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

[Mr.Fantastic]

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

It means he at least tried to get others besides Vargas. He doesn't think Crawford would make it as entertaining. Can't blame him considering many of us thought Mayweather vs Pac was a shit fight. Do we actually want a repeat of that? Don't think Pac wants to which is why Vargas was the much easier choice between the two. Pac wants the excitement level to stay there for his fights. Wise of him to do so.

Pac admitted he was coming back for a money grab. Pac/Crawford is the bigger money fight. Crawford is a more offensive fighter than Floyd. It will be more entertaining than Pac/Floyd. Floyd is a nullifying action killer. Not crawford. Crawford actually goes for the KO when he has his man hurt.

And it's a smarter money grab fight to pick Vargas over Crawford as I explained why. Crawford wouldn't be as entertaining as Vargas. I like Crawford too but it's pretty obvious.

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:

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

why the hell are you posting all that for?? so you just prove your post was about pac going broke then! that was the whole point of this.

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.

I think its also because Floyd has people looking out for his interests. He did say on some radio show that because of his investments and multiple revenue streams until the day he dies he will always receive seven figure checks a month even if he never fights again. Pacquiao, on the other hand, has no one looking out for his own interests.

As much as Haymon gets hated on these forums, he always takes care of his fighters even if they are not fighting anymore.

Hopefully he prepares like it's just a money grab and Vargas knocks his ass out

I just noticed something about the article (apart from the usual ****** fan baiting) that the writer is automatically assuming Pacuiqao has lost all or most of his money. Why does he think that? All Pac is saying is that he has a lot of people he needs to help and boxing is his main income.

I'm sure there are many who are using Pacquiao for his money and his good nature, like they did with Ali all those years ago but it doesn't necessarily mean Pac has lost his fortune.

This is kinda sad.

[tangalog2200]

Fighting because he needs money is what the article is about if you read it. That is different then saying he is broke.

Please, learn to read. This has been said to you before by many others.

You take everything as a Manny diss and get all upset and then respond when it wasn't a diss at all. Grow up and stop that.

pac is not getting any younger...that's for sure...

and pac needs to fight now and in the few years he got left to box....

to get as much more $$$ he could for his needs now and for the coming years...to sustain him, his and jinkee's families, friends and his political ambitions....

P.s. pac aint losing money in the philippines, he's still a f@cking billionaire with place in a senate

He's a sneaky bastard
