PBF leaving TR was the best thing he could have done. Only a fool would question it or suggest otherwise. He got 25 million dollar + paydays since the Oscar fight. Sounds like to me he made the right decision. TR undervalued PBF and paid him peanuts compared to what he's made since he's left.
the reason pac gets 26 mil in his fights is because he gets most of the revenue and takes the larger cut from his opponents coz his the bigger name but when floyd fought delahoya he had to take a much smaller cut coz he was not a big name back then.. so basically floyd got as much as manny does now back when he was not a big name.
he Owed Delahoya money for some of his fights years after he left also, I see a pattern, i WONDER IF HE WILL OWE MANNY money for his fights too well after they part ways hummm.
yea but why should Bob Arum make the good money by preventating Floyd from fighting Oscar when they were both in TR and after Oscar left TR???
Mayweather only made 25 mil with Oscar because Mayweather was the opponent. Pacqauio is the A side in his fights, so obviously he generates a larger purse when comparing his fights to that one of Mayweathers.

Top Rank will make you money. But I think that Mayweather would have lost a lot of money if he stayed with Top Rank.
People would say I'm making good money too, but if I could get paid 10 times as much doing the same thing, why wouldn't I?
After a certain point, once a fighter gets to a particular level there aren't really any reasons to have an outside promotional company. When your a star, you don't need another company negotiating your terms for your money and on your hard work. Anyone would leave knowing the truth, that if your business smart you don't need to have an outside promoter.
even if he was getting better good money with bob, you ever wonder what it compares to now. the choice money made was the best move he ever did in his career, thats a fact the ****ing numbers dont lie.
Translation: Floyd should have stayed with his white promoter like a good little boy. Who needs tens of millions of dollars when you can have Arum??:rofl:rofl
You guys gotta understand something,Floyd wants to be his own man,run his own promotion company.. Even if your getting good dough,if you feel as a person you are worth more,and can do so,then that is what smart people choose to do..
Floyd is self made, he doesn't need Top Rank. He's proven this beyond any doubt. I will also guarantee that Cotto will make more in his previous and next couple fights than he made for his entire career under Top Rank.
