So he knows his contract is up at the end of the year. He realizes a fight will be possible in 2015.. So now if he resigns with Top Rank and the fight doesn't get made will that make him a ducker?

exactly!! so negotiation never happen with them until they were signed onto top rank first. with manny and floyd, they were both in negotiation even agreed upon the demands and ost was the ONLY issue. after manny agree to that then floyd comes out with u need to leave arum first. so please tell me how is this the same as what jmm, shane and tim had to do??? my whole point when i was debating with dunn is that the situation is NOT the same then u quoted me with ur smart ass reply only to go nowhere with it.

JMM fought manny twice before. so they had previous negotiations. why did JMM have to sign with TR for the last 2 fights when he didn't the 1st 2 fights?

honestly to me if pac continue to stay busy all thru out 2014 with 2-3 fights total and then resign with bob i will say he's a dumbass.

Although floyd is older wit pacs style of fighting age will affect pac a lot more. Defensive technical fighters can fight well into age 40 whereas pressure fighters are never the same by 35 - see JCC, morales, trinidad compared to Bhop, sweat pea

So if you have been a major a side you don't have to sign with another promotional company but if you haven't its ok. I don't agree but I understand the point.

How would that make him a ducker. Floyd changes his mind on the reasons they can't fight evry month. So if pac is happy wit arum (another issue) he should not resign so that floyd will MAYBE fight him?

**** Pacquiao vs Mayweather. TIME TO MOVE ON people. Both are out of prime.

Oscar de ka hoya was huge and he fought pac when pac wasn't even as big as he became. Hatton was a draw so pac fought him. Jmm really has never been a draw and as such brings very little money to the table. We know pac would bring a lot to the table. Maybe not 3mil ppvanymore likw it wudve bin in 10-11 but will still break alltime ppv revenue record- that's the difference
