Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Guaranteed At Least $20 Million For Broner Bout

[millcitymauler]

Seriously? compare 20 half of which he is paying taxes he owed. For a full 12 round championship bout which he trained 6 to 8 weeks for. vs 9 million floyd got for an exhibition bout which didnt last 1 round and he didnt even train for?

Floyd is on a whole different earning level than Manny. After getting slept by JMM, and a loss to the Hornet, and being 40 years old, it’s amazing he’s clearing that kind of money. Glad to see Manny wiping the slate clean with the taxman. Say what you want about Haymon, but if you’re on his good side, you’re getting paid.

Some thought Pacman was going to be fighting for $5-7 million L-O-L.

No chance it was going to be under $10 million.

This PPV has to do around 500k buys to even have a chance to break even. But with SHO's increased budget, good chance they will put up $5 or so million up for the fight. May end up having to pay more depending on how the PPV does.

So THIS is what Hearn was talking about when he said Pacman was talking crazy money with the PBC lol.

But it's what he deserves. Good for him.

People still defending Arum after all these years? It's truly remarkable. A plague on a boxer's purse since he got into the game.

That extra "15%" disclosed in the lawsuit is criminal. Not to mention the manager kickbacks.

I wonder if Pac will thank God or Al Haymon first

[Scipio2009]

More than double what Floyd made in his last fight...

... in a three-round exhibition against a 122lb kickboxer with zero boxing experience.

Missed a bit

But but but Eddie Hearn “doe” (as the British white nationalists say)......but but but Anthony Joshua is the biggest star in the game “doe” (since y’all are fond of throwing shade at black Americans with that).....so what happened? Seems like haymon is getting Manny PAID

[Scipio2009]

Pac will pay the IRS but would not pay BIR that's why he sided with Duterte, what a jerk.

Lol, is Pacquiao really not going to repay that owed $80m to his country (taxes plus fees, but also assuming that Pacquiao paid no tax in the US on the money in question; Marquez 2, Diaz, Oscar, and I believe Hatton and Cotto)?

And he's supposed to run for President of the Philippines at some point?

Haymon isn't giving Pacman this type of payday without feeding him to Spence next. I mean if Mayweather wants the rematch then obviously that is next, but if not? Then Haymon will want to increase Spence's stardom and increase his popularity.

That is of course if he beats Mikey.

[HURTFEELINGS]

this prove alot, you hate Haymon for giving pac 20mil buy love when arum robs him

Some people "move the goalposts" because of lack of color or lack of balls. Stop crying

[Scipio2009]

Many people will come on here and criticize what you say. But that is a very fair statement you made.

Mayweather Jr can only make one real large payday as in the past. And that is with a Manny Pacquiao win on Saturday and a rematch.

I earnestly think that people truly have no idea the scope of money that Floyd has earned from boxing, before you even count any money he could've made on his money by listening to Al.

Floyd had at least $123m, in hand and in cash, before fighting Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in 2013 (with Floyd likely getting $75m of the likely $100m that that fight cleared). Even if you assumed that Floyd walked into that fight with nothing (and you ignored the Big Boy mansion, the residences in Miami and LA, the spot in New York, the ton of rental/real estate owned everywhere, or any money invested elsewhere), after paying everything he needed to pay, Floyd ended the year with $175m in cash to his name!

And that's before you count the $300m+ that he picked up for the Pacquiao fight, the $300m+ that he got for the McGregor fight, or the $100m+ that he got from the Maidana fights and the Berto fights. Taxes and the rest of it will chip into the count, but Floyd, from the $123m and Alvarez fight on, likely ended up with $700m+ in cash for his career to his name!

Floyd will happily pick off $9m paydays to fight flyweight novices in boxing exhibitions, but why would he ever have to step back into the ring for a serious fight, even against a passed-it Pacquiao, when he's had sharp people minding his affairs, the stuff he's kept his money in has been largely vanilla, he owes no real debts anywhere, he owns basically everything he uses already, has never been married, and he can still make appearance fees for six figures a night?
