Pacquiao chose Shane Mosley did he not, Arum presented him with other options

[cupocity303]

Pacquiao always says that whoever his promoter tells him to fight, he fights.

But didn't Arum say that he had contracts for Berto, JMM and Mosley and was gonna fly out to the Phillipines for Pacquiao to look over the details and finalize a deal with one of them.

So in reality, no matter what persona Pac tries to portray in public, he chose Shane Mosley. You can't blame Arum for this.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It was always going to be Mosley

[cupocity303]

So Pacquiao chooses his opponents, not his promoter.

Thus, Pacquiao is doing exactly what Floyd does, call his own shots and duck who he wants to duck.

He just has a better PR team.

Yes. It's Pacquiao's decision to fight Mosley. Arum presented
three choices and presented them in a way that would make Pac
salivate with the Mosley option. Any more questions?

To be honest I just think Bob Arum should have the nickname "money" instead of Floyd, it's all he cares about.

[McFearless]

It always comes down to money. And mosley will bring in most money

Dmyou guys always criicize arum for being dishonest but why do you choose to believe him aboit him getting offers/?

[Southpawology]

if you think pac chose mosley soley by himself you are a fool

there is no doubt in my mind that arum persuaded and coerced pac like a little kid into choosing mosley

Pacquiao was paid the most to fight Mosley so what's your point.

[loui_ludwig]

Yes Pac choose to fight Mosley. Just like Floyd choose to avoide Margarito, Williams, and Cotto.

Get over it.

arum probably stacked the deck in mosley's favor.
