HBO and Top Rank won't let Pac go that easily

[kurt0411]

I agree but it ultimately all depends on pac, or does it?

[DARKSEID]

That's just more power to GBP and Showtime.
TR loses it's best PPV star as well as HBO to their rivals.
Pac might sit down and talk with Mayweather....but no way HBO or TR let Pac just walk away. They will do everything in their power to keep him with them.
Top Rank has a decent young crop... but they're being built up right now.
HBO doesn't have a fighter that could put up huge numbers unless it's very good matchmaking.
Honestly... I see HBO offering Pac a lesser, but lucrative HBO deal like Showtime did with Floyd.
Showtime still behind, but they're catching up to HBO. Canelo being moved up to the PPV stage, early or not, and Floyd has a contract with HBO.

HBO triples Showtime's subscribers, but then again Golden Boy and Al Haymon did just cash out on the highest grossing fight of all time, maybe they could offer pacquiao something sweet.

They can't afford to, damaged goods or not. So if Pac can manage to stay upright for his next several fights he might be able to negotiate for a little bit better money, but if his PPVs continue to do low numbers he might have a problem. What does HBO want with a fading attraction?

As per his lawyer/advisor; Manny should become a freelance fighter. However, GoldenBoy will be there with a fat cheque in order to entice Manny. As will his current slave driver.

Pacquiao should have about 10 lawyers present before signing a new contract.

Did HBO take a loss on the Pacquiao Rios fight?

[boliodogs]

Pacman's new nickname should be "YES MASTER"

He is basically an obedient slave.

That's a nice picture you have of Pacquiao smashing Rios' face in with a jab. What happened to your prediction that Rios would knock out Pacquiao with a left jab and you are never wrong about things like this? "Yes Master", obedient slave. That's a little harsh.

HBO did not loss. The fight was already been paid in full by the venetian macau

I've read a report that the Pac fight was requested by the venetian macau owner to bring in High Rollers to Macau and also introduce big time boxing to china.

HBO was into a win-win situation in the last Pac Fight.

Also, Garcia will be destroyed by Pac if they force the fight. It will ruin his career, I dunno why people give a slight ****ing chance to mickey winning it. There is only one JMM who took 3 fights to figure out Pac.

I've been seeing that about the Venetian everywhere....where'd you guys see it?

I would imagine. You go from 800,000 - 900,000 PPVs to less than 475,000 and don't think someone in a pressed suit isn't happy.

Pacquiao fired VisionQwest after they revealed to Pacquiao that he was getting short changed at the request of the same guy that was robbing him. He's not going anywhere and fight will never happen. Just deal with it
