    you right about that. Arum DID say that whoever Pac fights next is up to him

    I blame Pac because Arum works for him not the other way around. Not only that Pac doesn't need Arum he's big enough to call his own shots.:deal At first I thought it was mostly Arum but I think it's Arum, Pac and Roach who don't want this fight.

    he appears to be extremely docile and childlike when it comes to who he will fight. Meet the future president of the Philippines: Bob Arum.

    No, Arum never wanted this fight from day 1. From the time he was throwing tantrums over the venue back in december 09 all the way to now. Never.

    Pacs stock will go down significantly if he fights floyd first

    If this was Mayweather people would be calling it "brilliant negotiating strategy", "Building the fight bigger", etc.... You really think Arum wants to risk another fight with Marquez if he can ink the bigger fight with Mayweather after what happened Saturday? I think Arum is positioning himself. Just my guess. Seriously, another fight with Marquez and he can probably kiss the money for a Mayweather fight good by.

    Pac's stock is already at an alltime low after his performance against JMM. Why not cashout now against PBF when you can still get something?

    I saw this coming a mile away. Pacquiao fans will say, Floyd never took the fight, we'll make him wait. The Pacquiao era is over. Let's see what the ppv numbers are. Hope they were good.

    I told anyone who believed that Arum most likely has to die for the fight to happen. Now, Arum knows the bad taste/controversy of this 3rd fight puts a serious damp on a Pac-Mayweather fight. Mayweather dominated Marquez, Pac severely struggled and tons of people think he lost. Arum has built on the whole "we destroy Mayweather leftovers better than he does" and he bet on this happening here but it didn't. Expect Arum to make the 4th fight, pray and hope Marquez gets older, maybe gets arthritis, the bones in his legs and rest of his body get more brittle restricting his movements so that Pacquaio can get a big KO victory....then you will see Bob back to his normal Mayweather bashing self. :deal
