Here’s news for the fans and taxmen now waiting outside Manny Pacquiao’s house in General Santos City: Don’t expect a windfall from the country’s boxing icon.
That’s because out of the $2-million (P104 million) purse he earned for stopping Erik Morales in their rematch two weeks ago in Las Vegas, "PacMan" took home a net of $313,446—"only" P16.3 million—after deductions from taxes in the United States and the fees of his management team, Sports Times learned Thursday from Internet reports.
The most comprehensive report, written by Thomas Hauser for secondsout.com, noted that Pacquiao had also advanced $507,897 (P26.4 million) in various expenses and loans from his managers—including the $67,639 (P3.5 million) Porsche Cayenne car he bought weeks before fighting his Mexican rival.
His trio of American comanagers got 20 percent of his purse, with Shelly Finkel receiving $240,000, Nicholas Khan $92,800, and Keith Davidson $67,200. They had earlier loaned Pacquiao a combined $60,000.
Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, earned 10 percent of the purse or $200,000, $40,000 of which he also loaned to the World Boxing Council International super featherweight champion.
Gary Shaw, the lefty boxer’s promoter, got a total of $372,839, including a flat fee of $250,000 for his services in the Morales rematch, $52,000 in advances to Pacquiao, and the Porsche he bought for the fighter in Los Angeles.
In addition, "The People’s Champion" paid $376,666 to the US Internal Revenue Service for present and back taxes, and $200,000 for advances he made from Top Rank, the promotional outfit that arranged the rematch. American Bob Arum, Morales’ promoter, owns Top Rank.
Team Pacquiao, however, expects to receive an additional $1.25 million besides the purse money once all of the pay-per-view income and additional revenue from Morales-Pacquiao II is calculated, Hauser noted.
The boxer’s comanagers will be entitled to 20 percent or $250,000 of that amount, bringing their collective share from Pacquiao’s earnings to over $600,000.
