Pacquiao donates $18M from his fight for Philippines Typhoon Relief

[Pu·gi·list]

18M USD or 18M Pesos? I mean, Arum donated 1M as well (turned out to be like 20K USD). lol

Look at CNBC twitter
That's where it came from

It says US $18M, not pesos.

[_original_]

I don't believe it.

[TRTboy]

LOL and you believe that?

[Luilun]

Basically his entire guaranteed purse from the Rios fight. This is what I read on twitter. Classy guy with a big heart if true.

That's his whole purse after taxes, paying Arum, and Roach

[Hougigo]

its about 410K dollars

lol, i was thinking 250 instead of 25

18M USD or 18M Pesos? I mean, Arum donated 1M as well (turned out to be like 20K USD). lol

Arum is a cheap B@stard. Pacman needs to sign with GBP once his contract expires.

Kinda hard to believe that if its USD. But he's. politician so the money goes back to him anyway lol

[F!x]

Great, now he's going to make a bunch of fat charity owners millionaires, I bet most of that money is going into just a few people's pockets. What Pacquiao should have done is formed his own charity, overseeing the entire operation as chairman. That's the only way to guarantee that the people who need the money get the money.

floyd once gave a homeless guy a turkey(for the cameras). same thing.

I'd like to see all of the people who criticized Pacquiao earlier in the month when the typhoon happened. Many were saying that he should've donated a portion of his winnings to his people instead of simply talking and focusing on the fight.

This guy is seriously trying to be in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize or something.
