    This man during his entire career has been nothing but taken advantage of. By the fans, promoters, networks, etc. And we love it. That's why boxing is guilty pleasure.

    Hes been pure blood, sweat and glory. Fighting everybody under the sun toe to toe for 20 years. Ducking nobody. This is a guy who fought a prime Marquez in a mandatory defense. Right after winning the title. There is not a single fighter alive today with the balls to do that.

    How high can Pac climb weight? How much punishment can he take and give? How many great fighters can he fight? How long can he keep getting into wars? We just couldn't get enough. I know I couldn't it. Pac from 2003 to 2009 was not just the greatest show in sports, but in entertainment period.

    A lot of people will say for the money he made, I'll wear that. Sure, but Pac only made millions after getting screwed over, beating ATGs, fighting on short notice and defying a million to one odds.

    Like today. Why in the **** is he fighting Lucas M? Sure hes shot like Pac too, but he might tear Pacs head off.

    Who's fault is it.......he's a grown man. Remember some years back when he hired an accounting firm to investigate his contract with Top Rank.
    Mind you back then Mayweather and De la Hoya have left Top Rank and had become successful in their own right. Pac, who was on par with both Mayweather and De la Hoya had the opportunity to on his own and become his own boss but from some reason that's still confusing to a rational mind, decided to resign with Arum.
    What even funny is that some Pac fans where throwing shade at Mayweather for leaving Arum. That's how stupid some in this sports are. According to them, Bob Arum made Mayweather and therefore was entitled to receiving some percentage of his earning ( a bunch of miserable ****s with slave mentality). Forget the fact that Mayweather asked Arum to invest some cash in marketing him the way he did De la Hoya and Arum refused, which ultimately led to Mayweather buying out his contract.
    We know how Mayweather's decision turned out. question is, why didn't Pac make the same?

    Well Pac can hardly read and had to quit school at like age 10. Abd made a living getting punched over and over again. It's easy to see why he is bad with money.

    Yep. Makes him about the same as 95% of the other successful boxers in history.

    He made half a billion dollars. I'd say he's been well compensated. Also, you might say that he ducked Khan, Brook, and Thurman in favor of rematches with Bradley, Marquez and unnecessary fights with Rios and Alvarez.

    Pac's the only guy that kept an entourage of 100+ people and handed out money like it was candy. Throw in his political campaigns, and all of the villages, schools, and hospitals he's built, and it's easy to see why he never made "enough" money.

    Compared that to Floyd who had a much smaller entourage made up of chicks he didn't sleep (beards) with and steroid-abusing bodyguards.

    You mean Algieri?

    And the Rios fight was his first fight after KTFO6 and a year long layoff.
