    Oscar used to be Bob Arum's cash cow and then he turned on him after he left and the same thing happened to Floyd.

    Bob Arum obviously cherry picks fights for Manny(you can say Floyd cherry picks fights also and as well as Oscar when he was the cash cow) and he says he stuff like I'll pick an opponent and then look for Manny's approval and then Manny turns around and says I just fight whoever my promoter wants me to fight, so they can take the blame off each other.
    I wonder what would happen if Manny decided to promote his own fights or switch promoters, what do you guys think Arum would do. Do you think he'll accuse Manny of ducking also and throw dirt on his name

    If Pac turned on Arum the way Oscar did, he probably would.

    Arum might say Floyd is the best since Ali, but he says Pac is even better than Ali

    It's all business. He would do what any promoter does. If im a promoter & have Pacquaio, he's the greatest fighter of all time. If im a promoter & Pacquiao leaves, he was an overrated guy I matched carefully. It's business, not personal

    If Pac was to try and leave him now of course he would it's been his standard MO for years now. First Oscar then PBF. Arum is the biggest POS and snake in boxing:deal

    Saying Floyd is the best since Ali is even worse.

    Saying Pac is better than Ali is one of the worst thing said in modern history and a disgrace to the sport.:deal

    :lol: It's personal to some of the fanboys here. They give SO MUCH WEIGHT to something Arum says, then use it to shoot him back. Bunch of ****in Rubes... :patsch

    If it was in Arum's interests, he'd turn on Pacquiao in a second. That's just the kind of guy he is.
