Raheem was nobody and had no fanbase. Why should any promoter pick this guy who's only rep was beating Morales? This guy was even beaten by an average fighter Juarez. With your stupidity, I don't think you have a future in boxing promotion. Btw, it's the promoters who choose Pac's opponents. They decide whether a fight is viable or not. Pac should be the last one to be blamed, if ever.
Again did you watch Raheem vs Juarez? Answer that question. If you say yes and you thought Juarez clearly won it then you just killed your arguement.
I'll tell you why cause the promoters, trainers of Pacquiao knew Raheem has the perfect style to beat Pacquiao so they don't want to take a chance and instead fought Morales cause of the money and cause Morales was way past his prime and would be weight drain badly.
You've just lost your credibility, my friend. Here is link stating that there was a rematch clause: http://www.gmanews.tv/story/12197/Pacquiao-Morales-on-stiff-fines-for-excess-weight Here is another one. Arum, Morales' erstwhile promoter said: “Erik told me he wants to exercise the rematch clause because he knows he can beat Pacquiao,” promoter Bob Arum says. “He felt that what he did wrong was he blew up in weight and then had to drop so much to get down to 130 that he expended all his energy.” http://www.***********.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=3033 (scene of boxing) Obviously, you don't know what you're talking about, my friend. The fact is Pac won the second fight and he was obligated to fight Morales who chose to exercise his right in the rematch clause.
You know Pacquiao should learn alot from Cotto cause unlike Pacquiao, Cotto choose to fight a tougher fighter then an easy fighter like choosing Clottey instead of Cintron. Cotto would have got pay more money fighting Cintron then he would of fighting Clottey. To me that's what a true great fighters suppost to do.
Dude, what are you talking about? Are you talking about the 2nd fight? If so then how in the WORLD WOULD MORALES EXERCISE A REMATCH CLAUSE IF HE WAS THE ONE THAT BEAT PACQUIAO IN THE FIRST FIGHT?????? I think you meant the 3rd fight right? Cause i wasn't talking about the rubber match you moron.
It's Arum's decision for Cotto to fight Clottey. They belong to the same promotional outfit. Thus, more money for Arum's Top Rank. :deal
I was talking about the 3rd fight because Raheem appeared to you as a legit opponent because he beat Morales.
Dude why are you talking about the 3rd fight? Raheem beat Morales before Morales fought Pacquiao in the 2nd fight. I said Pacquiao should have fought Raheem instead of Morales rematch (the 2nd fight). Are you ok? You seem lost.
Seriously, man, why should Pac fight Raheem when Pac had an unfinished business w/ Morales who had beaten him in a close fight. Why should you if you were the promoter choose Raheem who had no rep at all other than beating Morales in a UD. Morales had beaten Pac in a close match and if I am the promoter, I would choose Morales a future HOF in a rematch.
Arum gave Cotto a choice of which 3 fighters that Arum name that Cotto should pick of who to fight. One of then 3 was Cintron and Clottey and Cotto choose Clottey cause he feel Cotto was the tougher opponent.
The fact is Raheem had nothing to bring on the table. No fanbase = no money. :deal Morales had beaten Pac in an exciting close fight. Morales had fanbase and money to bring on the table. If you were the promoter: whom would you choose? Raheem who was supposed to be a tune up fight of Morales. Btw, Pac also had a tune up fight w/ Velasquez in the same card. You're a disastrous promoter, son, if you're thinking to be one. :deal And btw, Pac does not choose whom to fight. It's the decision of his promoter and training staff. :deal
Of course you would choose Morales cause of unfinish business with Pacquiao and blah blah excuse. I would choose Raheem cause in reality if Pacquiao is a great fighter then he should fight the better opponent and Morales is not one of them cause he was coming off an embarrassing lost and he prove he was way past his prime unless many biased fans are blind as a bat. Pacquiao could still fought Morales in the 2nd if he beats Raheem right? Do you realize that? Maybe not.
