    I mean why don't they be like Floyd!

    When he's peppered with questions about Pacquiao, he shuts them all up with a brilliant reply:

    "....Like i said I'm taking a coupla years off"

    That's the way to handle stinging reporters!
    Just admit that as much as you don't like floyd, he plays the media brilliantly. All Manny should do is keep quiet but its like he and Bob just have to say something in the media.
    The difference in the camps lately has been that anything crazy from floyds camp has come from his pops. The crazy stuff from Manny's camp seems to come from Manny.

      Hey I agree with you.

      The whole point for me is Floyd's his own boss, and if there's anything proven for Floyd is no one can force him to do anything. Props for that!

      That's what Manny gets when he's got a team and entourage the size of a crew ship, and everyone speaking their mind out and didn't care how they sound.

      In the end, entouraged or a one man gang, both are circus feasts!

        I'm surprised Bob hasn't taken more control of the situation. I just think floyd jr. and schaffer have stuck by the no negotiating in the media. Bob and Manny have talked at least 3x about prospective opponents, asian bettors in vegas and accepting 14 day cutoffs.

        Bob is usually more savvy at controlling the media. IMO, his actions have really backfired. Since the floyd mosley fight he has been struggling to gain the upper hand.

          Bob can't really and hasn't really the entire time he has had Manny as his fighters

          no one has. It's what is great and bad about Manny having so many people around him

          1. he loves his people and accommodates them well
          2. so many people are now part of his circle he cannot possibly control what is being said.

          that speaks pure nightmare for TR and their PR team

            Lets not forget the greatness of Floyds camp! Being surrounded by murder suspects, having a trainer who is facing a long prison sentence, and a host of other diluted convicted felons. Nah his camp isn't a circus either!

              The choice really is, up to the eye of the beholder, of who's more of a circus in Team Pac and The Mayweathers. For me they both are!

              It's clear who's the bigger mental institution though...

                True but Bob ****ed up big time when he signed Manny v. Clottey and forced the May SSM fight. From the low ppv#'s,to the fact HBO didn't do a 24/7, to the criticism lampley recieved for the **** **** crap, clottey not punching. It looked like Bob staged a sparring session.

                Floyd ssm had a larger live gate in a smaller arena, more ppv'ssold, a 24/& backing from HBO, and put to rest Bob's 5 month argument that floyd was ducking bigger fighters. Floyd gained the negotiating leverage and the edge in the media.

                  Are you seriously comparing Clotty vs Pac to Shane vs Floyd?

                    The point isn't who is in the camp but what they are saying and doing. Criticize floyd sr. and roger all you want but they are playing their cards right.

                    The thing is pistol makes a good point. Based on their past, most expect floyds camp to be a circus. But Manny's camp doesn't have the same cast of charachters so you expect a more controlled atmosphere.

                      Fame creates a circus that something to be expected no matter who is surrounding you.
