Why will Manny not leave Arum?> History proves it is the best move

Manny is in some trouble now with his taxes but I mean he's done pretty well for himself. Also I don't think he has the business savvy mind like floyd/oscar does so from a boxing standpoint he just thinks to fight whoever they front up front . Bob arum really helped put manny into the position he is now, so I wold assume there's a feeling of loyalty there as wellComment

Tell Floyd to leave Haymon.1. Al Haymon – The most powerful guy in boxing is also its most mysterious. You'll rarely, if ever, see him in front of a television camera and you'll never catch him speaking to a reporter. He's not a promoter. He's not a manager. But when Haymon says jump, plenty of people in boxing listen.
He's referred to as an adviser, which is a smart way to avoid having to be licensed by an athletic commission and to skirt the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. It's illegal in the U.S. to serve as a promoter and a manager, though Haymon does both.
But what he does is, he'll hire a promoter to, essentially, buy his or her license for an event. So, while, say, Gary Shaw Productions may be the promoter of record for an event, he's doing so at the direction of Haymon. It's Shaw who has to follow the regulations required of a promoter by the state athletic commissions, not Haymon, but it's Haymon making the calls.
He also directs the careers of many fighters, serving as a de facto manager. But while managers are required to be licensed by the states, advisers are not.
He's involved with a slew of the sport's biggest stars, including the biggest, Floyd Mayweather Jr. When Haymon wants one of his fighters on television, he gets it. His fighters compete when he says, where he says, on the network he wants and generally for what he asks purse-wise.
There's no one more powerful than that.Comment

he's been under contract much of the time. i have heard from several sources that manny is a "free agent" in 2014.
it's not arum's fault that manny is broke. he's manny a lot of money in purses.
if you think that manny is smart with his money you're mistaken. it takes terrible decision making for several years to blow that much money.Comment
