Loyalty

Pacquiao is with Arum for one reason and one reason only = money! All these idiots talkin like Manny don't get paid, he got a guaranteed $20 mill for the Bradley fight, that's without the added sum from the PPVs. Manny is as rich as they come, why would he leave Arum?

Sarcasm noted, but a lot of people actually think this is a valid argument. As if Floyd is somehow spiritually prevented from fighting anyone who works with Bob Arum. No sarcasm there, I was dead serious.

Does Bob Arum pay Manny's taxes or something? Don't get me wrong Bob would probably sell his own mother for a dollar but none of these points make any sense. Bob Arum does not file Manny's taxes nor work for the IRS as far as I know. Koncz was supposed to be. IIRC they would pay the taxes on the live gate, then never paid anything else (can't remember if they filed or not).

Hall of Fame promoter/manager Micky Duff once said "You want loyalty!? Get a dog!"

Yep and with Loyalty you get Algeri Loyalty? Floyd loves to use the RACE card when he wants African Americans to be loyal to him. But he won't give a African American fighter like Thurman or Porter who is fresh off of winning a title a PAY DAY.

Yep and with Loyalty you get Algeri Floyd has been the KING of riding Latin fighters fresh from winning a title. Now PAC fights a guy after winning a title and it's a problem.

Dude, you are aware of the fact that Manny was left almost penniless last year, right? And if he suffered two bad losses in a row, would Arum be "loyal" to him? I sincerely doubt it. Everyone is assuming PAC is broke. PAC is living like a KING in the Philippines.

I've read a lot of people questioning why PAC is staying with Arum? It's called LOYALTY. PAC did not have a career until Arum came into the picture. People need to understand that Filipinos are loyal to people who have helped them in their lives. PAC came from DIRT in the Phillipines. The poverty Floyd claims he came from is a luxury compared to the poverty in the Philippines. A lot of u feel Arum is robbing PAC of $, but obviously PAC doesn't see it that way. Arum is a promoter and his company doesn't work for free. Arum must be doing something right for his fighters careers because he keeps signing fighters. Floyd talks a lot of mess about Arum, but do u think Floyd's career would be where it is today without Arum's guidance? Floyd acts like he would still be on top of boxing even if Arum never promoted him which is false. Oscar even admits his career wouldn't be where he is today without Arum's guidance as his promoter.

We shall see how this "LOYALTY" thing works out once his career is over. Pacquiao owes Arum NOTHING consider the amount of money Arum has made off of Pacquiao. Arum has made more money off of Pacquiao than Pacquiao has made off of Pacquiao. Boxing is a dirty sport especially outside of the ring, Promoters don't give a damn about fighters. Proof of that is when legendary fighters die BROKE to the point in which many of their families can't even afford to pay for their funerals. Trying to have Loyalty in Boxing= MIKE TYSON Mike Trusted Don King and his Manager that they would take care of things while he was locked up only to get out and come home In Debt and NO MONEY! Working with guys like Arum your Manager cannot be a Push Over and Michael Knocz looks like a complete Push Over who Arum can pay a little extra money on the side to get Pacquiao to agree to take terrible deals. Of course Arum doesn't like guys like Cameron Dunkin and Al Haymon because they are legit Managers who try to get their fighters the most Money Possible.

1) Pacquiao was a champion and rising star before Bob Arum. 2) Pacquiao is the one training, Pacquiao is the one taking hits in the ring, Pacquiao is the person people go to see; why on Earth does he owe Bob Arum for all of his hard work and skills? 3) Bob Arum makes a lot of money off of Pacquiao's name; their relationship is mutually beneficial.

Manny should've become a free agent like Cotto. That's blatantly obvious. He still would've been able to make money with Arum while having the option to fight GBP fighters.

and why be loyal to a man who you brought people in to look at his books and gets you in tax troubles

Pac stayed with Arum because he owes/owed him money. All that stuff about him needing advances was evidently true.

Yep and with Loyalty you get Algeri

Manny had on world titles with Murad. were you aware of that?

Why would you be loyal to someone who prevents you from fighting Floyd? Foolishness.
