    Hmmm... why is Manny coming back to the US if according to you his salary triples over there?

    By the way, all that imaginary money you counting is going in Arum's pockets. Not Manny's. From what we saw his guarantee didnt go up. PPVs arent being sold so he doesnt get extra from that. We have no info on Manny getting a cut of the gate. Yes pays less taxes and thats always nice. Is that all?

    So him being Jesus Christ over there means what exactly?

        If it weren't for Canelo this whole deal would have been a complete and utter failure.

            Mayweather is likely looking at a guarantee of around $200 million for the six-fight deal. Pay-per-view revenues will push that total past $250 million.

                  Unless you have an article about actual figures everything you're saying is just is irrelevant. Manny isn't Chinese, the Chinese really don't give a **** about Manny, they care about Shiming. A lot of the people they attract in Macao are Philippines who make the trip to Macao since it's so much closer.

                  I haven't read anything about Chinese PPV numbers so if you got any facts, please share them.

                  There's a reason Manny hasn't fought in the Philippines since he became a superstar, it's a poor country that financially can't compete. Yes he can sell 100k tickets but it will be at $10 dollars a pop instead of selling 14k tickets at $500 a pop.

                    Shotime may have loss revenue on the 2 Maidana fights even maybe the Guerrero fights the Canelo fight with 2.2 buys largest gate ever and much.more than made up for losses

                      i'd highly doubt if even sesame street channel will accept fraud jr to feature his remaining fights.

                      a fraud will always be a fraud...
