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

[McFearless]

Ok so if arum "persuaded" pac then it wasnt only pac now was it?
And if its not monwy tthen what is it genius??

[shawn12]

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.

Remember arum saying he going to announce the fighter on mAnny birthday ?
Well he was 4day late and was rumor PAC pick berto , and arum likely told team to take care of it ,so that roach and altize and other telling manny that you will make more money fighting mosley .so....kinD of hard fighting the tide right?

He would have been offered more money for Mosley. But yes, poor fight and Pacquiao will get a lot of criticism, and rightly so.

[NesNY]

yes....arum gave him options.


Berto = short money.
JMM = short money.
Mosley = 15m guaranteed plus PPV cut.

Pacquiao's a moron for choosing Mosley, huh? Mosley LEFT GBP to negotiate with Bobby. JMM = GBP, fight wouldn't happen. Berto is with Lou Dibella = fight wouldn't happen.

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.

nobody's denying that mosley is a cherry picked opponent..

but to even compare him to floyd's level of ducking is hilarious.

we wouldn't even have pac-mosley if floyd found the balls to fight pac.

[Ryannn]

shot mosley=best win at ww by floyd.

fact.

[MaD RoBoT]

yep, Pac chose Mosley

they were friends, weren't they?

[DR.ORGYY]

mosley is the bigger draw and toughest challenge................

[FeFist]

shot mosley=best win at ww by floyd.

fact.

What's Pacquiao's best win at Welterweight, Cotto? People can cry about Mosley being shot as much as they like the fact of the matter is he was the man to beat at Welterweight when Pacquiao chose to fight Clottey and Cotto. Mosley was the man to fight at Welterweight when Mayweather fought him.
