    You are what we used to call "a tiny, limp, dangling object".... You just don't know what you're talking about. Don't quit before you get to high school..

    Pacquiao could not have "went through" with anything. When Oscar met him at the airport, dragged him AGAINST HIS WILL to a restaurant after ManntP's exhausting 16 hour flight and wouldn't take NO for an answer, he was playing the old Don King crap, the way he stole Hassim Rahman from Cedric Kushner. LOOK IT UP. Poor guy was too polite to tell him to buzz off.

    He pushed and shoved MannyP into signing an illegal contract, when the poor guy was falling asleep at the table. His friend and lawyer Gacal said it was O.K. because it wouldn't be legal and MannyP just wanted to get away to bed. He already had a valid contract with Top Rank in which was a clause forbidding him to even discuss a contract with another promoter.

    The resulting litigation agreement gave Golden Balls a very tiny percentage of any Pacquiao purse when Pacquiao would be fighting a Golden Balls fighter. That was the deal, I read about, and I'm pretty sure it was the first thing to be cancelled when Oscar retreated to a sanitarium and begged Arum's pardon. They gave top Rank "an undisclosed amount" in compensation. Likely multi-millions.

          If Manny tries that, Arum will roast his chestnuts on an open fire while singing Christmas carols.

                Unlikely 95% of those calling him duck only watch boxing for Pacquiao, they were silent until Manny beat up the Rios heavybag, they'll disappear again when he loses.

                  Let's assume this ****** **** you wrote was true. If Showtime wants Pac. And Floyd is doing everything in his power to block the fight. What sense does it make for the Showtime president to basically come out, and support Floyd in his effors to duck Pac. Especially since they're about to lose their ass on yet another Floyd PPV.

                    Don't know what you are talking about, Floyd is the one ducking Pac, not Showtime, they want to make money and Pac brings in the most money. Dude said Khan is not guaranteed the fight, well no kidding, Floyd chooses to fight who he wants to fight and if he doesn't choose Pac, that's on Floyd and his team. It does make zero sense for Showtime to help Floyd duck Pac but Floyd is his own boss right? He is gonna do what he thinks is best for him and if fighting some loser like Khan is what he thinks is best, then that's on Floyd's wanna-be the greatest azz, not Showtime.

                    Still doesn't change the fact that anyone with a brain knows that Khan stands no chance in hell and that one may as well toss $70.00 bucks in a trashcan.
                    So you still didn't answer my question. Showtime is in the business of making money. They're gonna lose their ass in May, again, unless Floyd fights Pac. So why in the name of common sense would the Showtime president come out in support of a duck move on Floyd's part. Which in turn is gonna cost Showtime money? Answer ****in' question. All you keep saying is "Floyd ducking Manny." "Floyd ducking Mnny." "Floyd ducking Manny." But ain't making no common sense. If this is an obvious duck. Why the **** would Showtime support a move that's gonna cost their company millions? Its ******. More ****** actually than you and the rest of the haters screaming duck when none of what we have presented in front of us validates. You're just a ****** ass fanboy. Plain and simple.
