In hindsight did you expect Mosley to be running away scared from a midget.

Manny was running scared when Shane KO'd Margarito and stalked him in his own gym.

thats the plain truth...until floyd finds a pair of balls, pac cant really do ****......

None of them fighters did anything impressive before they fought Pac. They were all coming off losses or bad performances.

There it is.

LAS VEGAS -- During the press conference following eight-division titlist, Manny Pacquiao's, unanimous decision over Shane Mosley on Saturday night in defense of his WBO welterweight belt at the MGM Grand, Top Rank Promotions CEO, Bob Arum, tried to put a positive spin on what was a fight largely of excitement.

Fighting Mosley was the promoter's decision, just like what Manny kept on telling the people...the fighter is just out there to do his job. It is a big risk to take to promise a fighter 20 million dollars if the promoter is not sure about the volume of tickets that the buying public would be willing to spend on. In Mosley, Arum saw a good number of followers and a huge number from Manny Pacquiao's group. That is the main reason how the match-up happened. Supply and demand...these are two main factors to consider in business.

Only a flunky would say something like this.

Manny has a say in his career..if he doesn't then he''s bigger SUCKER than even I thought.

Manny is the biggest name in boxing..he doesn't even NEED a promoter...much less Bob Arum.

He had the balls to agree to a 5050 split....10 million for every lb over 147...even 8oz gloves.

Pac didn't have the BALLS to sign...he RAN like a scalded dog to fight Clottey...

How can Pac fans STILL cosign Manny fights as being competitive when Bob Arum himself has said that "Nobody thought Mosley or Margarito had a chance"? It was all for entertainment purposes. Pac legacy is being padded with easy wins. that's not me being a hater because Arum said it himself....

"Manny is not dull. He is the aggressor. He is an entertaining fighter and I believe that most people that bought the fight tonight bought it not with the expectation that Shane Mosley was going to win," said Arum of Pacquiao, who was coming off of November's unanimous decision over Antonio Margarito.

"They bought the Antonio Margarito fight not because they thought that he was going to win, but because they wanted to be entertained by Manny Pacquiao," said Arum. "Manny is a great fighter. That's why people are buying his fights now. He has achieved greatness."

Pac fans are idiots. Don't mean to sound so harsh but seriously. Arum is telling you for himself that ain't noting competitive about Manny Pacquiao fights and Pac fans are still talking $H!t like Manny is beating top guys. Sheep @ss fan boys.

Manny definitely knows how to play the dumb role very well.

Mayweather is concerned about making money. He's made it. He likes having a 0. He won't risk it without getting a lot of money. I don't think he cares about his legacy -at least not today. Thirty years from now he might have a few regrets, but not now. He's had 4 fights in the last 5 years. Those were his BEST years and he didn't fight.

As good as he is - and he's great - his lack of activity hurts his legacy.

Pac is fighting more. He's fought over 10 fights (not that much but at least something). There's no reason for Paquiao to be scared. Scared of what? He's lost before and he's still a huge success. Ali lost. SRL lost. SRR lost. Willie Pep lost. Joe Louis lost. Jack Dempsey lost. And they're all great.

Manny will never fight Ortiz.

If he even took that fight, regardless as to the result, I would shut my mouth.

Ortiz' current position, - young, hungry, skilled, prime, and right on top of his game - does not fit the template of Manny's last 8 opponents.

Ortiz is not in the plan.

Ortiz was seen as green and lacking heart until the Berto fight who was considered a paper champion waiting to be dropped. Now after a win against a widely recognised paper champ, Ortiz is prime, come on dude?!?

I'm sure all boxers wish they could drop a paper champ and then get a shot at the P4P number 1!
