After the Marquez fight, Murad couldn't get anybody notable to fight MannPac. No offense to Gairy St. Clair, but most boxing fans where expecting the likes of Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Harrison and Injin Chi to be next in line for a match with the thunderous southpaw.

Is this the fault of Murad Muhammad? Should Manny Pacquiao change promoters?

As hungry as he is, I think that this unforntunate screwing did him some good. I mean he fought MAB, then JMM. Rough schedule. He can't be fighting opponents in that caliber ALL the time. He needs his "tune-up" to improve but ultimately to prolong his career.

I DO think that Murad should be fired not of his incompetence (he got Ledwaba, MAB, Marquez then Morales had he won.) but for the fact that he has screwed Manny multiple of times. Murad got too greedy too fast. Didn't even give the kid a chance to make big money before profiting. He screwed Manny and himself in the end.

I definitely agree. Only Murad knows how much Murad is getting out of Manny's purse.

Yop I mean wtf is that? I don't really know excatly if this is common practice between other boxers and their respective promoters, but that ain't a way to gain trust with your client. Bottom line is even if Manny gets the big bucks later on, Murad will just get greedy and choose big fights that will lead to Manny's downfall. I mean WTF "Burn a a firy road through Mexico". That's pretty rough. I don't doubt Manny's capabilities as I am a fan but heck to dispose of the top 3 featherweights in the past 10 years in 9 months is risky. You can make or break your career in one fight so why gamble his career like that when he's only 25 years old? Cuz Murad's ****ing yellow. Mannn, ****ing right his ass is gonna get fired. Serves him right.

As I have said many times....Manny should switch to Golden Boy or Top Rank. It is THOSE two who control the featherweights.

Pacman deserves the best the world can offer. Not the 19th ranked
featherweight in the world. He is at his prime and still picking up.
He deserves the BIG BUCKS FIGHTS NOW . Away with Murad and on with
Top Rank or Golden Boy Promotions for the Destroyer..the Greatest Asian Boxer of All Time !
