As for Pac fighting those GBP fighters - yes, that would be nice. You know what else would be nice? Floyd fighting non-GBP fighters - Pacquaio, Bradley, Provodnikov, Martinez, GGG. Or are you OK with a Khan fight and Chino re-match?
You know what? Floyd should leave Haymon for the sake of the sport of boxing so he can finally make that Pacquiao fight.Last edited by Carpe Diem; 05-20-2014, 05:35 PM.

Cotto didn't have do anything. Mayweather was going to fight him regardless. He was the third biggest draw and was shot to bits. To insinuate that Floyd fought Cotto simply because he left Arum is pretty ridiculous.

Not surprising in the least bit, the signs have always been there. Manny would be hard pressed to leave TopRank.
- Manny has never taken his longtime Filipino lawyer's advice (Gacal) on leaving Arum due to questionable contacts and business.
- Koncz whom is Manny's adviser, is a TopRank shill, inserted by Bob Arum himself in order to continue brain washing Manny.
- Manny owing millions in taxes from which Arum and his company handle on his behalf.
- Top Rank loaning money to Manny
- Pacquiao hiring VisionQwest to audit TopRank contracts, Taxes, financial records only to fire them shortly after. The company still manages to uncover missing funds along with shady contracts.
...and the list goes on.
Lets be real, the odds have been stacked against Manny ever being able to detach himself from TopRank, and its been that way for a long time. The poor uneducated bastard signed a deal with the devil and Arum has had his soul since.
RIP Mayweather vs Pacquiao; hello TopRank re-runs for another 3 years.Last edited by p4p-champ; 05-20-2014, 06:11 PM.

Hopefully Oscar and Arum can make some good fights for him (or us).

Please, Miguel was shot to bits and was the third biggest draw at the time. To insinuate that Cotto leaving Arum was the main reason Floyd fought him is asinine. Maybe after Pacquiao gets brutally stopped two more times Floyd would actually publicly state his willingness to fight him.
you think its a game of who is scared...
I think its about the dollar.
If pacman was free and negotiating we would have known atleast he would have tried. he never tried. but lets stop about FMJ, pacman never wanted him IMO. The rest of the showtime roster would have been good enough for me, if pacman would have faced them. im dissappointed.
In the end i dont see much differences between two camps, both are cherry pickers and both prefer business above sport when it comes down to it.

Cotto said he was surprised to read that Arum said he offered him $13 million.
"Bob said he offered us $13 million, but he never came to us with that offer," Cotto said. "He always offered us the same guarantee he offered us in 2009, with the same benefits, and that's not fair. He offered the exact same amount of money. Of course it's a business, but all we want is fair business. You can say to Bob to tell me he made that offer to me to my face, and you will see his reaction.
"Miguel Cotto always agrees to fight the best. I've never said no to anybody, but you need to treat me fairly in business."
Even if the money could have been worked out, Cotto said the weight was a major issue.
For the 2009 bout he had agreed to go down to 145 pounds, two less than the welterweight limit, and said it took its toll. If he had taken the rematch at 150, it would mean dropping 4 pounds below the junior middleweight limit, which is where Cotto has fought his four bouts since his loss to Pacquiao.
"If he wants a big name and wants to fight the best, no catchweight," Cotto said of Pacquiao. "Making catchweights is easy for them. They make the other guy have trouble making weight and they take advantage of that. I wasn't going to do that again. I am 154 pounds. I am not going to fight at a catchweight and make myself weak."

To think that notion if going to change simply because Pacquiao gives in to one of his long list of demands is ludicrous. We haven't even gotten to the sensitive area of glove choice yet and you think Floyd is going to green light Pacquiao even if he wasn't with Arum?
