IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! poochiao asking for "50/50 or nothing" means that he's officially ducking the fight!!!!!! forbes just owned the entire pac-turd nation.... the facts are laid out for everyone to see. there is no way in HELL poochiao deserves 50/50!

This is why capitalism and the USA are declining. How can an athlete earn more than a scientist, a teacher, a doctor, etc '? People who are more useful to society.

your just complaining because it's floyd......where was this post when forbes had poochie on the list?

the sad thing is that poochie was never even on this list, he was on the list for highest paid "boxer" and that's only because at the time Floyd hadn't fought Cotto yet. now mayweather is the highest paid ATHLETE in the world and all the pacfarts are crying.

No one should be surprised Pacquiao's only earning $56m from his fights over the past year. Bob Arum takes 30% of his total earnings. Basically, Pacquiao made $80m, and with Bob Arum taking 30% of it = $56m.

yep....these pac-idiots are transparent as hell. bradley and marquez gave him a boxing lesson now and floyd is still making tens of millions more than him. pac-idiots hate life.

lol@you thinking forbes is reporting what manny makes after arum ****s him.

Earnings does not mean savings. Pacman helps the poor and takes a lot from his savings.

It means that Manny Pacquiao did not make more than Floyd Mayweather. Deal with it.

Yeah, boxing is dead...
Compare these numbers with what Junior Dos Santos earned last title fights...
Young kids will return to boxing when they see that there is a lot more money to make here

FYI forbes does not report what is earned after bills are paid. it only reports what the fighters gross. and your logic is still off. after arums 30% there is roaches 10-12% then there is ariza's 5% then there is buboy and his managers pay and the rest of the entourages pay. so you can see why pac has to borrow 700k from his former accountants. and i really doubt pac gets paid what arum says he pays him. pac really need to leave slob bob and become his own man.
