Freddie Roach: bob arum will decide who is next for manny

bob arum will decide, yet when he fought mosley he got to choose between 3 opponents? Also Koncs said that nothing is decided yet because Manny will make the final decision? I feel like they are hiding behind this to make Arum the bad guy. To think that a congressman, one of the most popular athletes in the world, and a future presidential candidate won't make his own decisions on who to fight is completely unrealistic.

Actions speak louder than words. And who he fights next will remove all doubt as to whether he wants to fight Floyd, or not. Pacquiao said May 5th he can fight Mayweather

Team Pacquiao needs to quit hiding under Arum's skirt and make that damn fight happen already.

They always ask him and he almost always says he wants to fight him. Sometimes he says it's up to Bob Arum, but hell if that's the truth, why should he lie? No, not sometimes, he always says its up to Bob Arum. We make fun of that fact and then he proves it by doing it again last Saturday.

Bob "Make It a Pentalogy" Arum says the fights btw Pac and JMM will the exciting. Total would exceed 3.0 mil PPV in next two fights.

But his silence on fighting Mayweather can no longer be avoided. It's fucking disgraceful, and it shames the sport. This sport has a long history of the best fighting the best, and Pacquiao clearly isn't willing to do that, and there's no excuse for it. His silence shames everybody who's ever laced the gloves, and stepped through those ropes in the pursuit of victory. They always ask him and he almost always says he wants to fight him. Sometimes he says it's up to Bob Arum, but hell if that's the truth, why should he lie?

When Pacmans biggest nut riders can't see that they are being taken for a ride by Arum and Pac together, then why would they change their formula. Their formula works for Arum & Pac. Fight top rank fighters that walk forward with no movement. = Winning formula. The diehard fans swallow ever bit of crap Arum says as gospel and believe poor Manny is being taken advantage of. Manny is a crafty & sneaky guy if you can't see through him hiding behind Bob.

Good that's the promoters job. People want to break patterns lol and have things their way. This is a business and everyone is assigned a job if it's given to someone else they wouldn't have a job lol. Bring Marquez 4 I want to see that more first and then we'll embarass floyd. The fighters have the last say. The promoters give them their options and give their suggestion. When you ask Arum he says he allows Manny to decide for himself. The truth is that Arum has trained Manny like a human trains a dog and Manny will view Arums "suggestion" as a command and will obey his master.

That fact that these two havent faced is a disgrace and both sides carry blame. I am just about done with this bull****. Suprised I lasted as long as I did.

It took me a while to realize it,arum is spewing much more hate towards floyd than floyd is towards him,he wants us to hate floyd and he wants us to blame floyd for everything so far. Floys and his team are trying to set up the fight for may 5,what does arum do?? He is bragging about how pissed off floyd will be once the pacquiao/marquez PPV numbers are released.He does not want the fight to happen the only thing surprising me is pacmans silence. Pacquiao's silence disappoints me, too. Let it be clear that I've never been a huge Pacquiao fan, OR a huge Mayweather fan ; Hopkins and Marquez have been my two dominant "favorites" over the last decade. That said, I really respect both Mayweather and Pacquiao. The Cotto/Pacquiao fight really had me high on Manny's potential as a Mayweather opponet, honestly.

Pacquiao is hiding behind Arum. All he needs to do to give the fans the fight we've been dying to see for the past 2 years, is call up Arum, and demand a fight with Mayweather. It really is that simple. But he's far too content to let Uncle Bob pick all of his opponets for him, and it looks like he has no intrest at all in fighting Floyd. Shameful.

IMHO, Pac should decide and demand the mayweather fight. he can always fight JMM after the mayweather fight, win or lose. Cuz if Pac foguht JMM again, and lost this time, he cant be 50/50 with floyd if they decide to pursue him afterwards. its the logical business move That's right another war against marquez wouldn't do his body any good and if the fights happens to be even again then arum would make a 5th fight.

It's the promoters job but the fighter should have some say too,it looks like pac has none.And a fight against marquez would be the same outcome then we would wait for arum to make marquez 5,6 and 7.Makes more sense for pac to fight mayweather next he would be fresh and ready to go.If he beats mayweather then let him fight marquez again.
