CBS owns showtime smart guy

Showtime is a subsiary of CBS; the fact that you can't square that in your own mind is hilarious.

Do you have proof of him taking home only 7 mil or are you just talking out your ass?

$25m purse, Top Rank takes their cut, BIR takes their 30% in taxes, Koncz takes the manager's 15%, Roach takesthe trainer's 10%, the remaining camp expenses are paid, and Pacquiao has to pay back the advance money that he received from Arum (chartering a plane and accommodations for a 300 person entourage in Macau probably didn't come cheap).

Actaul number may not even be $5m, with all the folks with their hands in the pot.

It's funny how y'all talking isn about Oscar and Arum but the UAE saying they're putting up the bread. Looks like this fight will be made. Fingers cross though. I'll believe it when I see them in the ring.

The rumored UAE deal is directly through Mayweather Promotions/(Al Haymon), with no mention of Bob Arum or Oscar De La Hoya.

what are you talking about?
