pac made $27-$30 million against marquez just because the purse pay on the day of the fight is $6 million or whatever doesn't mean top rank isn't paying him $22 million separately. there are guys on those same pay sheets that are listed at $1,000 u think that's all they get or their promoter pays them after? it's silly to think that's all they're getting.
you guys dont' think for a PPV that did 1.4 million buys, and a massive live gate of $12 million, if pac only got paid $6 million total he wouldn't be like, yo what's going on here? lol what's listed on those sheets isn't ppv share and his guarantee.
