This guy is in need of some serious cash. His lack of balls/intellect from a business point of view sucks more then a Las Vegas escort. Arum has made a ton of money off of him, his only goal is to keep Pac winning so he can remain relevant, so he can continue to make cash off of him, but fighting just top rank fighters, that don't stack PPV numbers is going to be the death of Manny when his career is through. He still have fight in him and he still have time to redeem himself financially, if he stand up for himself and demand Arum to get him better oppositions. the 147lb division is swarming with young talent, that we would love to see him against. I really hope he grows a pair before it's too late and tell uncle Arum it's his way or the highway.
nobody will buy a pacquiao ppv ever again once he gets schooled by mayweather. arum knew this from day one, pacquiao vs. alvarado is next
He's making $18 million+ a fight plus millions from endorsements. He's fine. Worry about your own damn broke situation and try to get above minimum wage.
Mayweather fighting Golden Boy fighters? Canelo Alvarez Robert Guerrero Victor Ortiz You should know by now that Top Rank & Golden Boy rivalry.
difference is, GBP is stacked when it comes to 140-154. so many options and good fights still to be made. meanwhile pac will get ready for Bradley II and JMM V then Rios vs Alvarado III and Bradley vs Provodnikov II. rinse and repeat.
Manny Pacquiao owes Bob Arum money, according to the rumors anyway. If that is true, Manny is not leaving Bob, ever. Bob Arum owns him, seriously. It is kind of sad and why do I have this funny feeling that we're going to be saying "WTF" later if Manny ends up broke. Arum is robbing that guy blind, and I don't see how any boxing fan can defend that ****. Manny should have $100+ million in the bank in all honesty. Bob Arum is as dirty as they come in boxing. He's up there with Don King in that regard.
The guy was stealing cigarettes to make a living. Sorry, I don't think Arum is robbing him blind. Manny would be nowhere without Arum. Let's not forget Arum made Floyd and DLH popular. Once they got there they realized they could make more without Arum. Manny is too dumb and now too much in debt. He's not as humble as he is portrayed. His posse that travels with him is probably larger than Floyd's. From what I read on a Phils article, he squanders most of his money at the casinos, he bought his wife's election for $2M, his own for $6M ... he's just not very wise when it comes to money. He also has extravagant cars and cribs like Floyd. Manny, like most people who go from rags to riches, be it lottery, sports, or whatever eventually end up broke again.
Manny is a talented fighter and would have made it regardless of being attached to Top Rank, GBP, Don King, Goosen, whatever.... Nobody won those fights for Manny. And I'd say Arum is most certainly taking "more than his fair share" in regard to Manny's profits. I just think it's sad. Manny is one of my favorite fighters and if he ends up broke it will be a travesty. There are already too many former champions and greats who are destitute/broke. Absolute bull**** if he ends up that way. :-( "From what I read on a Phils article, he squanders most of his money at the casinos, he bought his wife's election for $2M, his own for $6M ... he's just not very wise when it comes to money.

I didn't mean victories. Obviously that's all Manny. As much fun as I poke at him. His success in the ring is undeniable. Arum though is largely responsible for his popularity.
dont worry about manny's money, worry about yourselves. he has more than enough until his grand childrens grand children die
