Manny Pacquiao would do well to take financial cues from Floyd Mayweather Jr. - ESPN

Yesterday, we told you about how Floyd Mayweather was just named the highest-earning athlete of 2013 by Sports Illustrated. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for Manny Pacquiao.

Although he's enjoyed a long, lucrative boxing career, it sounds like Pacman's bank account is slowly inching closer and closer to zero. Because of all the business investments he has made over the years—and because he doesn't seem to pay close attention to his money like Mayweather does—he could be broke within the next couple of years. It's reportedly one of the reasons he wants to continue boxing and one of the reasons that, in all reality, he needs to continue doing it in order to survive.

"Manny has clearly lost the zeal for boxing that he once had," journalist Ted Lerner says in an ESPN piece published late yesterday. "Before, he used to fight for the love of fighting, and the money seemed secondary. Now he is obviously fighting for only one reason: money."




fukking Shame I dont want to see Manny continue and take further beating like Roy did just for a dollar:snoop:

But unlike Mayweather, who for many years has personally and painstakingly selected his opponents -- many competing at least a few pounds above their natural range or a few years beyond their prime -- Pacquiao is frequently matched up with the most commercially viable foe, weight and style be damned.

So why haven't Pacquiao's opponents been as carefully selected as Mayweather's? And why, now that his career is in jeopardy following back-to-back defeats, is he fighting Brandon Rios, an extremely dangerous opponent with the sort of punching power that could conceivably leave Manny facedown on the canvas again?

:demonic: what a load of bullshyt.

I bet he believed Clottey and Margarito were legitimate threats too

OH NO, NOT THE DANGEROUS FACE-FIRST BRANDON RIOS!!!

Manny knew Arum was robbing him since when he tried to sign to ODH early and ended up get double butt fukkked. I still dont understand him reing up, dude must of been truly terrified of Mayweather to say in a already shytty situation where you know 100% you getting robbed, either that or Arum has dirt him.................
