The mikey garcia suit and the claim that arum pays less that what he tells the public made me think..... Going through records which are accessible to all ( nsac boxing pursese ) it shows pacquiao get a fraction of what arum said he makes. 11/12/11 - vs. Juan Manuel Marquez - $6,000,000 * 05/07/11 - vs. Shane Mosley - $6,000,000 11/14/09 - vs. Miguel Cotto - $7,400,000 05/02/09 - vs. Ricky Hatton - $7,400,000 12/06/08 - vs. Oscar De La Hoya - $6,600,000 06/28/08 - vs. David Diaz - $3,000,000 03/15/08 - vs. Juan Manuel Marquez - $3,000,000 10/06/07 - vs. Marco Antonio Barrera - $2,000,000 11/18/06 - vs. Erik Morales - $3,000,000 01/21/06 - vs. Erik Morales - $2,000.000 At the time floyd offered manny $40m, he had never made $10m In a fight.
It only means 50/50 could have gone to uncle bap with manny getting 10.5m had the mayweather fight happened.
The amount that is filed with the commission is the amount that the fighter must be paid on the night of the fight. I guess Top Tank doesn't like dishing out a large amount of money at once. As a result, what they file with the commission is a much lower amount than is quoted as the fighter's guaranteed purse. Now I can't tell you what Pacquiao is really being paid, but what I wrote is the given reason why the amount on file is much lower than the quoted guaranteed amount.
Make up your mind ? about what exactly I told you I like both fighters and for me 50/50 was fair. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/chris_mannix/05/14/Mayweather-Pacquiao-latest/
My point is the 50/50 offer was fair hence the reason Floyd accepted it because he knew himself it was fair you think Floyd would accept 50/50 for any tom dick and harry ? bar Dela hoya Manny was the only other fighter getting 1 mill buys so he deserves that split.
Would it be fair if Bradley, Cotto, marquez or Margarito asked Manny for 50/50? Or was it just right since Manny was the bigger draw? Just wondering
