[MDPopescu]

who drank all ur coffee this morning? i said on my post above that manny taking this easy fight will give him a good return so its no wonder why he resigned with TR. so are u saying floyd took the rematch because he beat chino already so this time it will be even easier with the same pay day?

Not interested in Floyd and Manny anymore -- as long as they don't fight each other. (But there's a slight difference: at least Manny still wants this fight.)

If this does happen (I sure hope it doesn't!) we might see the first Pacquiao KO in years.

Some of you need to understand the business side of boxing from an athletes perspective.

You're saying PAC should have chosen to be a free agent.
You think it's that easy?

PAC chose to resign because he was getting guaranteed money (per fight deals)... for 6 fights. Key word... GUARANTEED.

As a free agent, nothing is guaranteed after the fight. On top of that, PAC is a politician and doing stuff on the side. So he is busy outside of boxing. I don't personally agree with all of PAC's extra activities,.. but unfortunately, that's his choice.

With Arum, he made a lot of money. So he's happy with that arrangement and ok with Arum taking care of the business side of things.

Why do NBA players seek long term contracts... seek the extra year for guaranteed salary? It's called security.

Common sense.

i dont know about a KO, but maybe a tko is possible. algieri will be on the go the whole time for pac to catch him cleanly for a KO. i see pac throwing combinations and the ref stopping it if anything. if not then it goes all 12 rds.

i've been saying the exact samething but people aside from actaul pac fans is not gonna see it the same way. if pac becomes a free agent that means manny will have to hired a team to run things for him. i dont think manny has any time or knownledge to do this and become successful with it.

staying with arum and TR, all pac needs to do is train and show up on fight night to collect his check. pac has other interest outside of boxing for him to fully commit to this. after boxing im pretty sure pac will go into the politics/goverment type field so thats why i dont think manny is too concern about a future with boxing after he retired.

I dont care if PAC algieri costs $199.95, it's a thousand times better than Garcia Salka

Give me a unification match between Garcia and Algieri..

Garcia VS Ron Salsa is a soggy, runny, boo boo sandwich. Pac VS Algeri is a nicely toasted boo boo sandwich with a sprig of mint for 70 dollars.

Now, I don't often eat boo boo sandwiches, but when I do... I eat the free one.

He should've wanted it when the fight was hot when everyone wanted to see it, instead of waiting until they peeled him off the canvas, while the luster of the Mayweather fight remained plastered there.

Do not teach the "history" of this one... I know it.
But, at this stage, Manny still want the fight.
And, to date, none of them is undertaking a random test program -- as I'm aware...

At this stage, the fight can't happen. All that lip service doesn't change the fact that Manny is tied to a network that financed his new promotional deal and Floyd is tied to the other.

Do you have to explain me everything over and over again?
I said I'm not interested in these two guys anymore, as long as don't fight each-other... No matter what their reasons are. I want to watch big fights -- and not to agree on whatever reasons because these big fights are not made...
