Few million more to get flattened a round earlier? Nah, Manny's fine. He's had a great career and a fine legacy, although it came crashing back to earth over the past year.
Pacquiao had not only been outclassed by Marquez in the 3rd fight and lost a fight with Bradley, but he was dropped below 5th on the P4P lists, and wasn't the #1 anything for months.
Pacquiao was not making anywhere close to what Mayweather was KEEPING, and he wasn't generating close to the numbers Mayweather was .. which is why Arum wouldn't release those numbers.
If you think Pacquiao is pocketing $30 million then you are smoking that A-side meth. Emmanuel would be lucky to take home 15million after Arum and Golden Boy raid his pockets.
The $40 million was guaranteed to go into Pacquiao's pockets, not Arum's.
But that doesn't matter now, does it?
And I'll wager that a fifth fight between JMM and Pacquiao won't break any records. That's wishful thinking from fanboys and cult members.
If that were the case, a rematch with Bradley would have been ultra lucrative.
Less and less people care about Pacquiao because he doesn't perform the same as when he's fighting drain WWs.
And guess what?
People came out tonight to see if the old Pacquiao would show up, not for Marquez. This is the third fight in a row where Manny looked average. Coincidentally its the third fight in a row where Manny fought a smaller man who could box AND move at the same time.
No one needs to see confirmation of what happened tonight. It was more decisive than any of the previous 3 fights.
Let's see the numbers of how well this fight did. Another fight might do better than this one because of the KO, but people generally have already seen enough.
are you & reloaded twins?
no, pac was outstanding in this fight. he just got caught by a strong punch (not typical of jmm's)
