          LOL...what have they done. What is their drawing power. This is prize fighting for $$$.

          Maidana. Good fighter but he got Floyd after beating a career lightweight fighter in Broner. We also haven't even mentioned the roadblacks between Top Rank and Al Haymon.
          Floyd fans have been so used to biting on the "hyped" up fight that they don't realize that they were had!

          At least Granny could have been objective. A good fight at 140 is better than a not so good one at 147.

            Iwould love to see manny go back down to 140. His power would be more effective there. He could fight Garcia, Matthysse or Broner for example. Pac vs. matthysse would be a war.

                idiotic statement.

                3 of those 4 are naturally bigger than pac. jmm is about his size. algieri is 4-5 inches taller. rios is much bulkier.

                you can criticize pac for a lot of things. picking on smaller guys is not one of them. hell bradley fought at welter/junior middleweight as an amateur, hell he had pro fights at 147 when pac was still at 130.

                so pretty ****** comment you just made.

                  Marquez made him gun shy, and he's turning his head towards the easiest opportunities

                  it's not even about getting paid the most for him at this point. he just wants the easiest opponents

                    yeah because maidana is a career 147 guy, right flo mo?

                    there's a weird thing about $$$$ concerning weight classes in boxing.

                    for some weird reason you make less money below 147.

                    think of recent great 140 and below guys. aaron pryor, kostya never quite made the money of 147 greats.

                    pac and floyd didn't get the big bucks til 147. and oscar who got them there, started making the big bucks when he got to 147.

                    duran, pernell biggest was after they got to 147.

                    even the guys who made $$$$ at 154 up made their name at 147. leonard, hearns, etc.

                    same thing when you go over 160. the 168, 175 guys didn't make money like 160 guys.

                    think it has to do with the original divisions and how 147, 160 and heavy are the glamour/money divisions. the under 147 and super/junior divs weren't as popular to casuals.

                      it's always about money.

                      pac or arum's.
