Pacquiao walked away with $25m and, if Koncz/Arum are completely honest with him, will get ~75% of whatever comes into Top Rank (minus whatever advances that he picked up on the fight), which may end up being $180m.
$180m, minus Arum's cut, gets Pacquiao $125m-$135m. deduct whatever advances that Top Rank gave Pacquiao for the fight, not to mention the $25m already paid to Pacquiao, and the full number maybe gets up to another ~$70m (brought in over the next two years, as the receipts roll in, likely leading to further advances being asked for, with even less money getting to Pacquiao.
