After losing a one sided fight against supposed tune up in Raheem, Bob Arum still put Pacquiao against Morales. In fact, listen closely to what he says.
i do see people's argument though on why manny took erik instead of zahir--erik beat manny in their 1st fight, but he should have in no way ducked raheem the way he did--
manny ducks fighters through his promoter and team--it's kind of like he's taking the steam off of him--but that don't fly with me--
manny plays it safe by saying it's up to his promoter--because bob arum is a sissy when it comes to matching manny with fighters who would and could beat him decisively--ala raheem and floyd and shane back in 2009--
look at it this way little homeys---it was arum who didn't want to put cotto in the ring with floyd back in late 2005 and all of 2006--and even 2007--just look at how cotto answered the questions asked of him about fighting floyd--which goes on to show me that cotto was really only about the big payday--
does it seem ironic to you that his 2 biggest stars after floyd always answered with, it's up to my promoter--and you people claim it's not in their nature to call a fighter out--by trash talking him--they just fight--but bob arum knows how basically impossible it is for cotto and manny to ever come close to beating floyd--which is why after cotto came to back to back fights of floyd--he kept his mouth shut about fighting him---basically at bob's demand--
bob said pretty much anyway--hell no--why waste cotto fighting floyd, a no win fight for him, when i can throw margarito at floyd--because after he loses to floyd, who really cares--cotto is still his top fighter--
think about it kids--it's been so obvious--there was no way in hell bob was going to put manny in their with raheem--it was a no win situation--moralles was the legend--zahir was just the better fighter at the time--no drawing power like erik--and manny didn't speak up wanting to fight raheem either-lol---
bob arum is a greedy snake, but a genius in this regard also--why do you think it took manny so long to fight marquez again--
toprank can lie to the public all they want, seeing how majority of casual fans are gullible and naive when it comes to boxing anyway-lol
it doesn't really matter to him--as long as he gets the fans to love his fighters so much that he gets more money--you see after he matched up cotto and margarito and clottey with manny--he threw those guys away--manny is his star fighter---he banks on manny the same way he did with de la hoya and floyd jr...
just pay attention people--keep an open mind--you have to when dealing with toprank's head honcho--bobo arum--lol
it was not that long ago when bob called floyd the greatest fighter of the last 40 years--he wasn't talking so much about his resume at the time--he was talking about that ****er's skill and talent--it's scary--bob is a student of the game, i'll give him that--he actually knows fighters' skillset--and he knew raheem was too much for manny at the time--why risk another star fighter who is now his top star fighter--
