    Forget PBF these are fights that he could get with GBP fighters:
    Canelo
    Lara
    Keith Thurman
    Shawn Porter
    Marcos
    Amir Khan
    Devon
    Robert G
    Garcia
    Lucas M

    compare that to Top Rank:
    Bradley 3
    JMM 5
    Rios 2
    Jesse Vargas
    Provo
    Alvarado

    It's a no brainer:deal

    I would say it is just a dumb move all the way around. TR has nothing to offer besides JMM5, TB5 and a bunch of blown up smaller fighters.

    Exactly which is why this is such a dumb move. They have nothing to offer him but a bunch of rematches and marginal fighters. GBP has a great stable of talent from 154-140 it isn't close.

    This quote says it all. GBP has a way better stable of fighters at jr. Welterweight and Welterweight.

    It's sad, cause I like watching Manny fight, he is a very explosive and entertaining fighter. Besides that, he is just a super good fighter. It's sad to see fighters getting ruined by promotions like TR.

    Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank's Bob Arum, told The Los Angeles Times that Pacquiao will fight Mayweather, but not on May 5.

    "June 9 is perfect," Arum told The Times from The Philippines where he is meeting with Pacquiao to talk about his next opponent. "May 5 is out, that's impossible."

    Mayweather's upcoming jail sentence however, complicates the issue.

    Mayweather was due to report to the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas last Friday to begin an 87-day sentence. He pleaded guilty to a reduced battery domestic violence charge and no contest to two harassment charges, stemming from a hair-pulling, punching and arm-twisting argument with his ex-girlfriend in front of two of their children.

    However, Mayweather's attorney successfully argued that the sentence should be delayed until June 1 so he could fulfill a contractual obligation for a fight at the MGM Grand, which he estimated would pour more than $100 million into the ailing Las Vegas economy.

    Arum told The Times that he would be "willing to chip in for lawyers' fees" to get Mayweather's report date moved to allow the fight to happen on June 9.

    Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisers, told ESPN.com that Mayweather was serious about calling out Pacquiao.

    "You heard him," Ellerbe said, noting that Mayweather is personally responsible for the content of the tweets sent from his verified account.

    So Mayweather is now free until June 1 and intends to fight May 5. However, he is without a dance partner.

    Rafael's Boxing Blog
    Rafael Get the latest scoop and analysis on the world of boxing from ESPN.com's Dan Rafael in his blog.

    The two names most often mentioned as potential opponents are junior middleweight titlist Saul "Canelo" Alvarez -- who is one division above Mayweather, the welterweight titlist -- and lightweight Robert Guerrero, who is two divisions below.

    Alvarez and Guerrero are being named as likely opponents because they would be fairly easy deals to make. They are both promoted by Golden Boy, which has served as Mayweather's de facto promoter in recent years, promoting his last five bouts even though they do not have a formal promotional contract.

    However, a fight between Mayweather and fellow welterweight champion and pound-for-pound star Pacquiao looms as the biggest fight in the sport -- and likely the richest fight in boxing history. There seems to be no legitimate impediment to making the match for May 5, Arum has not seemed interested previously.

    When Mayweather was supposed to go to jail last week, Arum talked about Pacquiao fighting on May 5 to take the spot of Mayweather. The next day, when Mayweather's sentence was delayed, Arum said Pacquiao would probably have to fight in June, blaming that on a cut Pacquiao suffered in his November majority decision win against Juan Manuel Marquez as the reason -- even though a cut taking more than six months to heal is unheard of.

    Arum's list of possible opponents for Pacquiao did not include Mayweather. Rather, it includes a rematch with junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto, whom Pacquiao stopped in the 12th round of a 2009 welterweight title bout; Marquez, for a fourth time; or a fight with junior welterweight titleholders Lamont Peterson or Timothy Bradley Jr.

    After Mayweather's sentence was delayed, Arum said he was not interested in talking to Pacquiao about fighting Mayweather in May.

    "We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told ESPN.com last week. "My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys. If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."

    Arum also said he was concerned that Mayweather might not be licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission with a conviction hanging over his head and jail time slated for June.

    "I don't even know if Mayweather will be licensed before he serves his time," Arum said.

    I agree much better fighters at GBP. Not saying Pac is scared but he made a dumb move by staying with Top Rank with lesser fighters this can't be argued.

    Floyd demanding pac to sign with tmt is already a duck move. Frawd willnever knows pac wont do it.

    arum and odlh are already in a truce. Floyd is not gbp so we may see pac fight a gbp fighter.... except not against the greatest ducker of all time.

    although i agree to disagree with you on his bad move to resign, none to a few of them guys on GBP will actually be of any help to him, career wise. forget fmj, we all know he will not fight canelo or lara..porter?? i rather have thurman who has been more expose to network fight pac..other then that a fight with khan would be ok..but what he really needs more than anything esle and i really hate it is a redemption match with marquez..yes, i would hate it..rather see them both fight other boxers....only two can really save his career, thats a definite and clear win over marquez, or a fight with fmj. we all just hope now that the rumors on talks between arum and dlh is not just rumors, but to really end the cold war.

    In fat Dan's article he mentions a signing bonus for an undisclosed amount. I figure Bob paid off the tax man, and Manny jumped at the chance to settle that debt. He probably gave him some cash too to keep him liquid in lieu of the lack of ppv revenue and The terms are a secret for a reason. Manny has no foresight. Dude is a moron!

    A 5th fight with JMM does nothing for his career IMO. Khan, Porter, Maidana, Thurman, Garcia and Lucas are all better options. They all get fans more excited than Bradley, JMM and the no hopers that Top Rank has.
