Payout Perspective:
Notable that on a card where 1,675 were comped, Pacquiao still paid $1.3M for tickets. Of the reported $10M, he netted $1.7M. He is receiving more than the reported amount but it is still an astronomical amount to pay. The lowest paid fighter on the card, Libranza made just $3K in a KO win over someone who made three times as much as him, Carlos Maldonado. The 25-year-old Filipino is 19-1.
