On the bright side if there was no Arum around he doesn't have anyone to use as blame when fights don't happen.
I don't think anyone thinks this is a surprise. It's ARUM. Floyd parted ways from Bob for a reason. He couldn't have the name "MONEY MAYWEATHER" and be promoted by Bob who took most of his money. DLH too went through Bob the "Jew" and had choice words for that guy. Manny is being taken.....but he's not quite Floyd "money" mayweather either who makes it rain in the clubs, poppin Champiagn and such...And he lives most of the time in a third world country where the 1 dollar equates to $100s. So I do think Bob is a snake but Manny is fine in terms of his money.
Yeah Bob Arum gets alot from Pac. Bob Arum also gets the big fights and the big PPVs. I'd rather have Arum represent me than have Paul Williams promoter. Floyd said he represents himself. I didn't know Golden Boy was part of Floyd's self.
Why do like leaving out details on that story? That was the court's decision to have both promoting agencies take a percentage of Pac's earnings. Tell everyone here how your hero Oscar De La hoya tried to trick a naive Pac into signing with him with a suitcase full of cash. Top Rank and Golden Boy both weny into a lawsuit and was determined that Top Rank was the rightful promoter of Pac but Golden Boy was awarded with minority owner royalties. Yeah, Pac is a young dumb fool... that learns as he goes by, especially when dealing with con-men like your idol.
Who ever advised this idiot "i cant post on the net" but he it's ok to "read it out" needs to be shot for giving back-ally legal advice like that!
what a tool... I guess the guy didn't know that 40 percent of the purse also went to the US government in taxes.
25%-40% is actually pretty standard. Nothing different. If you do it PBF style, under your own promotion company, then you end up keeping more money but you are also liable for the cost of the production of the fight (promotions, production, staffing, etc). Depending on how successful the promotion is you either come out more or come out less (since boxers purse are guaranteed and promoters are not). Manny can offset the cost by claiming that portion as tax deductible (as he would for all cost related to his profession including Roach & Koncz salary, business trips, even his car, equipment, etc). I am not sure why people think this is surprising. Not like GBP is offering anything better (if I remember correctly, I think GBP was actually asking 40% and one of the reasons why Manny went with Top Rank instead).
