Pacquiao vs Ramirez for the 140 title? Does that really interest anyone? Much rather have him against other name fighters that are faded, that's why Matthysse is perfect

I'd rather see him take on the entire PBC WW roster. Go out with a ****. Pacquiao should have never signed that extension with Arum, he would be doing great fights left and right. Boxing would be so much more exciting.

Like clockwork here comes arum trying to stop manny from fighting who he wants and trying to again steer him to only fighting in house top rank fighters. Looks like everyone wants the fight but arum. Fans want it, Golden boy already said they want it and will let Lucas fight on ESPN, Lucas said he wants it, manny wants it, roach on record saying he wants it, manny's manager wants it.

But arum is constantly throwing a wet blanket first tried to make him fight alvardo, now wants him to go to 140 and fight ramirez. SMH

he's go out with a **** alright. ****** out in his face. At this stage of his career he's better off staying away from those young welters and stick to guys who are in the decline like he is,,, such as mathysse.

Exactly!

It's a good fight for everyone really; Pac, Mattysse, fans. Everyone except Arum!

However, Arum also has a really good point about believing it when the money is there.

How many times have we heard similar stories about funds coming from UAE, Dubai, now Malaysia, etc.
