This is straight from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. For all you doubting Thomas', you can email them directly at boxing@boxing.nv.gov. Fighter salaries are available to the public in the state of Nevada.
Some of you already knew this, but Pac's purse was only 6 million (this doesn't include ppv revenue). What's surprising is Marquez made 5 million. Why is Arum shitting all over Pacquiao and ripping him off?
Just for comparison, I've included Floyd Mayweather's purse from the Ortiz fight. Mayweather's purse was 25 million (again not including ppv revenue) and he's only slightly more popular than Pacquiao. What gives?
This is why I found it strange that people were shocked at Pacquiao accepting less money. He's used to getting ripped off. Below are screenshots of my personal email.
