Floyd, Manny or any elite level boxer bringing in a lot of money is having a lot of cats touching his money besides promoters. If you got the most trustworthy promoter in the world that doesn't mean some other cat (manager, friend you put on, random business associates, etc.) won't try to fleece or hustle you for $$$.

You must admit the more fun story for most people is the guy who makes millions upon millions & goes broke & not the guy who's highly successful but not on the millions upon millions level or the guy who's struggling along who while good is never making 6 digit purses his entire career & ill prepared to be a "regular job" type guy.

I think we can all agree that Manny has the worst deal in boxing, Bob Arum is clearly taking him for a ride just like Don King did to Iron Mike.
The problem is Manny is not smart enough to realise it.
I hope he gets away from that crew of leeches.
Fraud on the other hand, what does he have? A mediocre promotional company who'll get taken from him when Haymon, Sheaffer and Ellerbie want like the they almost did Oscar. No investments, endorsements, no tv gigs, no movie gigs, no music career, and a huge gambling problem. He's also too dumb to go into politics or do anything else. Can you imagine him on tv color commenting on a fight and stuttering the whole time? He's f***ed when he leaves boxing for good.

I say good for manny if this is actually his last fight. I expected arum to keep him around much longer and turn into James toney. But if he keeps fighting then yea I think he'll be fuked in the future

Originally posted by Death_Adder View PostFraud will end up broke way before Pac does. In fact I don't ever see Pac ever ending up broke. He lives like a king in the Phillipines, he can put his face on any product and make him a few million. He's also got his political career, movies and music.
