PAC Fans Please Ask Bob Arum What is Ducking?

[Ray*]

Pac against anyone is alway an attraction but we all want to see Pacquiao-Mayweather, And no Pac isnt ducking Berto he would destroy Berto.

[-GDS-]

I think after the low PPV's the Clottey fight got Pac isn't willing to do another no-namer immediately after. Even Arum will make less money since its not in house.

Ducking? Not really, avoiding a low reward fight...definately. Berto fight would be a decent fight, however, all hate for Margacheato aside...Marg makes more sense, more crowd pleasing, more fans and he has more of a chance of beating Pac IMO.

If Marg had a better shot, he won't be the frontrunner for a Pac fight IMO.

Top Rank's Bob Arum told Chris Mannix at SI.com he had "no interest" in matching Berto with Manny Pacquiao. "Berto does nothing for me on a pay-per-view," said Arum

Isn't this ducking? Or, is it good business because its high risk no reward. I think Pac beats Berto easy. Apparently, bob doesn't. Is Bob scared? Bob's answer wasn't about win or lose or respect or Berto being an upstanding citizen who deserves a shot it was about money generated. iS paC SCARED OF bERTO?

Please all Pac fans please make sure you remember this the next time you go on a thread with the "Floyd is ducking" OR ANY OF THE OTHER BULL**** YOU POST.

Manny is just getting to where floyd has been for over 2 years. As such, he is operating the same way. When Pac fans become boxing fans they will understand this.

Peace!!

yall using the word duck.. lol! pacman ducks no one.. and that should be obvious by now. And marg and berto both get wrecked anyway.. FLOYD is next. Dude talkin way too much, pac needs to servem.. but floyd will give pacman trouble.

I wouldn't say "Pac ducks no one"...quite a few people he has ducked...when he finally doesn't duck the top 2 WW,he will lose.

[| THE KING |]

as opposed to ducking to fight margs???riiiite...

Stick with the original question and stop inventing extremes to make your point. Berto didn't call out Pac. The SI announcer, who feels Berto is #3 ww behind may and pac, asked Bob a question about them fighting and Bob answered.

I'm not saying its ducking. I'm asking why floyd's actions are demmed different then pacs when it comes to selecting fights once you attain a certain status in boxing

I wasn't replying to you. If anyone needs to stick to the original question, its the guy I was replying to.

A duck is a duck, and it's been a commonly used tactic by team Pac, especially African American fighters.

Nope, no need for all that, I will however mention 3 top 5 WW's, all of whom Pac apparently has no interest in fighting.

the only reason Berto is a top5 WW is cause Pac beat the **** out of 2 of the other top5 WW. Its never good enough.

Pac and Arum are nothing more than a joke.

You can't call it a duck every time someone calls out Pac.

If you could you'd have to mention Nate Campbell, and I think Lamont Peterson called out Pac at some point. And even BHOP said something about fighting Pac, but Pac ducked him.

Add to those black fighters all the latino fighters that Pac ducked like Humberto Soto, Juan Diaz, Joan Guzman, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Edwin Valero. And if Pac doesn't fight MArgarito, you can add Margarito's name to the list.

You know I think that Vic Darchinyan called out Pac at some point. Add him and Yuri Foreman to the list of Middle Eastern fighters that Pac ducked.

I'm sure he's ducked alot more, that ****ing *****.

WTF? Mayweather is the one who duck Pac by requesting his own testing.

In the mind of children, I could see where that conclusion could possibly be made. However, I'm a rational adult with an independent line of thinking, and I know better than that.
