    Maybe. What we do know is that Marquez was offered 750k for an immediate rematch and when he declined his relationship with Top Rank soured to the point that they failed to put up the minimum 50K purse for his next mandatory which led to him losing his title and leaving Top Rank. Arum was never too chummy with Marquez I don't think.

    So you're saying the money fighters are with Arum. How does a hated man pull this off? Maybe he earns that money he takes from fighters by actually working hard to promote them?

    So great fights can be had outside of Arum's realm. What were the total PPV numbers for these fights?

    “The main reason why VQ was hired to look into the missing money was because Manny believed that his fight promoter was not paying him his fair share,” a recent press release, distributed by Michael Lodge, President and CEO of VisionQwest Resources Group, stated. It also shockingly revealed that prior to their involvment, the financial records of the 8-divison world championwere in complete disarray, simply made up of hand-written notes, a series of unorganized emails, and six boxes of receipts. According to the press release, up until VisionQwest was hired in 2010, Pacquiao’s taxes were handled by several different accountants who “simply plugged in numbers supplied by Michael Koncz into the taxation forms and filed them with the IRS”. Evidently, as Pacquiao’s popularity, and more importantly his income, continued to grow, a red flag was raised that prompted the IRS to audit his taxes for the years 2006 and 2007. At that point, Team Pacquiao reached out to VisionQwest to help resolve their tax issues.

    Way to shift the goal posts, though I'd note Berto-Ortiz was one of the highest-rated fights of the year on HBO.

    Top Rank, even with Arum's vendettas, is still the best promoter in the game. There are very few 'real' promoters, boxing needs more.
