Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser: No Extension Signed For Bradley Deal

[BuckToothed]

I think it is weird how Arum and Koncz always claim that Pacquaio is guaranteed $20 million per fight, but when a real journalist does some research and gets a copy of the contract from the state athletic commission, the contract always says Pac is guaranteed $5-6 million.

Pac's arrangement with TR is something like 45% to MP Promotions, 27.5% to TR/Arum and 27.5% to Pacquiao.
27.5% of $20m is around $5.5m which is most likely reported to the commission as his purse (which is not the same as guarantee).

Arum claims that Pac does this for tax purposes... The same tax purpose that got Pac in trouble, lol.

He should leave them for more than just one guy. At TR he has only one guy and hes fighting him next

I agree. I would love to see him against maybe Thurman and Garcia next year but sometimes guys are just loyal to the people they came up with. I'm more surprised with Bradley resigning because he's an American and should know the politics and what lies on the other side for him if he left but I guess he got the guaranteed $$ he was looking for on a per fight basis. Sad that if he wins against Manny we won't see him Vs Floyd because of the Bob Arum factor.

Yeah, just like a hyped up Rios and Provodnikov. It only takes one win to be in consideration to fight the top dog.

So you are all hyped up with Rios? Provodnikov? What they do have is heart, drive, can be dangerous opponent for some fighters and entertaining but nobody says that they are great. Not even sure why you brought up those names? They get "some" hype due to their styles but nothing more than that.

I'm sure that you already forgot but Rios was Manny's option #3!!! Bradley and Marquez were #1 & #2 options but both declined. Imagine, after being put to sleep, Manny wanted to get back at it with the same guy .....

This time around, Floyd said he was not interested so Manny picked Bradley which is a great #2 option.

My point is that people were also paying to see Cotto and Oscar and Margarito, not just Pacquiao. Floyd can't say people weren't paying to see Oscar, Cotto, and Canelo! Neither can Pacquiao!

Agree! Oscar was the Cash Cow by the time he fought Floyd and Pac.
