Comments Thread For: Arum: Manny Will Donate Half His Earnings To Charity

[R_Walken]

It sucks that for the biggest financial fight in history Manny is likely to recieve penny's on the dollar of what he deserves.

Arums usually doesn't have a problem boasting about how much Manny makes but this fight he's rather silent and claims that isn't his style( Ok buddy )

No doubt some of Mannys purse will go to help others but I think it'd be a lot more money to the less fortunate if his team treated him right

But f.u.ck it his money doesn't effect me and its 2 days to the fight that's all that matters ,Can't wait

Not underestimating Pac think he has a decent chance but I think ,Floyd is going to lay a beat down come Saturday

Flomos will find a way to make this a bad thing

And then they will defend woman-beating.

When you're in mountains of debt and have a huge entourage, yes, it's a very bad thing. ****** actually.

Manny is destined to end up like his hero Rocky, with nothing to show for the fruits of his labor.

Isn't his cut 80 mil guaranteed before PPV and gate?

yes it's suppose to be that's what he taking home after everyone get they cut ppv check will come later

Having read zero of this thread I'm just going to assume we can all be human beings and agree that this is a really great thing. Right guys? Right?

[bambam182]

pac is going to wind up broke and after he does no one will hang out with him and no one will donate him ****, just like ali, everyone forgot about ali and louis etc etc. where was the entourage of chavez, hagler etc etc. when the cash is gone no reason to hang around anymore.

Pac is a good guy and i know he will do something, unfortunately Arum will make sure that the so called "donation" will land in his pocket...

[JJRod]

Half is pretty insane.
A mighty nice gesture by Pac.
Not that I have it, but if I did I don't know if I would be able to donate that much.

You're an idiot.

dude, Pacs the idiot here. Pac had no clue what was said in these negotiations and knowing Bob Arum, its not far fetched that Pac pulls in a total $40mil after all is said in done. What im curious to know is whats up with that $80mil "guarantee" plus ppv upside? Was Pac supposed to get that or Bob? Pacs getn a$25mil check when this is $300mil event

I believe he and Floyd's numbers in the media are projections. I thought he was guaranteed $80 mil for the fight but that he would get compensated the same way as he always does-his "guarantee" then he gets the rest after everything is tabulated (and arum gets his cut).

[Nomadic]

I guess after taxes, legal fee's, and Arum's half, 25 mil is all you get out of 80. No wonder he didn't accept MW offer of 40 mil.
