Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito!! or NO FIGHT!

Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants $ 22.5 MILLION Guaranteed for Margarito.
It has been reported by several sources that Pacquiao has demanded Bob Arum guarantee him more money than Floyd Mayweather got against Shane Mosley in May. Which According to contracts filled with The Nevada Athletic Commission was $22,500,000.
Manny "MONEY" Pacquiao wants to become the highest paid fighter in boxing, and he is now demanding Bob Arum make it happen for the Margarito fight.
According to numerous reports, Manny is asking for one dollar more Guaranteed Money than what Mayweather receive for Mosley which would be
$22,500,001.
Which now the question has to be asked, Why is Manny Pacquiao so concerned about making the exact amount Mayweather made for his last fight against Mosley, better yet he wants 1 dollar more.
Based on Pacquiao previous Guaranteed Purses, His demand of $22,500,001.
Dollars should be considered absurd.
Because as showed the figures below, he is only averaging $ 7.16 Million guranteed in his last 6 fights, and his highest Guaranteed Purse was $12 Million according to most reports.

Remind you that, in order for HBO and Top Rank to break even on that request Manny vs. Margarito would have to at least hit 1.2 Million buys which would probably net $54 Million in PPV revenue, and his gate would have to exceed $10 Million dollars.

Let's see what Bob Arums thinks about this..
:cool2:

Because if Arum denies Pacquiao's request he is basically telling Pacquiao he is not a big of draw as Mayweather, and therefore undercutting his argument that Pacquiao deserves 50% against Mayweather.

Remember Arum said Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Ali, but Arum doesnt want to pay him like Ali

I can not help but believe that Pacquiao saw the contract on Mayweather's twitter page and was like
"WTF" why isnt Bob Arum guaranteeing me $25 Million per fight !!!

real talk.

Mayweather making $22.5 on guaranteed money alone, plus PPV money, for the Mosley fight which netted him $40 according to every report must have had team Pacquiao rethinking their business model.

I can not wait to see how Bob Arum Handles this situation

Because Arum is not taking a gamble putting Pac in the ring with Margs if Pacquiao accepts less money. Because Arum would net a profit because the fight would be in house.

But if he has to guaranteed Pacquiao $22.5 Million than Arum is taking a HUGE gamble putting Pacquiao in the ring with Margs..

because he will lose so much money if the fight doesnt do huged numbers on PPV and at the Gate.

 

Well Pacquiao is finally starting to wake up after Seeing Mayweather get guaranteed $22.5 Million for Mosley + PPV+Gate..Which got Mayweather $40 Million dollars.


Arum has been telling Pacquiao and the media that he is the biggest draw ever even bigger than Ali, and now Pacquiao is telling Arum well pay me like the biggest draw ever !!!
Classic...
I can not wait to see how Arum handles this.!!
