But Golden Boy Vice president Eric Gomez also admittted this:

Gomez said that “in Pacquiao’s defense he is the star right now. The No.1 guy in the division. He’s the draw.” But Gomez emphasized that “in boxing there is always a way to work things out. I am confident since we had a very good promotion with Top Rank, everything went smooth, I think that if we go and do a Marquez fight I am sure Richard (Schaefer) and Bob (Arum) can work things out and make something that is going to be a positive, good show for everybody.”

Since Pac is the draw, I believe Golden Boy realizes that Pac deserves the bigger prize share. Of course, it is understandable that they will try to get as much moolah as they can get for their boy JMM.


Have a cc on me for the informative info. You make some valid points and could be right. I just want to see this fight made. The only thing that slightly demeans your point about Manny getting the lion's share of the purse is that MAB and Manny both recieved $2million,although some reports on boxingscene. com indicate that MAB recieved $3million! Now he was coming off a loss,to JMM and had lost to Manny before. This fight would have alot more hype around it.

However,you have made some very valid points,so I admit,that Manny may very well deserve a larger split. Good points bro.
