Did Manny pick Shane, or was it Bob?

[cixthree]

I remember Bob saying it was Mannys choice. As far as JMM outpricing himself, all I heard was Bob saying that. We all know how uncle Bob likes to stretch and twist things, but is that the reason Manny did'nt choose him?
Manny/JMM 3 has all the makings of a legacy enhancer, I can see the title already "Unfinished Buisness"..

Berto, well they're saying a lot of things about this. He's not fought anyone elite yet, well Clottey and Margs havent beaten anyone elite in years (In Margs case without plaster).
At this point Berto vs Margs or Clottey is a toss up, so why not Berto? Not saying he'll win, but why not the young guy... I'm sure he's not asking for much, maybe even less than Shane.

And we all know the Floyd/Manny drama, for now Floyds out of the picture...

That leaves Shane Mosley, 39 years old, looked like crap his last 2 fights and is clearly a washed up fighter.
Shane Mosley, a bigger name but an easier roll of the dice. Is Manny thinking of money only, or is he fighting for pride?

If Manny chose Shane, this is why......

JMM is a problem, not saying he'd beat the much bigger, stronger, faster Manny now. But Manny will more than likely not look as good as he should, according to how good he's looked in the past.
The thinking is Manny should crush JMM at this point, but what if he can't.
JMM is too much risk, at around the same reward.

Berto is just too risky, to young, to strong and will be going in to win big. He may lose, but then again he may win..

Mosley.... In the words of Money May himself "Stick um up".... Lets rob the bank, no guns needed....
Shane is just a name, a shell of what that name used to be. Easy fight all around the board, his last 2 fights confirmed that.

If Manny chose Shame Mosley over Berto and JMM, he's an opportunistic, money hungry coward!

It's pac decision in the end and at the same time I don't think it takes much for the bobfather to convince pacquiao to do what he wants.

[jrosales13]

At what weight would said JMM fight take place?

[Elfysdemize2212]

Pac has the choice

Like pacquiao says, hes just there to do his job, bob is putting mosley to make pacquiao look good like always, but hey... thats what a promotor is supposed to do... $$$ makes the world go around. I dont blame pac, its not doing him any harm, his whole country is behind him all the way.

[THE REED]

It doesnt matter... Pacquiao still had to sign the contract.

"I am just doing my chop"
Manny fights whoever thats infront of him, Arum is the one making shi*ty fights.

[Weebler I]

Arum picked him, and he stated his reasons - bigger business. Pacquiao doesn't give a ****, he'll fight whoever he's asked to fight.

[Pullcounter]

pac chose mosley, but most likely arum heavily stacked the deck in mosley's favor.

[Tomislav III]

I'm convinced taht Mosley wasn't Pacquiao's first choice, but he took Mosley when it was put in front of him by Arum. He still has the obligation to his fight fans to put his footdown on such awful fights like this.

[Thread Stealer]

Arum may "pick" the fights for him, but Pacquiao is the one who ultimately makes the decision and signs the contract. Pacquiao is not some up-and-comer, he's a huge name in the sport and can pretty much get any fight he wants, except for maybe Mayweather and this whole PED/vacation/court case/etc. drama.
