| Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao (ctto) |
Manila, Philippines – Mannt have speculated that Manny
Pacquiao will definitely win against Adrien Broner but just like his usual
fight, there is another huge payday that looms regardless if he wins or loses.
Reports said that the Filipino boxing champ is set to earn $10
million for defending his WBA welterweight championship against Broner –
information was released by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Pacquiao is also entitled to receive percentage of the fight
profits, including those from the live gate at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and
the pay-per-view buys of the fight.
In his fight with Broner, it is not only money that
motivates the sitting senator but he also wants to prove that despite his age,
he is still fresh and in great shape to fight.
Meanwhile, Broner will take away $2.5 million, which probably
plays a huge part of his motivation to fight against Pacquiao.
And like Pacquiao, Broner also gets a cut of the fight
revenue.
Reports said that Broner had turned down a fight offer before
when Pacquiao was still with Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc.
“All I worry about is, as long as my money is right, we
could have a nice fight. I told Bob Arum that, but he only wanted to give me
like $2 million. But I said, (expletive) him,’” he said.
“So, this time, you know, so this time, they talking a lot
better. The numbers right. So, we gonna have a hell of a fight,” Broner added.
