This is the truth. PAC is not exactly business savvy. And doesn't want to deal with anything else.

He's content with his guaranteed purses, and his relationship with Top Rank.

People/athletes like familiarity, like what is known to them. Some posters here like Megadeth think they absolutely know what it's in a boxer's best interest.

Ha...absurd.

Thanks for telling us why you did it Pac!

Yeah and some poster here think they absolutely know what is in a boxers mind!

Ha ha ha...even more absurd!

[Evol]

Lets see...if Pac has the option to make more money, make better fights and be his own man and instead of even EXPLORING those options, he simply signs TR and we continue to get in house fights, then, who's at fault? Floyd?? You are so silly with ur argument...There are 2 fighters at the top.....Floyd and Pac....to compare other fighters is just nonsense cuz none of them make anywhere near the money, have as much pull or clout that those two do. So why are u even bringing up all fighters. We are talking about the elite 2 money makers...Good thing you don't DEFEND PAC, huh? Hate to see if u did.

I didn't say make ME happy....PAC said he is about pleasing the fans did he not? Funny you would be absolutely CRUCIFYING Floyd if this were him. With Pac, you defend him til the end. If you were a real fan of his, you would want him to get away from a snake like Arum who everyone knows is robbing him blind instead of defending it.

I didn't even bring up Floyd as who to blame, this is why I know u're a fan boy lol! Is PAC and floyd the only 2 boxers left? This is why I said how come ur not crying about other fighters not venturing out and being a free agent? Is manny the only boxer left that is not a free agent and he's keeping us from all these big fights? Lol. PAC says he fights for the fans so he should venture out to make "u" happy? lol. Fighting for the fans means if U pay I'll put on a good show to get ur money's worth. I guess fighting for the fans means he should do whatever u say lol!!!

[Evol]

I don't, do you? But that doesn't stop you from defending it, even though you and I know that the smart thing to do would've been to at least explore if he could've gotten a better deal. Why are we even arguing that point?? You have the most ******ed argument here. You are condemning me for doing the very same thing that you are doing. The only difference is that I WANTED Pac to find the best deal, to make the most money and to be in charge of his own career and u are defending the fact that he didn't even explore that option. You don't need to ASSUME anything when u explore the option and you are defending the fact that he didn't do that. Pathetic....

Bottom line is my argument makes sense while yours doesn't...so maybe YOU should rethink.

How am I defending it again? Did I say PAC got such a good deal man he's gonna be making bank? Lol. Now u on the other hand has no idea what his deal is or how much he's gonna make yet u know its a bad deal? lmao!

People like familiarity.
People like security.
People like people/companies who have treated them well and made them money.
People like money.
People like guaranteed money (6 fights).
People outsource jobs and tasks for things they can't handle or have no knowledge in.
People outsource jobs and tasks when they are busy and preoccupied with other personal/business life matters.
People like companies who have branched out internationally to places like Macau where there is less of a tax burden. (Expect PAC to fight in Macau once a year from now on)

I think you're exaggerating how bad of an opponent Algieri is.

He beat the highly touted Provodnikov and is tall and rangy, this could very well go all wrong for team Pac.

Well, I'm not really discussing Algieri in that post...and I don't think he's a bad fighter. He has a chance, because Pac doesn't look his best against boxer/movers, so I agree with u on that point. My whole point is that we/he would have a lot better options if he had been a free agent or it the chance them if he at the very least should have explored the option rather than just signing with TR. I don't think I am saying something off the wall....it is almost unheard of in business, for someone at Pac's level NOT to do so.

I'm sorry but as a Pac fan, even I can't back this one up. It's pretty damn horrible. I think Pac's on the verge of walking away but fighting an opponent this dull is asking for a serious hit on his stake. Nobody is going to buy this fight and he already stated he likes Algieri because he's a college kid? Yeah, I'm sure he's going to attempt to KO a college kid. Get real.
Pac's greatness is LOOOOOOOOOONG behind him. Whatever is left is for his own financial reasons but even this doesn't make financial sense.

$20+ mil, irregardless of ppv sales, to fight this guy is great financial sense.

Like I said, you are the last one to be talking about "fanboy". I would NEVER defend Floyd the way you are defending Pac...this is just common sense. Not to mention that again, IF this were Floyd, you would be singing a TOTALLY different tune. Last I checked, I previously mentioned Thurman, Khan & Porter as well. Did u miss those names fanboy? Pac shouldn't venture out to make me happy, he shoud venture out to make the FANS HAPPY ....you know the ones he said he fights for?? He should do it to make the biggest fights! He should do it cuz he can make the most money that way. Really? That's what fighting for the fans means? Well if that's the case he should just go fight all bums right? With your logic, he could just put on a show and knock everyone ranked 22nd or 52nd at WW, doesn't matter right? Do you actually read what you type? You sir are the TRUE definition of a fanboy!

[megadeth]

Actually u're looking foolish arguing about how bad of a decision one individual made as if u're him or something lol.

Yes u're foolish to even bring up a bank robber and compare it to manny buahahahaha!!

I look foolish, yet YOU were the one that said it!

Here's a hint:

If you are gonna debate someone, look at your opinion and think it over first. Does it make sense? Am I only saying this because I am an emotionally invested fanboy or am I making sense? Once u come to a LOGICAL conclusion, then and ONLY THEN should u post it!
