Pacquiao to son: I'm not a coward

[HeroBando]

Career earnings: $335m
PI taxes (assuming that he actually paid them): ~32% + VAT
manager fees: 15%
trainer fees: 10%
promoter fee: 30%
total career purse advances: who knows how much

Pacquiao could've gone the way of Miguel Cotto and had some control of his own destiny. Instead, he simply smiles around the world, blowing his money on what you'd expect a person from his upbringing to blow his money on, while Arum rakes in the upside.

Pacquiao will retire and be penniless within a decade of that date.

So how did that work out for Cotto? A decent payday vs Floyd and a measly 1m to get humiliated and storm out of the ring vs Trout. Back working with TR. Theres nowhere else Pac can get 20m at this point for a run of the mill fight.

pacquiao is getting incredibly stupid right now. how can you fight someone who doesn't want to fight you? the more he expresses desperation the more TBE increases his cowardly demands. how can any normal thinking person would reward this undeserving boring duck who retired young and healthy years ago to avoid tough competition?

just STFU pacquiao and let TBE retire a duck. that in itself is a great achievement.

that's why someone close needs to tell pacquiao that he's doing it wrong. he's already winning the PR battle and doesn't have to do anything. just ignore questions about the chicken. tell pacquiao to STFU and let TBE stay looking like a duck, which he already is.

I'm afraid TBE, the retirement master, may well be rewarded with half a billion dollars as a result of his five-year long ducking. It's incredible! A duck gets rewarded with so much money.

I just hope he shares some of it to his tender, loyal loving fans.

Manny Fighting to show his son he's not a coward.
Floyd own son called him a coward. LMAO!

[Ruthless One]

Those will not be big fights if he loses to floyd. Its simple. Your product is known to be this. Its gets shown it isnt that and there goes sales. Mystique gone. Like i said its simple. Bob doesnt want to put pac in with floyd for a reason.

We can have a Pac-Floyd trilogy before the two guys retire.

U brought up only Floyd makes that. We know all that but so what. Since ur a business man when u check how much u make gross u say i dont know lets say 30k but u got expense etc etc. Everyone knows that. But the fact that u call someone making millions and millions a ***** makes it funny. U would fight or do whatever someone would ask u to do if u could make that kind of money. Especially if ur from a very very poor background.

So stop calling these rich people *****es cause 99% of boxers do what their promoters ask them to do. Are they all *****es to u? Funny guy u are lol

Broke people should never talk abt rich people decision abt their money.

Pacquiao could've easily gone the Miguel Cotto route; work with Top Rank per fight, have a trusted and sharp associate in the negotiating room, understanding how the revenues will break down, to help maximize the money that Pacquiao would actually be able to put in his own pocket.

Instead of that, Pac continues to take the short money, smile like an idiot, and continue forward while Arum profits.

if the shoe fits.

Yes we can. And even though my hopefullness has dwendled after Bobs latest excuse, i still have a glimmer of it there

and you think floyd goes home w/ the full 32M? lol. 13M of that goes to the IRS right away. he also has to pay his trainer, his team, his bodyguards' steroids

Floyd has his $32m guarantee (35% to the IRS, Haymon takes his fee, camp expenses, etc) and walks away with maybe $15m -$16m off of that.

On top of that, he gets proceeds from the gate (Mayweather rents the arena and sells the tickets through his own team), proceeds from the MGM, proceeds from the TV rights fees and the other revenue streams, and additional proceeds as the PPV residuals come in.

With him being situated in Nevada (can write off the state sales tax as a federal deduction) and his constant gambling (can write off the losses from his "gambling enterprise" as business expenses), he's likely even getting some money back from the feds.

He's keeping a lot more of his money, and bringing in significantly more, than Pacquiao is, to be sure.

Pacquiao isn't going to be poor ever again. He's a fucking Filipino politician. People who believe he's going to be penniless don't know shit about Philippine politics. He's going to be more wealthy as a politician than as a boxer.

Pacquiao is by far the wealthiest congressman in the Philippines.
