Pacquiao not leaving Arum for Mayweather bout : inquirer.net

Pacman will retire a broke bum He brought it on himself, if he'd just made a few demands of Arum instead of blindly doing whatever he was told he wouldn't be in this situation. Now more than likely he'll have to fight much longer than he should have and get more beat up. Manny is the "Brooks Hatlen" of boxing unfortunately......

Pacman will retire a broke bum

Link to the article GENERAL SANTOS CITY—Goodbye megabout? World boxing eight-division champ and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao said he won’t leave Top Rank Promotions just to seal a highly anticipated bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Floyd Mayweather Jr. never runs out of excuses just to avoid fighting me. If I leave Top Rank, there’s no guarantee the fight would push through,” Pacquiao said in an interview with the Inquirer. “So, why should I leave Top Rank? Just to make Pacquiao-Mayweather fight happen? No way.” Pacquiao also called out Mayweather, telling the undefeated American a fight can be made even if the Filipino remains with Top Rank. “The promotional company where I am in should not be made an issue. If this is the fight the world boxing fans want, let’s do it regardless of which promotional outfit we belong. There should be no lame excuses,” Pacquiao said. Pacquiao bared that when Mayweather called him up a few years back, the latter asked him to leave Top Rank and join in his own promotional firm, The Mayweather Promotions. “I told him I’m staying with Top Rank. I’m not interested to join his promotional outfit,” Pacquiao said. The Filipino ring icon also advised Mayweather to stop insulting him or other boxers. “When Floyd Mayweather was jailed for domestic violence, I prayed for him. Did you ever hear me say anything bad against him? I did not insult him while he was down and inside the prison cell. Instead, I prayed to God to change his heart,” Pacquiao bared. On the other hand, Mayweather, Pacquiao said, would not stop making insults about his loss to Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez. “Floyd Mayweather keeps on insulting me for that knockout. We are not perfect. We all commit mistakes. I made a big mistake during my last fight with Marquez,” Pacquiao said. “It was both a humbling and learning experience, Pacquiao said of the loss to Marquez. “It has even made me a better and stronger person.” Pac will leave Bob and Floyd still wont fight him.

Pac is going to get buried in debts. He should know by now. I can't feel bad for the guy anymore.

Pacquiao needs to realize that he is running out of options with Top Rank. Right now, his welterweight options are limited to guys like Bradley, Vargas, and Abregu. At 140, Provodnikov, Allakhverdiev, and Alvarado. At 135, a guy like Crawford or Beltran. At 130, Garcia. Does anybody really want to see these fights? If Pacquiao chooses to resign with Top Rank, he is choosing to deprive the fans of interesting fights.

which is exactly why Pacquiao's people can't complete two sentences without mentioning Mayweather's name. Jesus Christ you retarded motherf**ker, have you not seen how many times f@ggot ass Floyd has said Pacquiao's name in like the last month? Every first, third, and fifth word of every sentence that has came out of his mouth for the past 5 weeks has been "Pacquiao". But it's Pacquiao's people who can't stop saying his name? Get real, dumb f**k. Your vivid day dreaming fantasies of Floyd's c0ck in your mouth has completely clouded your already painfully slow mind. And apparently also rendered your ass deaf and/or illiterate.

Why do people keep bringing up Floyd, other than a Bradley rematch Pacquiao has no other meaningful fights. GB has the kind of stable that would put Pacquiao in plenty of exiting fights, fights that would spark a lot of interest. Of course many of you are gonna act oblivious to that fact because your a bunch of fan boys.

If the reason why the Pac vs. Floyd fight aint happening is cause Floyd wants Pac to leave Arum and Top Prank, then I dont know how clear sh$% has to be for people to realize that FLOYD JUST DONT WANT THAT FIGHT.. If that were the case then it was clear that Pac didn't want the Bradley, or Mosely fight, or the Marquez rematch.

He is right, to agree to and concede on this latest demand of Floyd's is just getting silly now, there's no prior evidence to suggest that he won't just find another excuse leaving Pacman in tricky situation. A clause for Pac to leave TR for one fight in order to enable it (whilst paying TR perhaps) could have merit though. This has been suggested. Schaeffer said that Arum can have his name on the ring and they will pay Arum but Arum can not be involved in the negotiations.

Honestly. This whole, "leave Arum" campaign started from Floyd, and is another duck tactic. Manny's right. There is no guarantee that the fight gets made if he leaves. I'm sure if Manny reached out to Mayweather and said after his contract is up with Arum that he would like to negotiate a fight then it would happen. But lets not mention Floyd, Manny needs to leave Arum for better fights and to make more money.

Meanwhile Pacquiao vs Rios did 475k PPVs. Like I said, Mayweather IS the DRAW. Mayweather is not a draw. Canelo was a draw and Matthysse vs Garcia was a draw

The thing is Pacquiao has to leave Top Rank regardless. Besides Bradley there's no one left for him to fight at Top Rank. He'll never get another fight with Marquez. A Provodnikov or Alvarado fight would just be similar to the Rios fight. He needs to be a free agent like Cotto where he could do business with anyone. There's around 10 potential opponents at Golden Boy for Pacquiao to fight.

So just call his bluff than Manny Beat Bradley win the WBO belt and when your contract with Top Rank is up negotiate the fight through the media put everything out there so there will be no excuses. He would make a lot more money leaving Top Rank for 1 fight and can sign back with them when he is done. flawed logic ... everybody already knows floyd is ducking so what the point ... when floyd puts some new roadblock in place the same few people will still support it NO MATTER WHAT and everybody else will say 'yup more of the same' ... so what would that achieve?

"If I leave Top Rank, there’s no guarantee the fight would push through," this basically sums up the whole situation ... floyd will just find a new road block. Floyd will be remembered as the biggest ducker in boxing history ... it will tarnish his reputation forever and whenever he is mentioned in any discussion his ducking of pacquiao will be brought up to show that he was no sugar ray leonard or whatever. Floyd fans should realize this but they are too stupid to ... they can run around in circles convincing nobody but themselves forever more but 20 years from now whenever he is brought up the vast majority of fans and the public at large will just say 'Floyd mayweather ... oh yeah isn't he's the fraud that ducked Pacquiao?'

If I was Pac, I would leave Arum regardless. He should not extend his contract next year and try to get a fight with Floyd. Cotto did this and the fight was made easy.If the Floyd fight still cannot be made, then he can always rejoin Top Rank-what's there to lose? Bob is shifty and if I was Floyd, I wouldn't do any fights promoted, or co-promoted with Top Rank-especially with Floyd and Arum's history.

So just call his bluff than Manny Beat Bradley win the WBO belt and when your contract with Top Rank is up negotiate the fight through the media put everything out there so there will be no excuses. He would make a lot more money leaving Top Rank for 1 fight and can sign back with them when he is done.

In convinced this fight will never happen regardless of what is ever said by these two

The smart thing for Pacquiao to do would be to become a free agent. That way, if he so desires, he can still work with Top Rank. However, it would also open up a lot of interesting options with Golden Boy. If Pacquiao really cares about the fans as much as he claims, then he won't resign with Top Rank.

Maybe it because-as you and kurt (and other manny fans) have both said a number of times-that Manny wants the fight but Bob doesn't. If this is actually the case-manny wants it and bob doesn't-then it would make sense for floyd to ask for Manny to leave Bob. If you guys are all wrong and Manny doesn't want the fight or its not Bob preventing nhim from fighting then yes it wouldn't make sense for manny to leave TR to get a floyd fight. I would only add one thing-Alot of you, not you specifically, suggested Floyd wouldn't fight Cotto ever, even if he left TR. As soon as cotto did, he got a floyd fight and earned his highest payday. MIND BLOWN these simpletons and their swiss cheese arguments.

Honestly. This whole, "leave Arum" campaign started from Floyd, and is another duck tactic. Manny's right. There is no guarantee that the fight gets made if he leaves. Floyd didn't say that Pac had to leave Bob Arum in order to make the fight. He said that he will never fight Pac as long as Bob Arum is involved because Bob Arum is a crook who cheated Mayweather out of money that was rightfully Mayweather's. Would you be willing to work with someone who robbed your home or cheated you out of money that rightfully belonged to you? Richard Schafer said the fight could be made if Arum was willing to take step-aside money and allow GBP to promote the fight. Arum won't take a $10 million step-aside fee as long as he can make a Pacquaio/Bradley fight and walk away with $30 million. That is why is why the fight won't get made.
