Because fighters get paid in different ways. There's the purse, and then there are PPV revenues streams.

Pacquiao gets a small purse, and gets the majority of his earnings from the PPV money. It's for tax purposes.

Both Floyd and Manny are making 20+ million everytime they fight. It's just divided up in different ways.
