[Curt Henning]

geeeezzz...thats alot of scratch for a fight i dont see doing all that well

almost makes me think theres something behind a pac/floyd rematch...which i dont wanna see at all even though ive always been a big floyd fan and ive seen manny fight live a few times...

but for pac to be getting that kind of bread for a fight like this you have to wonder if there some flame to the rematch rumors

I bet you manny will thank al Haymon before he thanks god in his post fight interview.

[OgTripleOg]

Damn manny got paid for this one. Glad he is with PBC he looks alot happier.

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.

If Spence beats Mikey, I still don't think that he fights Pacquiao next, tbh.

Haymon is walking Pacquiao out the game like a gangster though. Locked in the settlement agreement with the Feds, putting a structure in place that saves Pacquiao from Pacquiao (near all of the first check covers Pacquiao's obligations, with the second into his account; no advances on the deal), and will likely fight the just-returned after a long hiatus Keith Thurman for another likely $20m+.

He somehow gets the win in that fight, and you likely see Spence-Pacquiao for the WBC/WBA/IBF 147lb titles in a blockbuster that maybe gets Pacquiao a $40m purse.

Still, on just the two fights, Pacquiao settles the US federal tax bill, ends up with a decent haul of money to settle his tax bill at home with the BIR, and he can simply live off of the Mayweather check and any other money/assets that he had already saved up.

The fight likely needs 500k buys, with Pacquiao already having name value on PPV, and Broner having a good profile in his own right.

Not as out there as one would think

After all the chit talk from AB I have a feeling after the fight he'll feel AV almost vegetable.

Pac is still the top draw at welterweight.

Top draw but not the top dog but that’s the best u are going to get at his age

[Jsmooth9876]

This is why we will see Pac vs Thurman or Spence vs Garcia winner. Nobody passes up 20 million

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?

Oh, you are Floyd's accountant? Dude this is the most terrible post you ever made. Counting another man's money.

You truly put the fan in fanatic.

Disgusting.
