    Good job keeping Pacquiao away from Tim Bradley again, Arum.

    Last year Tim won a poll on Top Rank's website as who the fans wanted to see Pac fight next. Arum said he would have to be a bigger draw before he would be considered as an opponent.

    Well, Bradley has a huge fight HBO in January. Million-dollar purses going to each fighter, and HBO is so excited about this fight, they're producing a Countdown for it. How many million dollar purses or HBO Countdowns had Josh Clottey had?

    So, what does Arum do? He makes sure Pacquiao selects an opponent before Bradley-Alexander. Anything to keep Pacquiao away from any talent or from anyone that's not Top Rank.

    ****ing pathetic.

    then let's all hype him up for Pacquiao

      That is pathetic.

      Bradley (or any young fighter really) is gonna have to sign with Top Rank if he wants to have any chance at Pac.

      I'm just curious to see who Arum has lined up for Pac after Mosley. You know he's not waiting for Floyd, and Arum loves sealing the deal for Pac's next fight only weeks after his previous one.

        Pac/Mosley in May

        Cotto/Margarito II is in June

        Are you thinking what Arum's thinking?

        Don't say it won't happen. Because it totally could and probably will.

          Manny didn't have any luxury to select his next opponent

          as you can see he's so warped up in his own world of politics, showbiz, advertisements etc.

          suddenly boxing to him is secondary

          so yeah, were pretty much ****** up to what can Arum gives us

            Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking.

            I just didn't want to type it, because it might come true. I was just curious if Arum had any other options, or if he's pretty much set on this.

            This Mosley fight tells us one thing. Arum has almost no limits.

              Pac is officially in his own world now, not that he ever had final say before.

              I'll always be a Pacquiao fan, but I really hope retires in the next 2 years. I'm honestly not that interested in a Pac fight outside of Floyd, but I would have ordered and supported almost any other fight besides Mosley.

                Bradley wouldnt have a chance vs Manny and Devon would be brutalised very quickly, these fights do nothing for me if im honest

                  The one thing I will say is Cotto is a much more marketable rematch than Margarito for Manny. This is good, because I believe Margarito will definitely win in the rematch. Margarito looks like he really belongs and JMW, and he's found an excellent trainer in Garcia. Steward, on the other hand, is just collecting a paycheck with Cotto.

                  Margarito winning would put Arum between a rock and a hard place, so let's hope that happens.

                  If Cotto wins, we'll be seeing Pacquiao-Cotto II in November. Mark my words!
