Why exactly did Pacquiao fight Mosley?

[William Blake]

For Pacquiao- Big money for an easy fight.

For Arum- to get one over on GBP

For Floyd- to show him again that Pacquiao does it better.

out of all that said, he got some easy money and thats it.

arum didnt get over on shane b.c shane wasnt really a priority at GBP as we said.

and he didnt outdo floyd.

mosley was the biggest money of the 3

And the oldest one, the one coming off the worst performances. Don't forget that.

he fought mosley because scum arum presented him as a legit fight. just like floyd making excuse for not fighting cotto, margarito and clottey because they're arum's boys.

besides the slick fighter was still on vacation.

why ask the obvious?

Well not that im the biggest fan of Pacquaio but it is obvious by now. That Arum and Roach want let PAC into a contest that they think he has a legit chance of losing or any live dog. Manny states he loves to give a great performance for the fans. Well lets be honest thats a good company slogan, but was fight has Manny fought besides mayber Morrales I that was as exciting and competitive as Marquez I & II. We had to weight four years the first time for a rematch because Marquez got greedy I heard but after the second figt Manny's statement was this business is done. Why would that business be done when him and Morrales fought three times. May be because Morrales got a decision but IMO Marquez did better in both fights than Morrales did in his inly victory. Marquez also fought with heart and guile.

In the last three years Manny hasnt fought any live dogs lets be serious and call a spade a spade. He woulnt fight Mosley after Mosley beat Margarito. Roach and Arum steered clear of that fight. He wouldnt fight Berto. Arum tried to keep all money in house. Arum is the biggest hypocrite in the sport. If Delahoya had the big guns he would be saying Delahoya is protecting his fighter and scared to fight like he does with Floyd.

Manny is a good fighter but hes letting Arum taint his legacy.
