    "When they settled in 2007, the key to the settlement was working out a deal on Pacquiao's contract, which they both believed -- for good reason -- they owned.

    This content is protected
    The suit filed last week is over the accounting for the fights Pacquiao has had against non-Golden Boy fighters since the settlement, namely David Diaz, Cotto and Joshua Clottey. And you can count on there being more issues after Pacquiao's Nov. 13 fight against Antonio Margarito.

    While both companies deserve blame for the complete mess of their relationship, you know who deserves the most blame?

    Pacquiao.

    Too many people forget, or ignore, that he is responsible for so much of the acrimony.

    Remember: Under cover of night in 2006, Pacquiao took a bag stuffed with hundreds of thousands of dollars from De La Hoya, who had picked him up in a limo at Los Angeles International Airport and whisked him away to a clandestine dinner at a steak house to seal the deal.

    But Pacquiao deserves the blame because he is the one who signed with two companies at the same time. When he took De La Hoya's bag of cash, he apparently forgot that he had just recently signed with Top Rank.

    Pacquiao's idiotic move ultimately left the companies mostly at each others' throats since, even though he eventually pledged loyalty to Arum."

    I just want to see the fight judged fairly this time.

    I have a feeling if its marginally close, or if Bradley clearly wins Pac will still get the nod, Thus setting up a rubber match.

    Especially if this time round its a barn burner.

    Pac doesnt talk as even a 10th of what Floyd does . . . I am pretty sure there a list of all the excuse team pac has made and it was close to 40 or more.

    Oh and Pac will be weak cause he gets blood drawn…just like in the Morales fight. WAIT:patsch…..no no no that wasn't because off blood right? It was because of a bad pair of faux cotton socks that hurt his feet? :nut

    He better, because Timmah is becoming a sweetheart of HBO, so this time close rounds won't have lampley going BANG BANG BANG each time a Pac glancing blow lands and make everyone watching on TV think it is a 10-2 fight.

    according to this article….In the settlement, Top Rank retained Pacquiao's promotional rights with Golden Boy to share a percentage of Top Rank's profits from his fights. WHen Pac fights a GB fighter, GB keeps the money and when Pac fights a Top Rank fighter, Top Rank keeps the money.

    No wonder Arum doesnt want to have Pac fight Floyd, Golden Boy will retain all of the $$$$ and Arum will be left out in the cold. Arum knows this which is why fighters like Mosley & JMM had to leave GB to secure fights with Pac and sign with Top Rank for the fight.

    IMO this has nothing to do with Manny and Mayweather ducking each other or are afraid of each other. This is bigger than the fighters, Arum won't let Oscar and GB take all the money for the biggest fight ever so he isn't letting it happen under his watch.

    Yes Mayweather is fighting a "champion" in Maidana but at the end of the day Maidana is slow and predictable. He got outboxed by Alexander i wonder what Mayweather will do to him. Mayweather knows when to fight his opponents once they have that "belt" but is tailor made for him!:deal
