LMAO! Pacquiao is only getting 6 million as a base purse vs Bradley.

Like that's unique to Pac. Holyfield and Tyson went broke. I'm sure Floyd's associates are all ethical guys, after all they happily advanced him the IRS tax lien money.

 

atsch You sound like a SLAVE.

 

Speculation, speculation. Floyd and Oscar claim Arum robbed them, two proven liars, as good at bending the truth and spreading lies as Arum ever was, and we've seen how good of a team they made in their conspiracy to character assassinate a fellow boxer in Manny Pacquiao through the media.

Oscar went to court to split from Arum in 2000 not because he accused him of robbing him, but because he believed Arum rigged the Mosley fight in Shane's favor in order to envoke a rematch clause. He also threatened to leave Arum a year earlier when Arum wanted a rematch clause for the Quartey fight and Oscar didn't (a fight Oscar admitted post-fight he found extremely intimidating). For the most part Oscar loved Arum when he was under him, even quoted as saying he "still has feelings for him" in 2007 and even gave him his Olympic Gold Medal (which he dedicated to his much-beloved late mother when he won it 1996). He is quoted many times saying he's grateful to Arum for building his career and having made a lot of money together.

After their split he continued having Arum promote his fights till 2004 and the Hopkins fight. He didn't go to DiBella or Shaw, he went back to Top Rank because he knew they were the best and could deliver the best paydays at the time. Their courteous professional relationship only really ended there, after Arum accused Oscar of taking a dive against Hopkins, which many boxing fans at the time were also saying.

Their acrimony had little to do with Oscar believing he was being robbed, though apparently when he learnt Top Rank made 12 million from the Trinidad fight (in which they paid Oscar a record non-heavyweight purse of $23m) he was upset Arum hadn't let him know specifically of all the income streams that would be generated by the fight, but the onus really was on Oscar to ask as it wasn't in their contract that he was due any of that money. But yeah, their relationship has never been the same after Arum accused Oscar of taking a dive. Fair enough it's a very hurtful accusation to a prideful fighter, but people need to stop the bull**** about their split being about Oscar believing Arum was robbing him.

As for Floyd, here are some quotes of his when he was under Aurm:

“I have the best promoter out there in Bob Arum.”

“Bob Arum is the greatest promoter in history. I love Bob Arum. I love HBO.”

“I walk it like I talk it. I’m getting older, so, this fight (vs. Demarcus Corley in 2004), it’s no longer Pretty Boy Floyd. We got a new name. We call it Flamboyant Floyd Mayweather. Because we gonna take this whole boxing game to a new level. My whole game is flash. It’s gonna be an exciting event in Atlantic City. And I love being with Top Rank. I love being with HBO.”

“The legendary promoter Don King. He had a thousand fighters. But he never got in there and fought for none of them. Listen. He can promote a fight. But he can’t fight. Always remember that. He can’t get in there and fight for ‘em. It’s like this. I’m not gonna talk bad about my promoter. I love Bob Arum. I love HBO. And that’s my family and that’s my home (at the Judah press conference in New York).”

“I don’t really want to talk about this guy (Margarito). Because I see certain things that Bob Arum does that don’t make any sense. He says I’m the best fighter in the business, I’m the best fighter since Muhammad Ali, but then he talks about me ducking and dodging a fighter. He kicks me out of his boxing gym. How can you talk about doing future business with me if you’re conducting yourself with disorderly conduct? He’s a grumpy old man.”

“But you got to realize this: I’m an A level, I’m an A level opponent, Oscar De La Hoya’s an A level, Floyd Mayweather’s an A level, I mean Margarito is a, he got D level fighters. He had Bob Arum, he got D level fighters. You know without, be honest, without Floyd Mayweather or Oscar De La Hoya, I mean, what is Top Rank, honestly?”

It seems with Floyd it was the issue with Margarito that set him off on his feud with Arum. Before that he didn't have too much of a problem with Top Rank and expressing his love for them, though he complained alot. And co-incidentily, just like De La Hoya split with Arum after Richard Schaefer got in his life, it was after Mayweather got with new advisor Al Haymon that he began being hateful towards Arum. Mayweather went on to bigger and better things, but there were many factors involved in their splits, not a case of them simply leaving Top Rank because they felt Arum was robbing them.

So where Floyd and Oscar lying back then and telling the truth now, or telling the truth back then and lying now out of spite for the old man who ticked them off with tough love and personal attacks?

Why bother with this stupid bickering and baseless accusations that Pac is getting robbed on the words of those two dipshits Mayweather and De La Hoya, when Pacquiao's actions make it seem like he's doing just fine and happy with his situation? It's pointless

 

Because I call Mayweather and De La Hoya greedy ****s, which many of their opponents who were raped in negotiations would concede, don't even have to mention the Pacquao negotiations, that makes me a slave? If Pacquiao wants to continue paying Arum for building him up to the point where he made $67 million in a year it's his business. He signed the contract and obviously believes he can't make that kind of money without Top Rank's promotional and match-making abilities

 

biggest pac nuthugger

 

The fighters should always get the lion share of the fight, they are the ones who often end up with mental disabilities at the end of their career. It's absolutely bs, so them wanting most of the money is no problem with me. Bob Arum should be paying Pac more than he should, in fact he should be getting a bit less. Screw that. This guy gets so much more money than pac it's criminal.

Pac shouldve did what Mayweather and Hoya did.

 

Don't hold a candle to you clowns, so pre-occupied with Pac's purses, %'s he has to pay and what not like it's part of your daily jobs to do it

 

Well the difference is people today should learn from documented mistakes from the past. Nobody knew Tyson was getting robbed until yrs later when he became broke. We didn't have as much info on Tyson as we do on Pac with how the internet is today and the amount of information that is spread on a daily basis. You can say Tyson and Holyfields troubles are what has sparked Hoya's and Mayweather's buisness models as fighters-promoters because they learned from the mistakes of those guys.

But the real problem with Pac is that he is trusting a guy like Konz who isn't a qualified accountant, and is really a double agent for Arum. Its clear as day for everyone to see.

 

Most Promoters at the end of the day dont care about the fighters they promote. They move on once they begin to lose or lose their marketability. I don't know Arum, so I wont judge him, but the business is hard on fighters, as we can see from many greats and not so greats who fought in the past.

The problem with Pac is that he is just a very loyal guy, I know at times he has wanted to leave Arum, who still pats his head and calls him boy when he is a damn congressman, but Pac is so loyal that he would not do what is best for him and his team financially.

 

See if it was just Mayweather and Oscar's word (even though when muitiple people say the same thing its usaully not those ppl but you), I could agree to just speculation. But then when you combine Mayweather and Hoya with Visionquest documented issues with Pac and TR. Konz handling the taxes, Konz working for Arum on the low, Pac not having any documentation on fight contracts. I mean where there is smoke there is fire.

 

If this is true, bob arum is one evil *******

 

lol, how the hell do you know that? I don't see Arum on no Forbes lists. For all we know he makes as much as GBP do from Mayweather's fights. One ***** reported Floyd buys out GBP of their promotional cut before each fight for $12-13 million. Who the **** cares, the fighters do get the majority of the money, especially these guys making tens of millions. Pacquiao is not a completely naive dumb **** with money like Tyson and Holy were, well besides the gambling, and he's not with Don King. Pacquiao has many businesses in his country and some in the US, if he goes broke it will be through bad investments and gambling

 

you been on this thread all day like your life depended on it, pretty sad.

 

Well right now it's just smoke. Pac can sue Mayweather for defamation, surely he knows how to go about getting out of his contract through the courts if he feels Arum is not acting in his best interests. until then it will always be just smoke

 

Know whats even sadder?
The way you go from thread to thread to lick Floyd's :smh
Yet the guy doesnt even know you exist.
