Poll: Should Manny leave Top Rank?

[Erislandy lara]

Manny should leave top rank, fight floyd, cash out on some fights with gbp and then retire

[edgarg]

He should have been left awhile ago when he started to become a money machine. Though he still could have done a lot of business with Arum and TR still but he should not be bound to TR the way he is currently.

You don't seem to understand anything. He's bound to Top Rank by a contract...a c-o-n-t-r-a-c-t. I suppose you may know what that is....?? He has the freedom to renew them as each contract terminates. He has found that to be beneficial for him, his family, his career and his future. Which is why he renews.

Any other "binding" is purely in your imagination....unless you want to regard loyalty, and gratefulness, as "binding" elements.

money himself.

One thing is certain. Floyd will never fight Pacquiao
even if he leaves Arum. Pac sent Kocz to meet with
Mayweather immediately after his contract expired
two years ago. Did the fight happen? No.

What do you think I was talking about you moron? He BINDS himself to TR by keep signing contracts with them that binds him to fight for TR for multiple fights. If he was smart he would sign for 1 fight at a time instead of being cycled through loops. Signs a contract for TR for 4 fights. But he only fights once or twice a year which means he will be bound to them for 2 years or more. That sounds very smart doesn't it? Now hes in a rematch galore over at TR.

so you guys are saying stab the guy that took you from eating hot dogs to eating steak and lobster in the back ... Glad I don't associate with any of you.

Are all of you really all about that flashy greedy life

On one hand I understand where you're coming from, your relationships are most likely rooted in loyalty. You're probably a great friend to have but understand Bob Arum is not Manny's friend, Bob is his promoter. That frames their relationship going forward as a business one and not one based interpersonal dynamics rooted in mutual trust and respect. Bob's out to make a buck and Manny should be out to make a buck.

Self-interest should be deeper than loyalty when you're dealing with a career. If the business relationship is no longer mutual beneficial and Manny opts out, he isn't a traitor he's merely looking out for who he should be looking out for, himself.

[ShoulderRoll]

He should leave. Why waste the last years of his career in lame rematches and doing the Top Rank in-house fight circle jerk?

Plenty of fresh, attractive matchups for him over at Golden Boy.

That would also be a good way to get out of the tax debt he inexplicably finds himself in after years of being a huge money maker.

[jqSide]

Pacquiao should leave Arum not because of Mayweather, (well, that fight is full of controversies) but because of guys like Garcia, Maidiana, Matthysse, Thurman, etc.

[dan_cov]

Pointless. Floyd will only come up with more ridiculous demands as usual.

[SilverSun]

Just because Floyd said he won't do business with top rank. Take the test doe?
