    His fans don't see this though. All they care about is that Manny shouldn't appear to cater to Floyd.

    Even though Pac doesn't need a promoter at this point in his career. Even though he could keep more of his fight purses if he left Arum. Even though his finances have been badly mishandled and he's having to ask Bob for advances on his next fights.

    None of that matters, they prefer that he cuts off his nose to spite his face.

      Will Pacquiao even make more or the same if he went on his own or Goldenboy?

        If we're going by the report in this thread -- which is still yet to be verified -- Pacquiao signed a 2 year extension worth 75 million dollars.

        Cutting off his nose to spite his face. Lmao

          He could make almost that much with just one Mayweather fight. Why should he continue to break Arum off a piece of his earnings at this point in his career?

            Because he has 20 other things going on outside of boxing. Being under a promotional company adds value to his busy lifestyle.

              I agree on your second point. Arum is completely unnecessary at this point. Your first point though in that sentence -- who's to say that even if Manny had separated from Arum that the Floyd fight would happen?

                What we do know us that manny didn't want the fight after getting EVERYTHING he asked for, that we do know.

                Duckman

                Arum forced fighters to sign with him to fight manny. When cotto left arum he got the fight. Again, something we know.

                The better question is how do we know manny would have signed to fight Floyd had he left tr because everything shows he wouldn't have

                  There is never a guarantee of Floyd fighting Manny with Arum out of the equation. It will only be another round of excuses.

                  Move on, everyone.

                    Floyds been exposed. Hes fighting Khan for Christ sake. lmfao! Manny still got big paydays. Bradley and also JMM is still on the table and the biggest payday fight out there next to Mayweather and Pacquiao. *** him!

                    Floyd will always be in Mannys shadows. Always known as the man who would not fight Manny Pacquiao for all the money in Boxing.
                    He won't make any money unless he fights manny? Idk man pretty sure he's gonna make over 50 mill no matter who he fights. PAC won't make more than 25. You're right tho about manny being Floyd's biggest payday but at this point why do you still even wanna see it. It's not like they're primed anymore.
