    bad money management, especially a guy like pac who is surrounded by leeches and has arum robbing him as well, he should end up safe though.

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out that paying all expenses for 50 people starts to add up quickly. 100K here, 100k there, you can only do that for so long.

    Hmm first Floyd with his IRS (saw that coming) and now Pac with his leeches (saw that coming too)

    Why cant superstar boxers be like B-hop and actually learn real stuff outside the ring

    Do any of Pac's business advisers actually give him any advice, or is everyone out to get his funds? We know Arum is collecting and Pac has a lot of obligations but you have to be smarter than that, and take care of your business. Pac has been naive when it comes to business and promoters and other leeches love that so that they could take full advantage.

    I don't believe Pac is really broke, but could wind up like that and lose most of his wealth. There's still time for Pac to change things thought and wise up. Get rid of all useless things, invest, and make sure your future is secure in the long run. You don't want to end up a broke and damaged old boxer, and since that has happened to a lot, you gotta learn from it and take your finances very seriously.

    I could see this being true, but Roach does talk a lot of ****. Why would he make this up though? I feel for Pac man, he tried to help all his people and ****, but mother ****ers suck him dry. Nice guys really do finish last.

    Pac has 2-3 big fights left in him, that should make him a few million.

    I dont beleive it. Coach Freddy is just daring Manny to give him a raise. Its like people said Manny couldnt win out of his weight class. And he won to prove them wrong.

    He just needs to assess his financial situation, and minimize his liabilities.

    One thing I think is that most boxers who make it big don't know how to tone down their lifestyle once they're not the kings of the TV anymore, and end up overspending. And if you're having problems WHILE you're big, then problems will be that much more inflated later on.

    It would be sad to see someone who has accomplished so much in their careers lose almost all their money. I think Pac's political cronies in the Philippines could ultimately be the ones to drain his funds the most.

    He is going broke cause he is not very bright, lets everyone control his every move like a puppet. Oh well, who knows if his post fight career can be as profitable as Mike Tyson, after his sob story gets tiring... anyways he will always be cool in Pilipines.
