You handled it beautifully. The "disinterested" facade fell off pretty quickly when you answered the first mealy-mouthed attack, disguised as general information.He's not so subtle when it's gone into properly.
The result of the switch to overseas seems to be that it's good for Pacquiao, (never mind the "dumb" comment that Pacquiao will lose by it-he's just trying to show he's "concerned" about MannyP's welfare) and perhaps not so good for the promoter. But, where top fighters are concerned, who have already made their reputations, and are money draws, the boxer dictates whom he'll fight and where. The promoter presents the most likely top money earning fights and arenas, but the boxers along with their advisers, make the final decisions.
Of course this doesn't go well with the crazies who frantically shriek that Pacquiao is a slave and Arum is a slavedriver...... So they ignore the facts.
