Ariza said in that interview I posted that Bob is unwilling to share the profits of a fight AND is unwilling to open his books to scrutiny from outsiders.
The general public and Manny himself would then learn just how little money Manny's been making, and how Arum's been conducting business.

Yeah but in this case the majority of the profits would be shared by the other side, not Bob. Arum doesn't have the power in the deal anymore, he's old as fuck and will hopefully die soon, Pac could retire any time, Mayweather is only fighting twice more, I don't see why he wouldn't just go for the big money. He literally has nothing to lose anymore. If Floyd beat Pac's ass back in 2010, Pac's earning potential would have plummeted and I could see him being worried about that, but now if Pac loses, who gives a shit?

I think Ariza's point was he put off the Floyd fight to get Pac to keep signing, he now has Pac signed for the rest of the career he has left, so I don't see the motives anymore.
