    And, with Arum saying no co-promotion he is the only option TBH.

    And, that is just crap.
    I don't like it either, but what you gonna do?

    arum got the ball and if you don't play by his rules, he's gonna take it home. anybody in arum's position would say the same thing.

      I will take Pac-Maidana as a close second

        You can call them on their bull**** and not defend that crap instead of trying to turn it around on Floyd like you tried to do with your first post in this thread.

          I agree with you but like i said, we can't control which fighter should fight who next. I even don't like Pac-MAB rematch. But as a fan, you can criticize me all you want, but i will watch it even if the fight has not that much value cuz of Mosley showing age.

          I am not making excuses but maybe Pac deserved an easy fight. Yeah he dominated all of his opponents since moving up to lightweight. But at ww and jr. mw, he took some hits too. In an interview, Pac said his body still aches after 2-3 days after the fight. Margarito, while slow, is no pushover. Forgot what round, Margarito hurt him to the body and i though Pac was going down.

          Pac said he has 3 more years left and if it is true, so there is still plenty of time to face more credible opponents.

            Also remember gentlemen. This is playing perfectly for Bob Arum, because since he did that horrid deadline garbage with Mayweather which Mayweather had alot of things going on during that period(His trainer on trial etcetc) which was basically the first terms on a 50/50 split even though Mayweather just come off a win against Mosley providing 70mill+ in PPV revenue. They still wanted the 50/50 split. I don't know about you, but at this point if I was Mayweather I'd figure I'm the bigger draw and ask for a 60/40 split, but hey that's just me.

            Now the media hyped into this and made Mayweather the "ducker" so Pacquiao basically became more famous. Thus increasing his popularity and PPV buys. This is perfect for Arum because he has YOU fans in the palm of his hand. He knows he can make millions fighting anyone. In this case It's Shane Mosley a guy coming off 2 bad performances. People are saying they'll boycott now, but just wait until the HBO hype train rolls in people will actually think Mosley will have a legitimate chance. So then you'll order the fight because they'll make it seem Pacquiao will lose so they're making it seem as an "historic" event.

            Bob Arum is a scumbag and he's ruining the fight, if you can't see it then I suggest you take a few business courses.

              For me, it doesn't have to be Floyd, just a worthy opponent who doesn't have a past of being beat up brutally before they face him. Mosley, JMM, or Berto (not ready) are not worthy opponents IMO.

                So Pac-Mosley it is then since I doubt Dibella would not allow TR getting all the money.

                Pathetic really.
                Pathetic is an understatment.

                Very sad, but hey, it is what it is my man. I honestly think that Arum doesn't want to make that fight with Floyd at all. Arum doesn't want Manny to be tested.
