    Who said anything about Arum robbing Pac? If it wasn't for Arum and Top Rank's promotion of Pacquiao, he would NOT be as big in the media as he is today. Arum deserves everything he takes from Mr. Pacquiao so no, I don't believe he's robbing Pacquiao. As folks have said, Pacquiao makes some money (not the bulk of it) outside of boxing, so he has revenue coming in independent of Arum.

    And yes, Arum is ultimately in the way. Pacquiao doesn't make the decisions when it comes to his fights, he's not a fighter who says I want him, him and him. He just knocks down who's put in front of him by Arum. So at the end of the day, it would be Arum and Mayweather discussing the particulars of any mega fight, not Pacquiao and Mayweather.

    You do know Arum once promoted Floyd right? How come Floyd was never as loved as Pac is? :hi:

    Mayweather and Arum, for the 10 years they were together (96-06), were apparently in disagreement most, if not all the time, on which direction Floyd's career was going to go. Arum doesn't have to worry about all of that with Pacquiao, Manny for the most part, does what he is suggested by Arum and Top Rank to do.

    Financially, you can't argue that Floyd didn't make the smart move by splitting with Arum and owning his own promotion. He just makes so much more money every event, so ultimately, if you can live without the "love", it's a fair trade off.

    ehhh, usually i dont bother with these obvious troll threads for PacWeather by alts...

    according to this site, http://www.bukisa.com/articles/327812_the-highest-paid-athletes-2010, Pacquiao earned $40Million in 2010. To be fair, Mayweather earned $60Million in 2010, as reported by Sports Illustrated.

    I dont think either these men are really hurting for money. Haters and *****-asses talk like they know the other guy's finances, as if they're a true hardcore fan. Its laughable and sad altogether...

    Source or STFU. You smell as though you hail from Trolland and therefore are not to be trusted. With that said, I definitely believe the parts about him gambling(cultural thing) and trusting advisors too much with his money but I just refuse to believe that he is some serial adulterer until you state your source newb.

    If you include the PPV revenue, I'm positive he made that amount when he fought Cotto and Hatton.

    One thing is certain, both PBF and Manny will lose sometime and retire then all the *****s and *******s and trolls (i think thats what they are referred to) will realise what they under appreciated when it was around.

    Two amazing fighters and true top 30 ATG in my generation.

    Pac :happy
    PBF :happy
