Seriously, most of you know that Arum was really the one that killed the Pac-Mayweather fight. So why hate on Pac so much and continue with the accusation of PEDs? Any respectable boxing fan would appreciate this little Filipino's heart and hardwork, and whenever he says that he can't guarantee a win, but always promises an exciting fight, how in the world, as boxing fans, can you hate him??
So this is really more about Arum & Floyd. Yes, I said Floyd-isn't he his own boss like he says? This fight seemed to be more about Arum & Floyd's egoes and both have an ongoing hatred for each other since they split up. Pac rarely trash talks about Floyd and only in response to Floyd's comments, and Floyd used to respect the Filipino as well. Pac never cares about who he fights, he has nothing to lose but everything to gain. Is it possible his team ducked other fighters that can give him problems? Sure, but I can guarantee that that decision was more from Roach and Arum and not Pac. Boxing is just a job for Pac ("nothing personal, I'm just doing my job") and at the end of the day, he just do what his bosses, Roach and Arum, says.
Sidenote: Keep in mind that Pac was willng to get tested right after the fight, but for some reason on a TV interview, Arum made an excuse about the dangers of being tested in the locker room after the fight, wtf? Arum didn't want this fight yet, not Pac, period.
Knowing that Floyd has a good chance on beating Pac (maybe even advised by Roach that Pac is not 100% ready for Floyd), Arum didn't want to take that chance yet since losing to Floyd could make Arum look bad. Then Floyd will have all the bragging rights on beating Arum's main money-making machine (Pac).
