Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao in High Demand, Says Bob Arum

[HeGotPacProblem]

So you think Pac is going to make equivalent to what he makes now with out boxing? Meanwhile the only NON boxing income pac made was 800k. You can listen to 50 cent all you want, but a simple google search you will find Mayweather has 3 known public investments, a tech company, his own promotion, and his own apparel company. You will also find that Mayweather has a team of financial experts, and that Mayweather has meetings with some of the wealthiest investors in America, which would indicate that he may be a silent investor. Mayweather has also said on many occasions that he has invested money to help people start companies. So what this comes down to is are you repeating what everyone else says with no truth to it, or are you ill informed.

Wheres your source that Pac's only income outside is 800k? Find that very hard to believe.

Forbes i posted the link in my first comment. Now I know Philippine government is very corrupt so there is probably some undeclared monies somewhere. Pac could also be a private investor but his high profile image of a christian good boy the antithesis to Mayweather's image, would not make sense for him to be a silent investor.

Nice to cherrypick just last years figures to fit your agenda. He's made millions in endorsements prior to last year.

This is just 2013...

Im sure his tax problems has a lot to do with his endorsement $ and him fighting in Macau (12% taxes vs. 39% US rate). He can make a lot of money outside of boxing. If he can spend $7 million for his run for Congress, he's doing alright.

That old dirt bag Bob Arum played a key role in one of the greatest eras in boxing. Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns were all considered the best of their generation and they all fought each other, none of that would have been possible without Bob Arum.

Class dismissed.

Now, now. Don't be coming up in here and dropping facts. *****s hate facts!

Your revealing not only a very one sided view but also your lack of knowledge. Pac has seen his best endorsement days. his endorsements will not hit the peaks that they once did. It is the process of an ageing athlete. Endorsements do not grow as an athlete is ending his career, they shrink. only a few athletes experience the Jordan treatment after retirement and Pac is not one of them.

You say "If he can spend $7 million for his run for Congress, he's doing alright." Mayweather is one of the only "active" athletes in the world to have a bank account that sits above $123 million, (The other being Tiger Woods) which he only adds to, and doesn't touch. As I said, the numbers dont lie, Mayweather is currently in a better retirement position then Pac.

Yeah man, he is the worst boxing promoter ever. He ain't no Al Haymon and never will be.

I can't wait for the day for Haymon to actually become a legit promoter and finally build a guy from the ground up. So far, he is a scavenger. He waits until the product is already made, then comes in makes them sign their soul over, and don't ever forget to thank him!

You're only basing outside income with "endorsement money." You do realize that Pac makes more money outside of endorsements right? He's a national hero in his country. Where is his income and perks for being a Congressman in that figure?He can make a movie about his life made for theaters in the US. You can brag about Floyd's bank account all you want like you're part of his groupie, but that income is not going to be there forever as it's from his boxing earnings. He really doesn't have much income outside of boxing. Even 50 cent revealed that after their break up. I'll take 50's take over yours or anyone's here anyday.

Sure take the word of a man who got shot three times in the face for snitching on his own friends to save himself. Forbes includes all external income as endorsements, they are not going to break down every little detail. This is the problem I have with Fans like you, it really doesnt matter what "FACTS" you are given, even from a highly reputed newspaper no less. Hes a national icon in the Philippines (deserved), but he is not an icon in America or anywhere else for that matter. In the Asian communities probably, but that was free TV it remains to be seen if they would buy a closed circuit. His Movie is a low budget docu drama that he paid for himself. LMAO at the fact you trying to dish it off as some kind of blockbuster, Like Will Smith in ALi, CRAZY!!!! Meanwhile you and the rest of the Saint-Pac choir are the ones that brought up the money in the first place, I just pointed out facts to you that can been easily found on the internet, if your not too busy trolling. Yet you and the rest would prefer to listen to a man who barely leaves his mansion for fear of being killed due to the phony persona he developed while getting his friends arrested. 50 cent is what qualifies as truth to you and a number of idiots like you.

Go take a walk son, your Kung-Fu is no where near mine.

Im done with you and your ALT.

Oh yeah and if Arum was so important to Ali how come you never see an Arum character in any of Ali's movies. You always see Don King but never Arum. SMH that says alot now doesnt it? I mean the Guy supposedly Promoted Ali for 12 years, yet he is not in one scene, whats up with that?
