    Since no one else is saying it, I will:

    What a cool guy Don King is... no really, seems like a real awesome character.

      Sulaiman is just lying through his teeth. Pacquiao should just say, "No way, Jose!"

        Manny Ain't Coming Back To 135 Anyway.

        He Just Wants Money Now. He'll Fight Ricky And Maybe Floyd At 140 If He Can Get By The Overrated Brit.

        Manny Don't Care About Titles. The Fool Is Just Money Hungry.

          yeah manny is the only fighter to ever want to make money......

          anyways...i say manny should just drop the wbc belt.

          he's gonna fight hatton and marquez after this anyway.

          neither have to be wbc title fights.

          let marco fight valero for the wbc 135 title.

          i wouldn't mind marco picking up a belt at 135.

          he'd school edwin valero even past prime.

            In conclusion Sulaiman said “We will always love Manny Pacquiao whether he stays or not, but we ask him to give consideration to the institution that opened the doors for his greatness."
            No..... No one would ever confuse Sulaiman and the WBC with beggars and belt merchants. They are just trying to charge fighters for fights they have nothing to do with, I see nothing wrong with that.

            Again, I have to agree with Sulaiman, Manny forgot that Jose was the one holding the focus mitts and pushing him in training.

            The fact that this is in the Hall of Fame ****ing disgraces and devalues the whole thing, that says more than enough about his and his organizations image.

                But the WBC are belt merchants. Why does it cost $30,000 for someone to hold a belt? We're beating a dead horse, obviously no one is going to do anything about these organizations anyway so why even waste breath on the subject.

                  In my opinion, $30,000 is a small amount to pay considering the Pacman is making millions. Why not just pay it and be rid of this drama. JAT

                    30 G's is still 30G's. He don't need that strap anymore, he's Manny Pacquiao. If boxers say "F.uck You" to the sanctioning bodies, then they will eventually lose their power.
