    3 of my favourite boxers here but wow Shane is getting butt f0cked....he has had some great performances he deserves better.

    wow @ Pac man jeeze something doesn't look right with those numbers! he had double the fights of floyd and had triple the sponsors and only earned 9 million more?

    You know Arum is the reason (and GBP) is the reason he is losing out big time!

    People dont laugha bout it because they dont believe he gets paid more for it, they laugh about it when he uses it as an excuse to not fight someone.

    Interviewer: "So why not Shane Mosley?"
    Floyd: "You see Floyd Mayweather is his own boss, Shane has a boss and when they fight, Shane owes GBP. Shanes gotta be his own boss" - WTF?!?

    Of course he convienently uses it to evade questions...but lots of people on here are also under the illusion that Goldenboy is to him what Arum is to Pac. That what I was getting at.

    In a sense they represent him but are to taking the 25% that Arum gets...

    Surprisingly low number for Pacquiao. With the year he had you would think he did over $100M between all the big fights, endorsements, movies, ect.

    Yea floyd does use the "I'm my own boss thing to avoid questions, it's kind of stupid" but to be honest a lot of people do laugh at him when he says it in the correct context.

    But obviously you dont have to be a genious to see there is some truth in what he is saying!

    I'm quite sure he hasnt earned 100M in his career...

    Shows that when Floyd says he is his own boss, he aint lying. Also when he says Pac should leave Arum, he isn't lying either! However the most shocking figure is Mosleys earning, my man is a real OG' and he needs to get paid!

    This has nothing to do with how much money the guy makes. It shows how big they are when it comes to popularity, endoresment value, marketablity, in the USA. If it was just money, Cotto would be over Mosley. But Mosley has mainstream appeal, thus he is on the list.

    Also Shane had 1 fight in 2009 at Margarito. A non PPV fight.

    Very impressive. This was after everyone was saying he was going broke. Lol, damn that's crazy. Pac needs to renegotiate. He's gettin' royally ****ed in all holes to be only making 9 mil more than Mayweather when he had more fights, and on his last fight with Cotto did better PPV #s then Mayweather/Marquez. Damn...

    I think that's why he doesn't care if people laugh.. As he says.. he's in the check cashing business.
