Pacquiao: I won't leave Arum for Mayweather fight

[megadeth]

A ton of crap happened between then and now. Both sides have lobbed grenades at each other, engaged in a PR war, videos, lawsuits, changed networks, used each other to promote their fights. Just a ton of bad blood. The atmosphere is much different now than then.

The answer is obvious and I'm sure you know it too but it's fun watching the fanboys worm their way out of responding.

The response was here...are you Pacs nutz covering your eyes or are they Arums?

If you think this ok. thats a fair opinion. I was asking you if you agree that floyd should beat manny as a way to get revenge for the bad feelings, past lawsuits etc., should the same apply to Manny regarding floyd in 09?

Instead of suing him and refusing the fight on principle, shouldn't he have taken the fight and beat his ass also?

i agree, manny should have done that but he was looking to call the shot since he felt he had more power at the time, so bending down to floyd's demand only to seek revenge wont be as sweet as compare to floyd. if floyd fight manny now floyd has the upper hand in all catagories. money split, ppv split, etc.

Exactly. If Arum is the problem now why wasn't he the problem before? Are Floyd fans blind?

Is everything the same in 2009 as it is in 2013? In 2009, al haymon fighters and GBP fighters fought on HBO. In 2013, HBO stopped working with both.

Just sayin.

a mega fight won't happen 'cause one fighter doesn't like the other fighter's promoter! it's a one on one fight inside a ring... what does a fucking promoter do inside the ring?

only fucking scared coward will demand such stipulation.

Where were these comments when Pac/Arum were forcing Mosley, JMM and Bradley to sign with Top Rank to get the fight??

I can't believe people still take these "offers" seriously. Publicity stunts is all they ever were. Mayweather put most of his "offers" on fkin Twatter

I'm not saying Arum/Top Rank are blameless because they certainly did their fair share too.

Both sides were happy to milk their fighters in lesser fights and rob the fans.

It's just amazing how black and white it is to some morons on here. A Floyd fan crying about "Smear Campaigns" - I can't even get my head around it.

When Pacquaio agreed to the testing, suddenly there was a new roadblock and then another one and then another one.

If Arum was always the problem, why was he involved in 09 and 2012?

When? As in three years later? Is that what you mean? You don't find that funny?

OK, but Saying floyd doing it would be sweeter than manny doing it, Thats kind of splitting hairs my man. I think floyd was the aside then. Obviously he is a much bigger a side now.

As for Manny leaving arum, he shouldn't have to. But Bob making tim, shane, and JMM sign with TR to fight Manny shouldn't have happened either.

IMO it's hypocritical to criticize floyd for this if you didn't criticize when Bob/Manny did same.

All floydiot units are on alert I see!

I remember they'd agreed to it before the Margarito fight happened. So not 3 years.

You don't find it funny that Arum is a problem in 2013 but he wasn't for the previous 5 years of negotiations? I notice you ducked that part of the post.

[downklown]

who from GBP is fighting other fighter from TR or other promotion company??

That was the whole point of my post. LOL. Arum is the sole reason these companies don't do business with each other.
Example: Cotto wanted Floyd so he left TR and got it. Simple & Easy.
