    Not for himself, he uses boxing as a cash machine to fund his political ventures.
    It's still the fastest way he can raise money.
    You can't blame him, people are still buying it and it's not like he's sacrificing anything other than his time and energy.

      And his networth and properties say otherwise. He never said he was broke and needing the money. He said boxing was his primary income which it was because it gives ten million dollars in one fight. Morw than any of jis buisnesses could give. You guys are making a factual ststement of income based earning as a leverage to think he is broke. He also said thAt he didnt need the money and returns because he still loves boxing....was he lying in that too?

        Not quite ... He said he came back because he missed boxing. I think he enjoys training and the whole event atmosphere. Money also plays a part too, as it helps fund whatever he invests in. ... The guy just funded a project to build 1000 houses for poor people in his country.

        He doesn't need money for selfish reasons or because he's broke. Don't get it twisted.

          Pac view arum as a father figure besides roach since pac grew up without a father.


          I remember back in the day 2008 someone from teampac was discovered stealing cash and ***elries and pac gave the guy a second chance.

            Manny sold his soul to the devil -if you cannot see that, you are BLIND.

            Manny is just a little cog in the wheel that the ILLUMINATI play against the public - basically fix fights and steal money from people. Bob Arum must be swimming in the money stolen from Pacman, but of course he won't say anything because he's been PEDed up most of his fights.

                According to Forbes, Manny Pacquiao has earned around $500mil between boxing purses and endorsements.

                Not bad for a buy who grew up dirt poor and had to sell stolen cigarettes just to eat.

                  Manny's loyal to a fault. Manny came from literally f**king nothing, and ended up one of the highest grossing athletes in professional sports history. I think he probably feels like his life is indebted to Bob.

                    Michael konsz too....

                    Seems as though mannys finances have been a mess and konsz, as his manager, should be scrutinised . Konsz also didnt know how to properly read the medical questionnaire prior to the floyd fight
