      Now the *******s have moved toward discrediting Berto. They sound like lapdog Floyd fans from 2006.

        My favorite part of the article:

        I almost can see the way the conversation Arum had with Pacquiao went down in the Philippines last week when Arum presented Pacquiao with the three term sheets, knowing all along he wasn't going to take anyone but Mosley.

        Pacquiao: I think I'd like to fight Marquez.
        Arum: Did you say Mosley?
        Pacquiao: No, Marquez. We have unfinished business and we had two great fights.
        Arum: Did you say Mosley, or did I hear you say Miguel Cotto for a rematch?
        Pacquiao: Well, maybe Berto. He's a good, young fighter. He's very fast.
        Arum: Mosley, that's what I thought you said.
        Pacquiao: Bob, I think I definitely want the third fight with Marquez. That's what my coach, Freddie Roach, wants. That's what the fans want. That's what I want.
        Arum: So if it's the fight with Mosley you want, then the fight with Mosley it shall be.
        Pacquiao: Lock up Marquez, please. Let's get it done.
        Arum: Fine, we'll get Mosley, whatever you say. You're the boss. Someone get me James Prince on the phone so we can lock this up.

        While Arum was getting Mosley and his adviser, Prince, on the phone, boxing fans around the world were reaching for a barf bag.
        Manny's partly to blame for this but Arum that dirty J-O-O.

          Oh please. Arum works for Manny. Manny makes the decision. Manny takes blame. End of story. And it's always been that way. ****, there have been times Arum has had to come out of his own pocket to appease his spoiled client. So let's cut the **** and point the finger squarely where it needs to be pointed. Not partly because we're looking for some sort of an out. That part of the article was so pathetic and speaks to the fangless and illogical thinking of boxing writers today.

              Lol even Pac's biggest nuthugger knows bull**** when he sees it, Berto made 1 mill fighting a bum, so asking for 3.5 mill when fighting pac is not pricing himself out not even close. Pac has no excuses.
