Roberto ?Boying? Nazario, the San Francisco-based son of Manny Pacquiao?s business manager Rod Nazario, admitted yesterday that Oscar de la Hoya?s Golden Boy Promotions, paid US promoter Murad Muhammad a gross purse of $700,000 for Pacquiao?s nontitle fight with legendary featherweight Marco Antonio Barrera last Nov. 15 in San Antonio, Texas.
He said Murad made $140,000 to $150,000 for the fight.
In an exclusive overseas telephone conversation with Viva Sports, Nazario said Murad deducted $200,000 from Pacquiao?s purse since he paid for ?the airline tickets and internal travel, hotel accommodation and food and other expenses of his entourage, aside from paying the referee and judges of the fight.?
