Before the Ortiz fight Mayweather stood up and said, "Pacquiao, you're next." He was unequivocal. It was a lie, a sales tool, proven by his immediate post-fight assertion that he does not need Pacquiao and his verbal assault on Pacquiao's standing in the sport compared to his own. The ultimate irony was Mayweather decrying Pacquiao for riding his coattails, only famous because the Filipino was attached to the Mayweather brand by the prospective super fight. Ironic because it was Floyd Mayweather himself selling his fight by leading the boxing public into believing it was a tune up for Pacquiao.
haha Pac and his team have made far more money off of Mayweather's name than Mayweather could ever make off of Pac's.
The thing that shocks me about some of these Pac fans is how they literally turn there head to everything Bob Arum does. I like Pac I really do, but it truly shocks me how Pac fans ignore the absurdity of Bob Arum. For example, it's pretty clear at this point that Tim Bradley is going to be next for Pac, and it is very likely that fight will be announced either before or directly after the Marquez fight before a Mayweather fight can even be discussed. yet somehow it is going to end up being Mayweather's fault even though pac's fights are already pre determined before he even fights the guy he's scheduled to fight. it really is hilarious at this point, and I can't fathum how fans don't see it.
Indeed Arum does steer the Pacquiao ship much to the collective frustration of many.
However, it's not all bad. Fights with Cotto, Margarito were great and interesting due to the physical challenges and fighting reputation of both - even if the latter is disgraced. Clottey was a better name on Pacquaio's resume than many now say after his hide and hide performance. That's not Pacquiao's fault, that Clottey was too scared to throw. Clottey has looked like a beast and should have beaten Margarito, Cotto, and is a very strong welterweight - yet Pacquiao dominated him. Many picked Hatton and that was a very good win for the smaller Pacquiao. He's fighting bigger guys and most of them are strong fighters in/near their primes.
De La Hoya was a joke - but that was in hindsight. Mosley was shot, but who else was he going to fight with Berto MIA and the Mayweather fight proving difficult to make? Go up to 154lbs and fight Martinez? Seems that fight is one Pacquiao isn't interested in.
So in those terms, with the two joke fights both being massive PPV successes, it is hard to say that Arum is doing a terrible job in steering the Pacquiao ship. It just isn't delivering the one fight we all want - but is that anything to do with Arum or would it still be as problematic without him?
Bradley is not a bad opponent for Pacquiao in lieu of Mayweather. There's not many options, Bradley is unbeaten, one of the best at 140lbs. Khan is a stablemate.
I will say one thing though, Floyd actually does need Manny more than Manny needs Floyd for 1 reason. Floyd simply has more money to make from the fight that Manny does. Out of the millions and millions that will be made Manny might see 30-40% of what his team makes, while Floyd will see every penny.
After Floyd`s horrendous stint with Ortiz (and the fact that Floyd did not really beat Ortiz), I don`t think that Pacquiao nor Arum will make any effort to contact him for a mega fight.
Floyd is just not worth it.
It is time for Manny Pacquiao to retire after his Marquez fight and make make Floyd and his family irrelevant.
Floyd just said he doesn`t need Manny.
And Manny just said he doesn`t need Floyd either. But the funny thing is, Manny keeps his word. And you can just imagine who you can trust between the two.
So, Floyd, who`s next again??? A simple direct statement you made and you made an entire audience liars instead of yourself?
Literally one of the dumbest things I have ever heard considering manny makes none of his career decisions. You have to face the facts at some point bro, Pac is Arum's puppet. Pac is a great fighter, and i truly do appreciate and respect everything he's done for the sport, but at the end of the day he is property of Bob Arum PERIOD.

Floyds next fights:
- Ortiz rematch
- Dela Hoya rematch- Berto
Come on, De La Hoya isn't going to come out of retirement. If he did who would want to see him fight Floyd. He only lost to Floyd because he didn't have the stamina in the late rounds and that was years ago. Since then he's been doing coke and drag.

Yeah that was a fairly embarrassing episode for Pacquiao. I suspect he was given really bad advice, likely by that greaseball Koncz, to say those still excuses.
He should have just said, "Mayweather does not dictate my obligations, that is the job of the boxing commissions." And that is a position most people can respect.
He did say that in the first nego, although not in that mild manner...
pacquiao is not afraid of needles anymore?

I'll post it again as I did in other related articles: Here's my take; I don't really hate FMJ because from the looks of it, his strategy actually includes controversies like the last one, to project himself the Dark Force of boxing. One can easily perceive that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a marketing genius and crafty businessman. All his trash-talking and posturing to make it appear he would fight the Pacman are just marketing hypes. Every boxing pundit knows that the Pacmonster will just walk through Floydie's potshots to sneak in his own staccato of detonating combinations. More than anybody else, Floydie knows extremely well that the Pacmonster can take his best shots while he could never hold up the return fires. In this regard, it is very obvious that we are up to vicious plots of seeing Floydie take opponents after opponents and sell them like hotcakes with his magnificent "Pacquiao your next!" hypes in order to dupe and bleed the fans of their precious dollars. But clearly, fighting Pacquiao squarely atop the ring is the farthest thing in his sly mind. Thus, the DREAM-FIGHT which everybody wants to see is bound to remain a dream forever. On the same breadth, it is likewise bound to usher Floyd "KFC" Mayweather Jr. to the realm of greatness being the "Greatest Salesman in the World!" And this is for selling DREAM by millions of dollars! I rest my case, LOL!
