Pacquiao Picks Arum Over De La Hoya

[psychopath]

Do you think Pac will always be with Roach? Like Winky has stayed with Dan?

I wish . . I wish, but with the people around Pac we're not too sure of what's going to happen next. In fact somebody inside the circle is already asking for Roach being booted out.

Roach has refined the guy's fighting skills, he has done so much for the kid.

See, that was the hypothetical I was getting at. Pac-man must like Roach- he has to feel confident with him. That said, Freddie chose the loosing side in the promotion battle and Arum and the people surrounding Manny won't forget that. It's a dangerous place to be. A thousand shadows whispering in your fighter's ear- whom he seems to listen to- with more and more dissension against you and your views.

I think this was a bad move by Manny. GBP does nothing but good things are far as working with their fighters. Now you got Arum, a man who just lost one of his biggest money draws in boxing to Manny. Morales is no doubt finish and Arum knows this. What to do? Get the guy that just ended Morales and is equally as big a draw as Morales. This is no doubt the reason Arum went all out and flew to the Ph. to snag Manny up with his company because he is in desperate need of another huge money maker. GBP was gonna do nothing but look out for Manny and that's what Roach knew. He knows Arum is just in it for Manny's money and the draw Manny has now. Sucks.

i think manny also thought that he would be arum's priority becasue arum ahs no one else. pac is the biggest fighter in arum's stable riht now unlike with gbp that where he aint.

Can't argue on that buddy, perfectly true.

i dont think roach and pac's friendship will end because of this.

Pac should have stay with Shaw Promotions. Maybe with Gary, he can both have fights agaisnt GBP and Top Rank fighters.

And as I have mentioned in my earllier post Bro. It doesn't look right that just one promoter will have the control on all the champs, challengers and up coming in one whole division.

It looks like GBP is trying to put up a dynasty. Damn GBP will be earning from both the Champs and the challengers. And who ever wins the title stays with GBP. That's a monopoly.

That's the best that could have happened.

[Easy-E]

I myself wanted Pac to be with GBP but taking a hard long look at the situation it looks like it's going to be better if Pac stays on the other side of the fence.

In the long run what will happen if GBP promotes and controls all the Champs and the challengers in a division?

Then there will be no qualms between promoters and they will have the oppourtounity to fight one another.
