Listen to how fricking stupid that sounds. MAB,got $2million for the Pacman fight as did Pacman...but JMM wants the same amount,he's a champ,just beat MAB and it's too much??
yea thats true both mab and pac got 2million each, the problem with jmm is his not as big as pac or mab that is why his purse is an issue. Even though since jmm lost to chris john, he has been trying his best to be as popular and entertaining as mab and pac the sad reality is he just can't be as big as them.

yea jmm beat mab and he won majority of the rounds in the first fight with pac, but if he really wants to be as big as pac and mab he'll have to settle for less for now til he beats the man that has beaten everyone except himself.

I don't think there is any point in critizing pac if it isn't him that makes the deal, he isn't the one who would decide how much jmm will make. its up to the bosses not the fighters, unfortunetly for jmm the bosses don't think his as big as mab and pac so he shouldn't get more than any.

But didn't he settle for less against mab, but why not pac? could be cause he is taking a huge risk with having to escape pacs fury again.
