    you keep asking about things that have little to no relationship to what we are discussing while completely avoiding, ignoring and downplaying the thing that do.

    Your point is manny shouldn't leave TR because floyd will only give him $10 milk Yet both offers he's received have been well over $28 mil. You say the other fighters didn't make moe than $10 mil-well they never had at any other point in their careers. You discount that they made 25-50% more than they ever made fighting foyd.

    Like I said you seem to be grasping for logic even though all the facts show your concerns are not warranted.

    If you want to cosing manny's decision do so on its face. To use "well otherguys didn't make $10 mil" makes no sense.

    If you really believe that then you believe Bob/Manny's $50 mil re offer to floyd was fake since no fighter working with TR ever made that much.

    At some point dude, no matter how much you love manny, you have to be able to evaluate the decisions he makes without bringing floyd in to it. If manny wants to stay at TR, fine.

    history shows us since 2007 EVERY fighter, whether its the cash cow or a journeyman, make their biggest career payday from fighting floyd. for you to try and argue manny wouldn't, based on the above being true and the offers floyd gave manny both far exceeded his career best, is ridiculous.

      How is manny's sealed and floyd's isn't?

          If Manny had 25% of a functioning human brain he would have left Arum a long time ago but its clear he's nothing more than a mindless thrall that answers to the whims of his promoter. Maybe when Buboy gets hungry enough he'll talk some sense into Manny.

            If Manny really wanted to fight the P4P #1 and make some real money, he would have left arum by now. Look how well uncle bob's taken care of his money.. I think Manny actually knows hes been played by that greedy scumbag mf but he doesn't know how to leave.

              So you're making our point for us...He fights Rios Iit does 450, he fights Provo, it does 450...He fights Marquez, it does 1.2 million, he fights Floyd, 2.5 maybe?? Get it, the open matters..The fact that u say May weather is the draw when he did 1.5 million less the fight before Canelo is ridiculous. .is Mayweather the bigger draw? Of course, but the opponent matters.

                Smh dude when did I downplay Manny's significance? U gitta pay attention. What I said is Floyd is the draw, which he absolutely is. Here would be the a side of the promotion. No way to slice that. U think team PAC doesn't understand that? In fact the only ones who don't are PAC fans.

                    They are both fine. Pac fans just upset that floyd is on top and has always been even when they thought pac was. They want pac to be the man but he walked away from that opportunity multiple times.

                      Its fine that TR got Manny far into the sport as one of the top fighters but it has run its course. Manny doesn't need TR anymore because he has name recognition and needs very little promoting.

                      TR has gotten paid for representing Manny. Its time for Manny to do his own thing like other top fighters have done and make much more money and have much more control over his career. Regardless if he fights Floyd him leaving TR will be very profitable for him
