Pacquiao's next fight guaranteed $20M

World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Sarangani Rep. Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is guaranteed $20 million (P860 million) in the much-awaited rubber match with Mexican nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, reports from the US reveal.

The purse is exactly what Pacquiao got as a guarantee when he took the sting out of Shane Mosley last May, but the Filipino pound-for-pound king should make a killing in the extra income that will be generated by an expected larger pay-per-view audience.

If the Pacquiao-Mosley fight drew more than 1.3 million buys, ringsiders are more than optimistic that the Pacquiao-Marquez showdown will do even greater what with the bad blood that exists between the two fighters.

Marquez is getting a guaranteed $5 million, the same amount Mosley was paid by Top Rank. Of course, the Mexican counter-puncher is also entitled to a share in the pay-per-view.

Top Rank chief Bob Arum believes the November encounter will go down as the biggest Pacquiao fight ever in terms of global impact and financial gain.

Arum is kicking off the promotional hype with a press conference at the Luneta on Sept. 3 with Marquez in attendance. From Manila, the tour will go to New York, Los Angeles and then onwards to Marquez’s lair in Mexico City.

Meanwhile, the long line of aspirants to Pacquiao’s throne has grown longer with the announcement made by world lightweight kingpin Brandon Rios that he wants a piece of the pound-for-pound king.

Speaking to the Orange County Register newspaper, Rios said: “I don’t know if I’ll ever get to fight him, but if I do, I’m going to make him fight.”

Rios, who is meeting many-time Pacquiao sparring partner Urbano Antillon this Saturday night in Carson, California, has already a gameplan for the Pacquiao fight.

“I am going to attack him, because that’s what I believe in,” said Rios, stressing that he is even willing to face Pacquiao for free.

Rios is the stablemate of Antonio Margarito, the Mexican giant Pacquiao mauled so badly that Margarito had to undergo an orbital bone operation so he can resume his boxing career.

Others drooling over the prospects of meeting Pacquiao include Floyd Mayweather, Andre Berto, Timothy Bradley, Kermit Cintron and Sergio Martinez.
