Sorta boring. I was told Mayweather got 180 million and Pacquiao got 120 million.

Wasn't Wm Jefferson Clinton President of the United State of America? Hasn't the GOP hate machine relentless attacks and during his presidency sued him and Hillary for every gawd thing they can sue them on? Has the attacks stopped?

Nope and it will continue no matter what.

Making money from speeches which are positive, may keep them afloat, since they do have bills, and their foundation's money honestly do go to helping others? Hard to believe huh.

Also, GOP Party do not discriminate when it comes to hate, lies and untruths.
