    That Arum-GBP drama is boring the shit out of me. They're in the business to make money, not to act like spoiled brats and get all emotional.

    Let's not forget also that GBP gets a % of Pacquiao's earnings, no? In which case, if and when TR and GBP do a show together involving Pacquiao, GBP gets a disporportionately larger share than TR.

    Why would GBP get anything from Manny?

    Part of a settlement over the promotional rights to Pacquiao.

    I don't know that the percentage GBP gets from Pacquiao fights has ever been made public, but some of what I've read leads me to believe it isn't huge.

    Still, you can imagine it's just one more in a long list of Arum's reasons to be happy that Pacquiao/PBF doesn't happen.

    I think I read that there is a particular percentage GBP gets if Pacquiao fights a GBP fighter.

    Arum has been throwing out those quotes saying he and King could make that fight easily.

    GBP and Schaefer are a joke, a 50-50 split for Pac-Marquez, sure, that's a good way to start negotiation:notallthere::notallthere:
