Someone explain how Bob Arum benefits putting Manny against nobodies???

[Jsmooth9876]

his win was against a 140lb....atleast Robert win was at 147lb

Like it really matters...all these dudes come in bigger then Manny and Floyd. They are the 2 smallest guys in the division on fight night with Maybe Paulie also.

Look.....Robert was a bad opponent too.....but atleast Robert has a name a fanbase.....Algeri is a complete nobody

Guerrero had a fanbase? Please tell me who that was because his buys were lower than Maidana lol.

[clmags12]

100 percent agree....since 2009 Mannys comp has gone downhill while Floyds has gone up.......

Just a quick comparison or two, after 09 Manny faced Clottey- who is a good sized WW and just previous to their match "lost" to Cotto. It wasn't Mannys fault that Clottey had to crap then shell up.
And regardless of what people think, Margarito would be a tough opponent for anyone. Style match ups are what are interesting to me. But I agree, some useless fights in there.

Compared to Algeri he has a fanbase...yes

Bob Arum is not ****** when it comes to money...he knew Manny last PPV would have bad numbers but he did it anyway...And He knows Manny VS Vargas will bomb worst.

So can someone tell me whats up Bob Arums sleeve?

Alex Ariza has already answered that question.

Bob controls the books on all Pac fights, this allows him to keep Manny in the dark about how much he should REALLY be making.

If he co-opts with a big promoter on a Pac fight, then he must open the books to more eyes, and those new eyes would know how much he is screwing Manny.

Im just saying Algeri was a horrible opponent...and Vargas is even worst....Lets not let our dislike for for Floyd make us delusional.....

Manny has to not care....im pretty sure somebody has told him about him being screwed...hell even Floyd brought it up.

And he re signs with him..Manny clearly doesnt care too much about money

I scratch my head everytime i think about Manny signing back with Arum

Philipinos have what's called "debt of gratitude" which most westerners don't even know exist, Mr. Larry sir.

[brickcityboxing]

i think he could get a greater share of the money with in-house fights?

also it raises the profile of top rank signed fighters when they fight pac

.....or keeps the fighters wanting to stay under top rank if they think they could fight pacquaio in the future

but manny got paid a lot for algeiri
23 mil guarantee not including ppv cut and back end

I would highly doubt there is any backend or ppv cut with numbers that low... I'm sure he has to hit a quota before seeing a residual.

Rios and Algeri had a combined 0 fights at ww man...and Guerrero's resume is better then both combined..that is how bad those fights were in all honesty

How many ww fights have JMM and Hatton combined when Foyd fought them?
