    You can get away with anything if you have money.

    You really think he's going to be doing hard time for dumb **** he did when OJ got away with murder, Chris Brown beat the **** out of his ex and got community service, celebrities get DUI's and get fines, community service, etc.

      Because Arum is "trying his darndest" to milk Manny with "fights" before he gets schooled by Mayweather.

      They can also keep promoting Manny off Mayweather's name for his future fights while setting up hilarious smokescreens to Manny's willingness to submit to full random OST, no cutoff's, anytime, anyplace while hoping the genral public gets tired of the actual request itself and decides to overlook it while they buy time in finding ways around it if they eventually do have to submit to it to fight Mayweather.

      They also will feed Manny more washed up, old, shot, weight drained fighters, look for new vacant belts while Mayweather once he comes back has to fight the best fighters out there while Manny blatantly avoids them yet gets the "glory" and add's their names to his resume after they've been beaten while upping the ante and leverage in barganing with Floyd.

      There's MANY reasons.

              Bob Arum plans these things way ahead.

              during Cotto vs. Clottey, Arum would not stop talking about Pacquiao vs. Cotto.

              during the first Mayweather vs. Pacquiao negotiations, he already knew he was gonna put Clottey in there. he would not stop threatening to pull the plug on the negotiations and put Manny up against Clottey.

              after Margarito vs. Garcia, Margarito mentioned in a mexican tv interview that he was promised by Bob Arum that a Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight would happen.

              and throughout these latter part of 2010, Arum has been quite fond of Manny vs. Mosley.... and look what fight happened.


              Manny Pacquiao just fights anyone that Arum puts in front of him.

                it's amazing that people criticize promoters for stalling on fights then when a fight they don't like gets done easy people say what's the rush

                amazing I tell ya

                people need to see this as nothing more than a stay busy fight for Manny and a gold watch fight for Shane

                nada mas

                  Stay busy fight? Why does he need a stay busy fight when you have legit guys wanting to fight Manny like Martinez and JMM?

                    Arum is all about maximizing $$$.

                      let's see

                      Martinez- I thought they had stated they really didn't want to entertain fights at 154 anymore? From I heard despite the rumors of 148 this fight will be at 147 for Manny's WBO strap.

                      so again how is Martinez a viable opponent?

                      JMM- ah poor JMM. Well I do think that JMM is 2-0 against Manny but let's be honest now. Manny could make 140 but why? and lest we forget inspite of what dear ole GBP says they still will have a hand in this fight if ever made. Manny seems to want to stay at 147 and we all saw how JMM looked at that weight. At least Shane is more accustomed to 147 than JMM



                      in all honestly the only fighter out there with an actual case is Berto as he seemingly asked for a decently low guarantee

                      but I am guessing Arum sees this fight as more lucrative than a fight with a young unknown champ in Berto
