    They just put on a fight in China vs an unknown in Algeri. Manny will be fine if he loses. Losing to Floyd is not worst than getting KTFO by Marquez.
    The bolded part is true and thats why he will lose his luster.

    Yes itll be huge but if Manny loses his PPV days are over. Other than him TR is dead in the water. I dont think Arum is worried about money. Hes worried about TR

    Yes he has Crawford and Lemo but they are not even close to being ready yet. Bradley is not popular and just got a draw so Arum can A) keep Chavez relevant or B) have a future opponent for Bradley. Sorta like what he did with Bradley for Pac

      This Is nonsense. He was knocked out cold for a good minute and a half or more by Marquez, If there was any luster to be lost, It was lost.

        Hmm. Think some more.

          It was lost but the one who knocked him out wasnt Floyd.

          and that KO is still questioned by his fans

          Most are in denial and none of them accept it

            All this is nonsense. We all should know by now that Mayweather lost the May date. Specially for a Pacquiao fight because a fight of that magnitude takes more than a couple of months to promote and reserving a bigger venue is not that easy to do. 2nd Floyd himself has came out and said: "God first BUT (underline and bold BUT) I'm motivated by numbers." If you want big numbers, you got to go big! Another country (Arab Nations and a venue bigger than MGM). While the Cotto Canelo negotiations are almost complete.

              I actually think you are the one who is confused. Manny has been in been wars already, he doesn't have anything to prove. He can lose the rest of his fights till retirement, he is already known to be past his best. He still has a following and whether you like it or not he is more acceptable mainstream.

              Now, if Floyd ever lost all the crap you have been saying that will happen to Manny, that just might happen to Floyd. After Floyd retires, no one will care. If he is in the news hopefully it will not be negative.

                Arum is that you?

                This fight needs no promotion.

                  No, you are confused by what i wrote.

                  Never said if he loses his ATG card gets taken away

                  And yes if Floyd loses then the same goes for him

                  But Arum is currently the problem and this is why ithink he doesnt want fight
