ARUM: It's not my decision... MANNY will decide who he fights!

[Rolaz]

What if Pacman says he wanna fight MAYWEATHER JR ???

The truth is there ain't no good relationship between Top Rank and Golden Boy promotion so fighting Marquez has a slim chance!

Arum will certainly favors his fellow american Shane Mosley!

[serv]

So all of a sudden Arums telling the truth?!? Don't think for a damn second that Arum wont play up the guy he wants and play down the ones he doesn't

That is for sure. he will play up the mosley fight as more advantageous to Pacquiao. Arum is not working for the best interest of Pacquiao. That I am also sure.

[Ryannn]

But Arum's a liar remember? Can't trust anything he says... unless it fits your agenda of course.

****** *******, roach/arum only lies when what they say favors pacquiao.

otherwise, they say the truth!

[al-Xander]

****ing ****** Team Marquez still doesn't get it.
Old man Arum is playing his cards like he always did.
He's basically saying, "If you can't come up with a better
deal, then I'll convince Pac that Mosley is the best
option." The typical deadline is there: Dec. 14, 2010.

You haven't met a lot of Asians huh? Not Asian-Americans.........Asians.

What the **** ever man...I dont believe Manny is a super nice church choir boy...

And Margarito hasn't been **** since getting annahliated by Mosley and getting caught cheating. He looked like weak **** vs. Garcia. What surprised me in that fight is he lasted 12 rounds. I'll pick any TOP fighter from 140-160 to clearly outpoint Margarito. And Martinez has come A LONG way since the Margarito fight.

We're really not so sure about that.
I would think that Mosley is just a card Arum is holding
to keep GBP at bay in the negotiation. In Arum's mind
the trilogy is still preferable than the Mosley fight. It's
up to GBP to play along to secure the fight or give up
the fight playing hard ball.

Just my 2 cents.

Whenever Arum says something that shames the unabashed Pacquiao fans, they immediately counter by reminding everyone that Bob said it, not Manny. "Oh, that's not what Manny really wants. Freddie/Arum might've said that but look what Manny said over here!" Ok, well then what the ****! Why doesn't Manny tell Bob he wants the Floyd Mayweather fight? I don't understand this "Mayweather is unreachable" crap. You can't claim "Floyd is in hiding" when the fighter standing right in front of you shows any inclination that he wants that to change. Damn, Manny if you're totally going to ignore every exciting matchup (for the fans you want to please) then at least fight Berto or something. Yeah, I know the outcome is a spectacular KO for Manny but at least it's not some retread like Mosley or Marquez. Enough already. Fight the guys we want or go play in Congress.

No doubt it's Pacquiao's decision, but you also have to consider the influence over that decision.

So all of a sudden, this illiterate pinoy suddenly talks about business and promoters losing money. What?

"If it's Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be easy. Even if you wake me up in the middle of the night and asked me to sign a contract, that's easy. But the problem is - you can't just promote a match when the promoter would lose money. Boxing is also a business," said Pacquiao.

jonaire, you're one of the few Pacquiao fans I respect on here but that reasoning just doesn't fly. An "illiterate pinoy suddenly talks about business?" Uhh...you mean the one who just recently gave a speech in front of his Parliament? The one on Jimmy Kimmel? Wapakman Manny? HBO PPV Manny? I'd say he understands business quite well. Just because you come from the street doesn't mean you can't comprehend business. If you're a natural then you'll do well once you learn the rules of that particular game.

This douche bag is still holding on to his OST ****.
It's almost 2011 and he still thinks Floyd's going on
vacation has something to do with it. ****ing girly
emotional nonsense.

Actually it's not what the boxing fans want. Hardcores are the minority. Sucks but true.

True!!! Its about what sells to the casual fans, Hardcore boxing fans cant be fooled so no point targeting that market with mediocre fights.
