Hello all. Its been a while. Hope everyone is doing well. Just thought I'd drop a lil tidbit after reading this. Its been discussed and debated often and usually leads to posts accussing racism. Hopefully, that will end.
BTW, Pac wins easy tomorrow. Most of my boys have been asking about the fight. I said I wasn't going to order it but it looks like all my people want to see it. Fihgt should do 1 mil easy. I'll holla
• If Pacquiao wins and a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. still can't be made, whom will he fight?
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum outlined three possibilities: Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez for a third fight or a rematch with Miguel Cotto.
Although Mosley has long been tied to Top Rank enemy Golden Boy, he has been telling people he is a free agent and can deal with whatever promotional company he wants. When asked about that, Arum's response was a terse, "I have no comment."
OK, so how would Arum sell a fight with Mosley, who was routed by Mayweather in May and then looked terrible in a draw with Sergio Mora in September?
"That's something that I'm paid to do," Arum said. "Our market now [for Pacquiao] is not dependent [only] on the boxing fan. People want to see this guy, people want to see him being tested. When was the last time that Pacquiao fought an African-American? When was the last time?"
Pacquiao hasn't faced an African-American fighter.
"Bingo. Bingo," Arum replied.
