    So he says. His guarantee against Mosley was 22.5mil. Are you saying he made 37.5mil from ppv revenue alone? :lol:

    He is, but he's also been known to lie about his purses. He said he made $70mil against Mosley and $20mil for his WWE appearance. You believe that?

    He was the 2nd highest paid athlete in the world for that one fight.

    That maybe true, but he did not make nowhere near 60-70mil for that one fight.

    That maybe true aswell, but Floyd also blows most his money unlike Pacquiao. Plus, what you have to consider is the fact that $1US = 43pesos. You do the math. Pac is a billionaire in the Philippines. :deal

    How is it that you make almost 100mil for fights with Oscar and Hatton, then have to borrow 10mil from GBP 2yrs later?

    That's great. My money will go a lot farther when I get to Cebu City later this year.

    Even though those numbers are exaggerated, lets hope he's smarter this time around with his money. He made that type of money in 2007 for fights with Hatton and Oscar, then had to return in 09 to borrow money from Oscar to settle some tax issues.
