MURAD MUHAMMAD: I kept Pac away from African American fighters..

[Tsukiyomi]

This guy promoted Pacquiao as we all know, so there is no need to sit here and call him a liar. All promoters look to put their guy in fights they can win. If I was Pac's manager/promoter I wouldn't put him in with Floyd either. You think Arum is not feeling that same apprehension about putting him in the ring with Floyd? I assure you he is.

No one is more trustworthy than a promoter, especially one you sue.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ofcourse he does. So does Floyd against Arum.

When Marg or Cotto were on his doorstep.

I will never do business with Arum. He still owes me money. They aint big enough names, they need to come back to me when they are bigger.

For JMM, "he has a whole country behind him"

So did Marg and Cotto. More than JMM IMO.

Is JMM with Top Rank?

[PensionKiller]

Is JMM with Top Rank?

Pac is?

He did business with Arum for Pac. Whether it was amde or not, he didn't even start with Cotto or Marg.

When Murad Muhammad was handling Manny Pac. What African American fighters were there to fight in his weight-class?

none.

maybe derrick gainer at 126? yeah right......

pacquiao left muhammad after his 1st fight at 130.

only african americans you can say manny should have/could have fought are nate campbell , zahir raheem at 135 , timothy bradley at 140 , shane mosley at 147 ,etc.

not too many african american fighters in the featherweight divisions.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Is that because he comes with good points? :P

No actually its not. You can go through his post history to see his "good points".

[mangler jr]

Murad Muhammad is about as sleazy as they come Coach Webb.

I wouldn't put any stock in what he says.

Besides, Packy is about to fight the most possibly African guy in boxing today.

[tredh]

It all depends.

A lot of what Arum says is bull****.

But I do believe that Floyd may have ducked fighters who were better for fighters who were not as good for the money. This is when I do believe Arum to some extent.

IMO this was shown in the Oscar rematch plans before Oscar still wnated the bigger share. Then Floyd quit.

How can you believe Arum to some extent when there is a ESPN article floating around here where Arum says PBF agreed to fight Margarito for the 8 mill offer if Arum would garuntee PBF 10 mill for Cotto and 20 mill for De la Hoya. When Arum said no cause he didn't think PBF was worth that much PBF bought out his contract. So what is it that Arum says that makes you believe what he says after PBF left him?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Pac is?

He did business with Arum for Pac. Whether it was amde or not, he didn't even start with Cotto or Marg.

How did those talks with Pac go?

[jrosales13]

none.

I wouldn't even count Raheem. By the time Pac went up to 135 Raheem was not a legitimate opponent anymore... The other 3 you can make a case for like I did earlier...

Are you saying that did not happen like that?
