    No.

    If I was at 154 I would CONSIDER singing with GBP.

    Any other division ESPECIALLY 147 I'm going to PBC.

    :lol: **** no. Dude takes 30% out of Mannys purse. Not that he would take the same out of mine if i was a fighter but i would try and steer clear.

    FYI, did you know that Pacquiao, after taxes, takes home less than 20% of his purse.

    Again answer is it depends. If I was a welterweight then no. Any other weight I'd lean to a yes.

    Ive heard TR pays well for prospects. And they do have strong connections with HBO.
    Now if one wants to get out of a contract... things get complicated.

    Not with his stable right now, I'd enjoy rematches and maybe being the cash cow since Pacquiao won't be around for too many more years.
