Pacquiao to skip NY trip!

[Deja_Vous]

Pac needs to attend this event. He's the face of boxing now. Arum need to send his Private jet to pick up Pac then return him home after the Cotto fight.

Pac should have his own private jet by now.

Pac wont be fighting cotto. He is either going to fight mosley or mayweather.

I think so as well, the real reason, he's not showing up is because he saw some of the Cotto's outdoor video workout and said to himself, I want no part of that.
No need to scout a fighter, I won't be fighting and besides Arum wants that fight not me. Poor Arum, if and when Cotto wins, he has no leverage in re-signing Cotto. GBP, here comes COTTO!

Manny Pacquiao has decided to stay in the Philippines instead of attending Friday night’s Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) banquet at the Capitale in New York. Pacquiao was interviewed by a TV network and his handlers confirmed that the pound-for-pound king has opted to remain in the country and go on a vacation instead in Bohol or Dakak, two well-known local destinations. The BWAA named Pacquiao as Fighter of the Year for 2008, the second time Pacquiao will get the award after being voted in 2006. Pacquiao was on hand when he got the 2006 award at the Copacabana, also in New York. Pacquiao will also miss Saturday night’s big fights featuring prospective foe Miguel Cotto at the Madison Square Garden. Pacquiao’s Canadian adviser Mike Koncz said in a text message Tuesday night that he will instead fly to New York to accept the BWAA award “on Pacquiao’s behalf.” Koncz said he hasn’t talked with Top Rank head Bob Arum about Pacquiao’s decision “but I left message on his phone.” Koncz said Pacquiao cited family commitments as reason for his decision not to go. In the event Pacquiao makes a last-minute decision to go, he can still make it to the Big Apple if he leaves Manila on Friday morning via Northwest Airlines. Owing to the time difference, Pacquiao will arrive there on the same day.

Is he Qscared???[/UOTE]

Scared of what? Or should I say, scared of who???

Good!

Now we can get Cotto/PW or Cotto/Stalking Shane Mosley!

Plz fight PW! U already beat the Stalker.

Assuming he wins like most think except me!

If he does lose we will get Clottey vs PW for sure! Thats too much money for Clottey to turn down.

[AntonTheMeh]

the cotto pac fight is arum trying to sucker cotto in to staying with top rank.that is all it is.he knows may pac is the fight where he'd make a ton of money in.anuybody who thought it was actually going to happen is a fool.

I mean it's pretty obvious for Pacquiao, you either drain the crap out of Cotto and Mosley to 142 and add tarnished wins to your resume or you fight them at 147 and get knocked out early.

Fight Mayweather, who can get down to 142 with ease, and it would not only add the best name to your resume if you won (which he won't), but it's also the most even fight, physically, for him.

Nice avatar, I grew up in the projects right next to hers, "Bronx Dale!"

lolz, you mean that light work out?

cotto wasn't even working hard. why would pac fear that?

No need to scout a fighter, I won't be fighting and besides Arum wants that fight not me. Poor Arum, if and when Cotto wins, he has no leverage in re-signing Cotto. GBP, here comes COTTO!

the cotto/pac fight was always an Arum plan to keep cotto in his stable. saying pac is scare of cotto is ignorant.

the cotto pac fight is arum trying to sucker cotto in to staying with top rank.that is all it is.he knows may pac is the fight where he'd make a ton of money in.anuybody who thought it was actually going to happen is a fool.

exactly! and fools that think pac is scared of cotto actually bought into arum's hype machine and promotional prowess.

yep, mosley and cotto are just too big for pac. mosley can cotto are basically MWs on fightnight and pac is a WW on fight night.

its a mismatch with the catchweight.

Fight Mayweather, who can get down to 142 with ease, and it would not only add the best name to your resume if you won (which he won't), but it's also the most even fight, physically, for him.

yep, floyd atleast is a small WW.
