    "The figures written in a Nevada contract are not necessarily the real number for big PPV guys. They get most of their money off PPV generally. So if Manny's "official" purse is $8 million fine. But he is guaranteed in his contract with Top Rank (which is not something the commission would have or release if it did) something like $20 million or whatever. The money is the money. One of the reasons for the disparity is because Manny is not a US citizen and is often paid a large amount of his money through his Filipino promotional company and deals in the Philippines for things like the television revenue there. So while it looks like a big difference it is not in reality."

    "So folks can keep on drinking the kool aid. But they dont get how the business actually works when it comes to fighters from overseas. I once covered a world title fight in Vegas with a champion from South Africa in say about 2002. His Nevada contract for a world title fight said his official purse was like $1,000. But he was making more like $50,000 because of the TV money from South Africa. You can do anything with numbers. What is written on the Nevada paper for big time fights isn't worth the paper it is written on,"

    The problem with this **** is that it makes it easy for Arum and Koncz to steal from Manny . That is a fact. So his base is 6 million for Bradley but how much has he been advance by Arum? Is Arum charging any additional fees to that advance? Also you have to look at the fact that this type of **** can get Manny caught up with tax issues as well. Oh. he is already having those issues. I bet you anything that Manny's so called guarantee already includes PPV and Arum is robbing his ass blind.

    There is a reason as to why Manny hired Vision Quest and there is a reason that Arum and Koncz had a fit over it and refused to turn over documents so that Manny's money could be traced and deemed accurate.

    :lol: A blog article by Fat Dan? This is almost as bad as him sticking up for Pac in 2010 when he ran from needles.

    The "base" isnt 6 mill. That number means nothing. They could put anything in the nevada contract. His real guarantee is something completely different. It's not as black and white as you think it is.

    This was already posted in another thread. Did this really need a whole new thread?

    Lock it down.

    And Manny still owes VQ! Does that tell you anything. And I guarantee you they're bumping Manny all the way to the bank. How do you think Arum became a Billionaire? Off the backs of fighters for 6 decades...

    True I suppose. Its just a procedure.

    Still wish he'd go it alone. Not happy with Arum the goldigger!!

    $32,000,000 for Cotto plus $18,000,000 in revenue.

    Floyd made $22,500,000 plus $17,500,000 fo rthe Shane Mosley fight at $78,000,000 in revenue and just over 1.4 million PPV buys.

    So it's logical to assume that he'll take home $18,000,000 off the PPV revenue from $94,000,000 in revenue, and 100,000 more PPV buys at 1.5 million.

    He also made $25,000,000 for Ortiz and $16,000,000 in revenue off of $78,400,000, and 1,250,000 PPV buys.

    Probably did more but we'll see when his numbers are released in the next 2-3 weeks, as to what his share is.
