Talk:Manny Pacquiao/Archives/2006

Deleted: "Sino ang Tatapos" section
I deleted---for the second time---the subsection named Sino ang Tatapos? for the following reasons: Please do not restore the deleted section or attempt to create a separate section for this match outside the history of Pacquiao's fights. --- Tito Pao 21:13, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The particular fight in itself does not deserve its own section, because it is placed apart from the history of Pacquiao's fights (it was placed after and outside the Biography section. For this reason, I moved this information where it should be seen.
 * 2) Corollary to the above. By the time the November 19 match ends, there will be no justification for giving this specific fight its own section. It will be merely one of his fights.
 * 3) The original deleted text was not well-written, so I rewrote it consistent with the entire article's language. I rewrote it, but the user who restored the section also restored the original, unrevised text.

Whatever happened to the long article about Pacquiao?
I am just wondering the last time I stumbled on this article it was long and enormously detailed. Now, it's brief and has been unfairly compressed to a few pity paragraphs. What happened? Or is just I typed a wrong key word (manny pacquiao?)? -- Jimmy Knowles — Preceding comment added 01:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

$500M?
"In September 2006, Pacquiao signed a major deal with Golden Boy Promotions (GBP), headed by Oscar de la Hoya, which is good for seventeen fights [3]. This development was confirmed by coach Freddie Roach. Under the deal, Pacquiao is guaranteed a prize money of US$500 Million for each fight. With regard to profits made on each fight, Pacquiao will be receiving at least 90% while the remaining 10% will go to Golden Girls Promotions."

That can't possibly be true. The source has an unreliable (but far more reasonable) estimate of $300,000, but it's only an estimate based upon an unnamed "source." Perhaps it's best to not have a figure in there at all. --S.Reemas, 17:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
