    Is the 27% claim true? If so, then why would he sign with Top Rank?

    Did Arum show him TWO briefcases full of 1 dollar bills?

    because Arum can get him bigger fights worth more money than any other promoter is the only reason I can think of. Pac is still one of the ten richest athletes on the planet so Arum can't be screwing him that badly.

    Well, he' been brought up by Arum, and must know that all promoters bone their fighters hard, so probably decided to stick with the devil he knows.

    apparently Floyd Mayweather Jr. knows more about Pacquiao's account books than his own.:-(

    Floyd, pay up that 300 dollar garbage bill that you owe to Nevada Republic

    Top Rank is making tons of money on pac vs cotto because they promote both fighters. Cotto and Pac are both being screwed. Top rank blows.

    who cares? Pac is still earning millions. Even if you remove the 27% from his purse, he's still earning a lot!

    Well look at it like this
    Minus 27%
    Minus the money he gives his 12 deciples that follow him everywhere
    Minus Roach's 15%
    Minus all the money he gives to the filipino people
    Minus the house he just purchased that decreased in value millions
    Thats alot of minuses only having fought once this year.

    Give me a job that gives a million dollars...just a million! not even half of what Pac is getting?! Remember, Pac has multiple endorsements and NIKE is one of them...Keep your employees happy and they will work for you whole heartedly! Pac is still ranked as a top 10 highest paid athlete. Sharing your fortunes is not a bad thing.:hey

    He made what 12 million in 2 rounds vs hatton.. then he'll make another 10-15 million for cotto fight? that's over 20 million in just 2 fights. Im sure he has enough money to go around. Plus you convert that money into pesos = billion pesos:lol:

    remember he lives in the philippines where the dollar value is pretty high.
