    Kind of got bored after Cotto, never watched Clottey and just saw a repeat of Margo. Not interested in seeing him beat up an old Mosley(as long as he trains properly this time), Pac should have fought Berto imo

    I just remember how SRL lost the true boxing fans by the time he fought Hearns 2, would hate to see that with Pac. Arum's milking is worse than King in some respects.
    Yeah I know how you feel, I've turned down so many 3somes because of Pacquiao it's getting ridiculous.

          I agree. I didn't see it at first and fell for the smoke and mirrors routine that Arum threw at us, but it's becoming more apparent what's going on. They are using the Floyd fight as the "carrot" to dangle in front of us fans. Arum has been promoting his last three "stars" the same way....."Hey fans, this is the guy that can beat Floyd." They keep beating that drum all the while putting on fights against other opponents drawing more interest for themselves and create a growing displeasure with Floyd each time he's not standing in the other corner. IF Pac ever fight Floyd, it'll be his "apex" fight. I'm pretty confident that if someone can find out the terms of Pac's and Arum's contract and how many more fights Pac has with him, only then will we get the answer on when the Pac vs Floyd will happen. That's why recently Arum has already had Pac's next fight signed, sealed, and delivered before the arena is cleared on fight night. For instance, if Pac has an 8 fight deal with Arum, why would Arum put the Floyd fight as fight #2 and potentially mess up future earnings? When Pac is ready to hang 'em up, only then will Arum get serious with a Floyd fight and try to cash in.

            Champ KW, yes thats about right. The Floyd fight is 2 yrs overdue, I'm starting to believe it won't happen. Pac has lost some of his motivation which scares me to think he might get hurt over the next couple of fights. Roach knows Pac is his main motivation to carry on so he worries what will happen to him when pac has gone. Basically Arum and everyone else has a vested interest in Pac fighting as long as possible, I don't like it at all, he should be retiring about now.
