Pacquiao Picks Arum Over De La Hoya

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

Yeah no qualm between promoters because GBP monopolises everything. And they'll make their pockets thicker by earning from both sides.

GBP is worst than ****i'm DON KING and ARUM.

what we actually need to do is wait and see. no statements from gbp yet?

How in the world do you sign contracts with two seperate promotions and the second supercedes the first when the first is still active? There must've been a significant breach of contract on GBP end. Any further info on this?

The case is still in court buddy. In fact Arum himself acknowledged that there's still a chance that Pacquiao could end up with GBP as the court may rule later.

"I hope you're right..but many fighters who I think are rather close with their trainers end up leaving them. As far as development...what trainer has done more in recent memory than Roach has for Pac-man? I can't think of any one fighter showing more improvement than Freddie has done with Manny."


or vise-versa Pac-man for Roach? yes Roach can be the dream coach or trainer to every boxer, but so is manny pacquiao as dream fighter for any coach or trainer. the guy has power the guy has speed and most of all the willingness and the propensity to learn. he has given roach the opportunity to showcase his expertise, his talent his capability, bragging rights. its a simbiotic relationship. one trainer cannot just pick a boxer and turn them into a champion, much more chance upon an exciting and a game one like pacman.
the pacman is only living up to his reputation, he is probably one of the most exciting fighter this time. you see how intrigues revolves around the guy. we maybe underestimating him especially with his signing of two contracts, but who knows, maybe its deliberate, a part of a plan. this guy pacman, IMO, is intelligent, sharp, hes witty. proof? if he aint he will not absorb the teachings of roach. and he knows where he is, if not he'll not train like hell everytime he has a fight. he learns from his mistakes and improves.
his existence in our midst, in boxing, is not harming the sport, and i enjoy his being around, i hope hell lasts as long as he can. as for roach, how can a father abandon the son hes claiming to be? but if the son was made to decide to part ways with the father, which i doubt, well it only adds up to the drama, so lets just sit down and enjoy the subplot. cheers!
