Comments thread for: Pacquiao admits return to boxing is a money grab

[MPX309]

I have to ask. . . "Where has his moneyyyy gonee?" . . . OKEY, I know Arum's probably fleecing the poor SOB, but this isn't Thurman, Porter purses we're talking about. Pac makes over 20m a fight and the Mayweather fight on top.

Funny how it's always people who assumed Floyd would be the one to go skint.

that doesn't mean I think he is going broke you imbecile. did you read the article the TS posted? if you did then you'd understand the post is about what Manny said about why he will keep fighting.

you responded to me in anger assuming it was me saying Manny was broke asking "does it mean floyd is going broke too?"

Read the article. Re read the post. The fuck off.

"if he would sign with haymon or Floyd he could have make good money and be able retired"

Explain that then.

And im posting out of anger? Look at your post compare to mines lol!

You are so ****** that I actually have to explain the sentence to you? ok.

It means he can make good money fighting Broner and Floyd and then retire.

implying that he's not making good money and he cant retired!! helllloooooo?????

how can he make good money fighting broner if he leave arum? he was getting a minimum of $20mil per fight against anybody. how much is haymon's top fighter getting per fight? grow the hell up, how old are you to be acting like this?

No, stating that he can retire for good and not have to fight to make money as he indicated in the article which you still haven't read.

He has renegotiated the $20-25 mil guarantees down significantly did you not see those tweets?

Here is the article the TS posted below:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/manny-pacquiaos-returning-to-boxing-and-thats-just-sad-201340898.html

But the truly sad news here is that Pacquiao, who made more than $100 million to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2015, is fighting because he needs the money.

Here is another article the above has a link to:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-reason-why-manny-pacquiao-ended-his-brief-retirement-2-182557853.html

It is not known whether Pacquiao will continue his boxing career after his fight with Vargas, but he did make it clear that the reasons for his return are financial.

“Boxing is my main source of income. I can’t rely on my salary as a public official,” Pacquiao said.

He’s made a lot of money during his career, including somewhere in the ballpark of $150 million when he fought Mayweather last May. Apparently, that windfall of money isn’t enough considering how much Pacquiao wants to help his home country.

“I’m helping the family of my wife and my own family, as well. Many people also come to me to ask for help, and I just couldn’t ignore them.”

Read these, if you can. Then read my post. If you still do not understand so be it.

Big Pac supporter here but I won't be buying this PPV. I can't support a half azz money grabbing fight when Crawford was there for the choosing!

He didn't have to pick Crawford. Both Garcia and Broner didn't want it. Shame cause it's no longer about glory with boxers.

What does Broner or Garcia not wanting it have to do with Pac turning down Crawford in favor of Vargas?

[Kuyukut]

how come fraud fans hatin' on pac just because he is dabbling in the bidniz of making money?
