Whats being a free agent has to do in fighting other fighter in the first place? Isn't rediculous? Though Floyd is a boxer & good businessman, Manny is boxer & a politician for crying out loud, he is not even a good negotiator so he needs those people. And also, He needs machineries of a well stablished promotonal company. Dont take that away from him. Besides, it is Manny who will fight in the ring & not Arum. Floyd shuold be a real "Great" Boxer once and for all.

Pacquiao: Not Using Mayweather's Name To Push My PPV. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=657581Comment

Come on, man. As much as silly fans wanna forget, Floyd Mayweather called him out on twitter, told him to step up back in 2012 and Arum basically ran from the fight. Said something about an open air stadium, then a cut, blah blah. It was the most blatant duck in a while. Did you forget that? And that was when Manny didn't have a fight signed. I can almost guarantee that you probably had an excuse for Team Pacquiao then. So what now? When he moves to 140 after this, what are you going to say then?Comment

A promoter that pays Manny $20 mil of his own money btw..at this point Pac should be a brand of his own and honestly should be calling his own shots and putting up his own money fpr his events and reaping the benefits...but nope its all Bob..lucky dude has a talent like Pac whose lacking in the intelligence dept smdhComment

So what you're saying is that it's okay for Manny to turn down 2 offers, but Floyd is not a real "great" boxer until he agrees with Bob Arum's desires. Wouldn't a real "great" boxer take fully random OST? Wouldn't a real "great" boxer take $40 million dollars for a fight? When Floyd wanted his shot at Oscar, who was the man, he left Top Rank, and accepted much less than $40 million, to get a shot at the #1 P4P fighter. Cotto did the same to get a shot at Floyd. Why should Manny be any different from Floyd and Oscar? Manny has made his choice, and I think it was the wrong choice:
Not including himself, six of the nine fighters on ESPN's top 10 ranking for the welterweight division are unavailable to Manny Pacquiao because of the politics surrounding the sport of boxing today.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana, Shawn Porter, Devon Alexander and Robert Guerrero are all signed with Al Haymon who Pacquiao's people***8212;Top Rank and HBO***8212;refuse to work with at the current time.
Two other names on the top 10 list are Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, a pair that Pacquiao has fought a combined six times. Besides Kell Brook, there isn't a single compelling matchup available to Pacquiao in the welterweight division.
Some of you might be thinking that a move back down to junior welterweight might make matchmaking a little easier, but many of the top guys in that division like Danny Garcia, Adrien Broner, Lucas Matthysse and Lamont Peterson are also signed with Haymon, which makes all of those matchups dead on arrival as well.
Pacquiao is already a lock for the Hall of Fame in my view and I'm sure in the view of most others, so he doesn't have much if anything left to prove. But it is a shame that years of his career are being wasted on fighting the likes of Brandon Rios and Chris Algieri.

it's the same week that manny sent koncz to mayweather's gym. unfortunately mayweather is not thinking of boxing at that time. if only floyd is thinking about boxing when a pacquia representative is in his face maybe we could have floyd-pacquiao 3 right now.
let us talk about pacquiao ducking floyd by moving to 140 when pacquiao has drop his 147 title.
if floyd can hold two title at the same time, manny can do it too.Comment
