Has it ever cross your mind that Manny Pacquiao is Top Rank's ONE AND ONLY powe player when it comes to $ making?...maybe, just MAYBE..Bob Arum doesnt want to risk his cash cow losing to a fighter from another company?
If Pac losses to Floyd Top Rank is left with nothing. Juan Manuel Marquez is a semi retired 42 year old man, tim bradley just doesnt have any superstar appeal, mike alvare and brandon rios are bums basically, no one cares about jessica vergas etc...think about it...their only hope is to build Crawford into a superstar but that takes at least 5 years and its not a given...
just some food for thought...i do the dishes..HA!Comment

Had manny not been KO'ed MAYBE Arum would of done business with Al to stage fights such as Pacquiao/Matthysse or Pacquiao/Garcia...but since the KO did happen now we are at the point where Bob Arum simply cannot afford to have his cash cow take yet another L...and if that L does come Arum wants to make sure it's coming from a TR fighter....It does make sense, i aint saying that Manny doesnt want the Floyd fight, i am more than sure he does...its just that Arum his boss, as a businessman in thinking other things..Comment

where would you rate money if he retired undefeated with wins over PAC, khan, cotto?
Unified ww champ, 5 lineal titles, 50-0...25 title fights won...wins over 20+ champs and titlist
I think this is the route he will go
I'd say top ten all timeComment

Manny is only a threat if he can hurt elite opponents, especially over at 140...his power n activity dropped.
He won't be able to outbox him....watch the jmm fights, the first morales fight, even old Mosley..PAC struggles with lateral movement and being pushed back.he will get walked down and turned. That's how floyd fights southpaws. Floyd ain't algieri who has zero power, no great defense or counters. Floyd is the fav but PAC has a chance. I just don't think PAC will win.Comment

The gloves ain't special if both are wearing the same gloves.
I've been hit with Reyes, grants, everlasting you name it. MX and Reyes have hardly padding on the knuckles.
Cuts happen easier, broken knuckles, you name it.
Floyd wasn't the first or last A side to choose the gloves....won't be the last
Maidana didn't care where he landed so you try taking low blows, rabbit punches, etc with gloves with bad pad distribution.
If you've never sparred or boxed you'd never know.Comment
