Manny pacquiao hires outside firm to handle boxing contracts...

[Lorily]

To be honest, I think this has more to do with Koncz then it does about Arum. Aren't most of these things that this company would be doing the things that Koncz, as Pacquiaos advisor, should be doing? I have a real hard time believing that Manny does anything without Arum knowing about it.

I think it's a good move. Now Koncz can go back to doing what he does best, and that's making Manny's rice and fluffing his pillows. Side note: There's actually a segment in one of the last Fight Camp 360 episodes that shows Koncz making Manny his rice. Why would he need his "advisor" to make rice for him? Pacquiao has dozens of guys around him at all times who do nothing, yet his P.A. is cooking his rice for him? Oh yea, he probably makes Manny's rice better then anyone else could.

You guys need to remember that it was Koncz (and Arum) who pushed the idea of Pacquiao fighting Margarito and Mosely. There are dozens of articles of Koncz stating he wanted Pac to fight Marg/Mosely. So many that I believe Koncz was getting some kind of signing bonus if he convinced Manny to fight them (probably from TR). I'm just saying, dude's got an "agenda", and it's obviously not for the betterment of Manny.

Damn, you've been saying this for I don't know how long but you just keep repeating foolishness. Pacquiao gives Top Rank 27%, not the other way around FFS. THAT'S what Mayweather said. You seem to take everything Floyd says as gospel, perhaps you should atleast quote him correctly.



So, even though Ken Thompson said that NO NAMES WERE MENTIONED, you automatically assume it's "two Flips"? And even if it is, what's that got to do with anything? Seriously.



Ain't that the truth.

The two accountants listed in their site were flips....

Sounds like Pac finally finished mastering English, decided to read what he already signed and didn't like the terms lol!
But this sounds like Pac is getting fed up with Arum's garbage.

Seems to be the case...

The companies that were working on organizing a fight between Mr. Pacquiao and Mr. Mayweather were Mohlaleng (a South African Company) and VisionQwest Resource Group, Inc. out of Glendale, CA. Ms. Mandela works as a consultant to Mohlaleng but has no legal ability to make deals on behalf of Mohlaleng. At no time did Mr. Moody approach VisionQwest regarding his representation as to being a fight promoter. Mr. Moody did approach Mohlaleng and said he had contact with the Mayweather team and he offered to put them in touch with the Mayweathers. However, at no time was Mr. Moody involved in any negotiations between Mohlaleng, VisionQwest or any of the fighters and their contracted promoters. And at no time did he have a contract with either Mohlaleng or VisionQwest.

Thought so. I feel like there's a LOT more to the story than meets the eye. Odd that the same company that tried to stage the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is now handling his finances and contracts (thereby pushing Koncz aside even if he's not fired technically). But I think it goes deeper than just one fight. Seems that Pac signed VisionQwest to deal with his endorsement deals last December, even though it's been reported that Top Rank hired a woman to be the sole endorsement rep for him:

And now the same company is not only dealing with his endorsements, but they're now his financial and contractual machine? And this comes on the heels of reports that Koncz is being barred from returning to the Philippines until an 'investigation' is completed, with Arum saying this on the matter:

"If some of these people who are after Michael came in to replace him, it wouldn't work, because I'm not going to do anything -- particularly at my age -- to jeopardize myself by doing something that is not appropriate," said Arum. "I want to make sure that Manny gets every penny that he's entitled to, and the only way to make sure is to make sure that he has honest representation. Michael has demonstrated to me that he provides honest representation."

That comment came unprovoked and some of the reports that came a few days ago claimed that the Koncz 'investigation' and him being fired happened as a result of PPV money that never made it into Pac's bank account.

This is just a guess on my part from piecing together the puzzle but it seems like Pac had su****ions about Koncz (and possibly Arum since Koncz is his dog) and his handling of his finances. He hired VisionQwest to go over/audit his money/contracts/etc and they found disparities. It's clear money was either mismanaged or more likely, embezzled by Koncz. The interesting question, which Arum already tried to shield himself from, is whether or not Arum was involved in the money issue- with Koncz possibly funneling Manny's funds to Arum/Top Rank and taking his cut for his services...
