Comments Thread For: Schaefer Feels Arum is Cherry Picking Pacquiao's Fights

[Check_hooks]

Pacquiao would easily fight Marquez but he said no one will pay to watch it. At this point in Pac's career its all about big money fights. Marquez aint a big money fighter. Never was.

thats what people said about margarito,that he was not a big money fighter,and look,it did over a million buys,and i think with marquez it would do more,as long as it's a well known mexican figher,it sells,mexican fans buy and go to fights,thats why when you have ppv,they always have a mexican figher to help sell the ppv,to get the mexican fans interested in buying it...marquez vs pac will sell,better than second fight for sure

Again it was competitive for 2 rounds, Pac-Cotto was competitive for 4 or 5 rounds. This is looking at it in hindsight.

Williams-Martinez was going to be competitive, FOTY type of fight. Pac-Oscar was a mismatch in Oscar favor. Oscar was the one that was looking as cherry picking in that fight. Speaking in going into the fight.

If we're talking about Pac-Margarito and comparing it to Williams-Martinez then fine OK. If we're talking about since the JMM fight like that poster mentioned then better in what way? And, are we talking about the perception going into the fight or looking at it in hindsight?

dude you must be a huge pac fan,if you really believe pac fights prime fighters,fine.lol

i don't think you can call cotto drained when he rehydrated on fight night almost 10 lbs, hatton was the king at 140 lbs thats where manny fought him. floyd made hatton go up to 147. and whne you're out weighed by 17 lbs on fight night with a heavy handed guy like margarito you run the risk of getting caught. manny's matched up well but not protected there's a difference.

explain the difference,only difference to me is matched up well sounds a little nicer than protected....he's protected man

Well Richard does Golden Boy have anyone who could beat Pac?
And talk about cherry picking what about carrot top Alvarez?

Once again pacq can do no wrong. its all up to his promoter. GTFOH with all that BS! This fraud controls his own career. Stop falling for this gullible nice guy shyt. It has gotten real old real fast.

Now he needs to step up and stop with all the deceit and REALLY give the ppl what they want. The number indicate that he is second fiddle t the table so get this shyt done and stop with the garbage.

I was being sarcastic, that's why I put that he did fight black slick fighters. Relax.

What happened I thought Manny fought for the fans? Also you are right Marquez is not a big money fighter but neither is Mosley and neither was Margarito.

Schaefer is right about Arum taking charge of his fighters
careers. Cotto and Manny are known for the phrase
"Whoever my promoter wants me to fight". I think that
is why De La Hoya and Mayweather Jr left Arum because
both of them are very strong willed and likes to have
control and that attribute doesn't go over well when it
goes to working with Arum.

.. yep.. cherrypicking through divisions. Let's see any one of the 140 lbs hop up to 147 to fight Cotto/Clottey.. then even a catchweight against Marg at 150. See how they fare.
