    Remember 2 years ago when people said Pac needed to fight a slick black fighter like Bradley? I don't think fans know what they really want.

    If they never fight and they retire, at least Manny kept fighting and tried to put on good shows. Appreciate him while he still fights.

      No wonder he's not pleased with Floyd's announcement. It's not hard to read between the lines, Arum has done this for Manny's past three fights and this time he's only upset because Floyd has beaten him at his own tactic.

        Boxing on a whole would benefit from the demise of Bob Arum

        Manny needs to take control of his future and start telling Arum what he wants and when. This BS with Arum, telling Manny who, when, where and why he's fighting should have ended years ago. The STAR calls the shots not the manager\promoter and if Kontz, or anyone else mooching off Manny were worth even a grain of salt .... they would have told Manny this years ago.

        Manny needs to step up and tell Arum "Make the fight with Floyd happen" or I'll sue you for mismanagement of my money and for being deliberately detrimental to my career.

        F0CK ALL THIS OTHER NOISE

          How in the world are Pac lovers still defending Manny, Arum, and the entire Pac Team??? Yes, Bradley is a good fight, his best opponent since Marquez in 08' or Morales in 05'. But, Floyd comes out and says they have a venue on hold (Schaefer confirmed this) and they intend to make a fight with Pacquiao......All Arum says is "Floyd is making a sick joke, trying to steal Pac's spotlight right now", "We can't wait for Floyd, Bradley could be next", even though EVERYONE with their head on straight knew that Bradley has been lined up for months already. Same s**t happened with Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez.

          Margarito said he talked to Arum in February 2010 and that he was promised a fight with Pac for November 2010, when they were supposedly "waiting for Floyd". Mosley said he agreed to the Pac fight in way back in October 2010, before Pac even fought Margarito. Marquez said he agreed to a Pac fight back in April 2011, before the Mosley fight. We even had a Top Rank associate come out when they signed Bradley and said that he was next for Pacquiao. It's unreal that people still think Mayweather is holding up the fight.

          The only time they had negotiations, Floyd signed to fight and Manny didn't. Floyd says he's coming back on May 5, 2012 (confirmed by Golden Boy) and that he wants Pacquiao. But, it seems like the Pac team os content with the whole "Mayweather is afraid" thing, instead of actually trying to make a fight. They've fooled the public for so long,w hy try and stop now??? If Marquez were to beat Pacquiao, which ain't going to happen, I guarantee Arum would make the fight with Floyd.

          It's one of two things.....either Pac truly doesn't want the random testing without a cutoff, or he's getting terrible advice from Arum....I say it's the Arum one.

          Arum says there are no issues with testing, yet Ariza and Koncz say there are. Floyd says he wants the Pac fight next May, Arum says it's all bulls**t. If Pac has really agreed to the testing protocol, make the fight Bob.

            Mind games from both sides, you know Floyds going to ask for the higher share and Bob is shooting Bradley out there to use as a bargaining chip

                This vid is misleading now since it was in May... before we knew Mayweather was hopping back in... but whatever.

                  Mayweather doesn't call the shots against the P4P king and true Cash King.

                  If Pacquiao wants Bradley next than **** floyd. He had his chance.
