    Manny has courage, for sure. But, to bash Floyd's courage is bull. Remember man that it was Manny, NOT FLOYD, that straight up walked away from negotiations refusing testing in Early 2010. Everything was agreed upon and they walked away, announced Clottey a day or two later. That doesn't seem strange to you???

    Also, it was Manny, NOT FLOYD, that didn't even agree to random testing until Late 2011, almost 2 years later, and he's reportedly ready and set to test.

    Also, it's Manny, NOT FLOYD, that is traight up refusing to fight on May 5th. Manny has ABSOLUTELY NO LEGIT REASON TO REFUSE MAY 5TH, NONE AT ALL. Give me one good reason that they are refusing to fight on May 5th, the date they know Floyd is coming back, give me one.........

    Pacquiao is beign exposed as the one avoiding the fight, whether it's him or Arum or Koncz, whatever......everyone is coming down on Manny and rightfully so. His official website even posted something that said he would agree to May 5th and than it was taken down a night later, I mean it's a joke at this point. Everybody and their brother knows that Manny can't refuse May 5th and still come out looking like he wants the fight. Just step up and fight on May 5th, don't claim ecomic reasons as why it can't be done. Everything was agreed upon for them to fight in Spring 2010, i didn't hear any bulls**t about some random make-shift stadium that would seat 40,000+ back then, nope. At first, we heard Manny can't fight in May at all because of a cut, but then when Floyd was suppose to go to jail in January, Marquez was in play for Cinco De Mayo. Than, when it was reported that Floyd isn't going to jail until June, the cut came back into play, as well as the stadium BS. Team Pacquiao is looking really ****ty right now, no matter what you say man.

    THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR MANNY NOT TO ACCEPT MAY 5TH, NONE, AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.
    bro, floyd's history has me beliveing he has courage issues for a prizefighter, thats just my personal feeling about the guy...do i think he is an excellent fighter?...no doubt about it, but it is what it is until proven otherwise...

        The media is gonna tear them apart when the announce peterson or cotto. Theyre cake walk fights forr pacquiao its blatantly obvious he is scared of floyd. If 39 year old lightweight marquez takes away all your advantages with timing and counter punching 35 year old welter weight floyd with speed and reach is gonna tear pac a new *******.

            Because they are scared that any negative pieces on arum will mean

            1. He doesnt give them interviewsin the future, or limited access to toprank staff etc.

            2. They lose the favours, benefits or "gifts" that arum and toprank give them for favourable stories or exposure.

            Just like promoters pay judges or offer inducements and favours like hotel and travel upgrades, dont tell me they dont do the same with certain media people.

            The shills are easy to identify.

              Jim Lamps and Larry well everybody at HBO pretty much knows what the old fart was doing that's why that Ross guy got fired from HBO because he didn't want to make that b.s fight Mosley vs Pac on HBO. So because he was on to Bob Arum so Bob made a deal with Showtime then want to HBO for Marquez vs Pac and f**ked Showtime that boss at showtime got the new job at HBO and the guy that took over at Showtime used to work for GBP so sooner or later people will not let Scum bag Arum ruin Boxing any longer but it's up to us boxing freaks not to buy his bull s**t fights anymore.

Smh anyways im completely stopping watching any toprank fights besides gamboa or rios. Lol
                You're talking nonsense. Arum depends on the media to get his comments (always badly distorted) out to the public, like all other promoters. Have you never heard that publicity, any kind, even bad publicity, is better than no publicity at all.

                It's astonishing what conspiracies the crazies think up. They all need to be in mental homes. I suppose most of you are on welfare, can't imagine any crazies holding down a normal job, like a genuine human being.

                    arum has closed his promotions off to journalists he doesnt like. He bad mouthed hbo because they wouldnt support ****ty ass pac v mosley. Went showtime and conveniently never released the ppv buy numbers. You know a lil advice you can be a manny fan and still criticize bob arum and toprank. Dont be a ****** by choice.

                      Bob Arum belongs to the same group as the people who control the majority of the media. Won't go in completely, but the educated know what it is. lol @ anyone who believed Floyd was ever 'scared."
