Comments Thread For: Arum: Berto is The Toughest Sell For Manny Pacquiao

[ny123]

Same guy who set up Clottey/Pacquiao. Juan Manuel Marquez
and Andre Berto has more fans than Joshua Clottey. Arum is
just trying to make sure Pac has full advantages over his
opponents and Mosley is the most shot out of the 3.

I agree to some extent but that had to do more with keeping the money in house because Clottey is a better fighter then Berto.

they acting like Pac won't make over 20M anyway. This is why boxing is hurting. The new school fighters can't make a name b/c no one wants to give them a chance. Then when Berto keep fighting hs mandos people gon complain about he not fighting nobody or bring enough money.

I agree. Berto should be top priority, Shane at the bottom. Fans need fresh faces in boxing.

So it's all about the draw huh. It's all about cheese. I though it was about the legacy and making fights that the fans want to see.

They call Floyd the ***** because he's scared of Pacquiao. But Floyd is the king of all draws and the keyholder to the bank vault.

All it would take Pacquiao to do is take that little step and say "You know what, **** it, I'll take those ****ing tests that Floyd want with no cut off dates to give the people what they want to see."

But does Pac really want to fight Floyd?? Hmmmmm, naaaaahh.

Answer: Because they don't want to wait and or fight Mayweather.

agreed. pac should take a break and just wait for floyd OR fight serge @154.

WTF is he bionicman, jumping about 4 different division, come on lets be consistent or you dont get any credibility on your claim

Manny Pacquiao is a 147 pound and 154 pound belt holder so he should have no problem fighting at those weights - including fighting Marquez at the 144 pound CW.


He weighed 144 for the Margarito fight and if he decreased the amount of calories he takes during training to make the welterweight limit, then he is definitely capable of dropping back down to 140.


As for 160, that's never going to happen, but if he decides to go for another divisional title it would be one for the record books.

Not after that Pacquiao fight.

I like Berto among the contenders though but building up his name by fighting either Cotto or Margarito or Mosley will do him much better. And if he wins he'll have a date with Pac next November.

Wait for Floyd nah thats ****** Mayweather doesnt really want the fight.Its obvious him and his father are shook to death.

Floyd is not even thinking of boxing right now, so save your ****test opinion when floyd will come back from his vacation (or from jail maybe, who knows).
