Its great business for Top Rank. Its terrible for boxing itself and the fans.
Had anyone touted as a top boxer fought the last 4 guys that Pacquiao had chosen they would be ridiculed beyond belief.
Pacquiao is the boxing equivalent of Mitt Romney. He's an alternative to those who don't prefer their champions loud and flashy ... even though that has little to do with performances and should have even less to do with acknowledgment of the elite.
Just ask Ali.
