Damn......

Leeches......

The guy is making upwards of $100 million dollars in this fight -- let him have his ridiculous entourage. And while I agree he is glaringly reckless with his money, I think he'll be fine financially, primarily for two reasons:

1) The Philippines is a third-world country, and USD money goes a long way (just think, remittances from foreign workers are like the second biggest contributor to the Philippines' GDP).
2) Manny Pacquiao will be President in 2022.

Arum wasn't lying when he said Pacquiao is the welffare system of the philippines lol.

But I always wondered why there was like 100 to 200 hanger ons in the park watching him shadow box, Pacman probably pays them more than what they were making so they just leech off him.

I heard he gave away from 100 to 200 thousand every time he has a weight loss challenge, and he gives you 300 bucks on temptation night to drop out of the race, over 100 people dropped out all pocketing 300 bucks.

he will have to pay millions to the corrupt system over there not counting the money he will have to dish out for military protection and such country will leech off him to until he piss poor

Politicians hate him there, they steal from donations from people in America, and Pac said politicians are servants and should provide for the poor and help supply jobs. Pac buys fishermans boats and ****, these politicos want to take all his money.

Roach said he worries about Pac because he feels after Pac retires they might try to assassinate Manny because they look at Manny as a threat to their corrupt system of stealing money.

If I were Manny I would just run for president and sign over the Philippines to the USA

[SN!PER]

100 is just child's play to Pacman.

Once he becomes President, he'll have his own army.

I don't doubt that you may ultimately be correct. However, I have been following his tax case in the Philippines (glad to say I can understand tagalog), and I really don't think it's as bad as people on this forum like to think it is. The BIR (the Philippines' IRS) is saying that he essentially paid no taxes on his earnings in 2008 or whenever. Most people in the Philippines seem to understand that the BIR is really overstepping their boundaries, and I think the reason is because they're using Pacquiao as an example to all tax-payers in the Philippines.

And about the leeches, you have to again understand how the peso works, and the disparity between rich and poor in the Philippines. Even the maids have maids in the Philippines. Kinda messed up. Pacquiao is one of the richest Filipinos in the world right now. I don't think he'll be a Joe Louis (might bite my hat on that in a few years, but again, I think he'll be President one day).
