We’re just a few hours away from Manny Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs) taking on Adrien Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) for Pacquiao’s WBA “regular” welterweight title. How much money is Pacquiao slated to receive in his first United States fight in more than two years? Well it’s officially listed as $10 million for Pacquiao and $2.5 million for Broner, per the Nevada Athletic Commission. They’d also stand to make more through a percentage of the pay-per-view profits. However, both men will reportedly have higher guarantees.

BoxingScene’s Keith Idec says that Pacquiao’s guaranteed “at least” $20 million, and “will be paid $10 million Saturday night, from which he will immediately pay federal income taxes, additional taxes to help settle his outstanding debt with the Internal Revenue Service, his sanctioning fee for defending the WBA’s world welterweight title and his pre-determined fees to members of his team.” The other $10 million would come via PPV upside, Filipino TV rights, sponsorships, etc.
Pacquiao has been accustomed to eight-figure paydays for years now. He frequently had at least $20 million paydays while under the Top Rank banner, but now he’s with PBC and still getting superstar salaries. Broner has been a consistent seven-figure fighter and one of Showtime’s more popular draws on television. This is his PPV main event debut and $2.5 million is his highest recorded purse, but as stated earlier, his guarantee is actually reportedly higher than that, not including the PPV upside.
