      He should only leave if he is not happy with Arum as his promoter. He should not leave to get a Mayweather fight because Mayweather won't fight him no matter who promotes him.

        Didn't he essentially get "traded" along with cash considerations for Gamboa to be released from his contract?

          Of course! This isn't even a debatable. He's paid his dues with Arum/TR ten fold.

            Manny got as far as he could go with TR. Now the in house options are not as desireble by the public and he is heavily restricted on the competition he can face because of TR.

            It has ran its course and is time for him to move on, he don't need TR anymore.

                NO!!! If Floyd wasn't such a b!T(H diva this wouldn't even be brought up. No other fighter would request that on top of the other million excuses. They would simply man up & fight, figure some way to make it, try to find a way with the promoters ect anything, but come up with reasons why not to make it. Even if he does Floyd will probably come up with "oh I'll fight, but only if PAC fights me orthodox stance, wears the trunks I want him to wear, leave Roach & get a hair cut that I pick" or some dumb ***** like that.

                  I think Manny should do what he wants to do, and not be bullied into a decision becuase of Floyd's ego.

                    That's my point as well. It's not only about Floyd. It's about all the possible match ups as listed above. My God, those are some awesome fights.

                    Tell me you wouldn't buy a Manny vs Danny/Thurman/Matthysse/Maidana/Porter PPV.

                      Thurman and Matthysse are barely known low reward/high risk fighters. The likelihood of Pacquiao or even Mayweather fighting either of them would be small regardless of promotional issues. You see Mayweather fighting freaken Khan for a reason. For 2014, I'm perfectly fine with a Ruslan fight. I'm not crazy about a Bradley rematch, but after the JMM win, a lot of people seem to want to see it.

                      Pacquiao vs Garcia will be cool, but we'll see how much the landscape changes in 2015 though. I'm sure Arum will snatch a few new fighters by then.
