He said "ESTIMATES reaching $26Mil" with a POSSIBLE upswing based on PPV revenues. Nothing in that sentence says "GUARANTEED 26MIL".

Grus, only girls should be counting other Cat's $$$....What's your excuse?

So counting Pac's money when it is convenient for you is not a girly thing? I saw Posts from you over the years bragging about how successful Manny Pacquiao is but now only girls count his money. New flash, Boxingscene posted this article and Bob Arum revealed the numbers and all we doing is discussing it. Ya boy Pac is getting robbed by his own promoter and I think that is what pisses you off.

Arum says here he's guaranteed $26mil, but like I said guarantees mean nothing unless the fight is a flop. Fighters almost always make more than the guarantee anyway.

Arum said the opposite in the article so which one is it? You're acting like you know better than Bob Arum. A guarantee is a guarantee. Nothing can change that. Doesn't matter PPV, sponsorship, upsides. Why should Manny have to wait for what is guaranteed to him?
