    And go freelance like floyd is?
    Arum is making serious money off him and he deserves credit for getting manny to where he is now. But i cant shake the feeling that Pacquiao has outgrown Arum now. its nothing personal its just good business.

    But i guess Pac has too much on his plate like congress, movies etc to be bothered with promoting himself full time.

    And i also feel the floyd v pac fight would be easier to negotiate if arum wasn't in the picture.

    what do you think? Should pac go freelance?

    I think he should. Maybe do about 5 fights on his own and it would be great for him to go out making as much money as he can. If he did leave Arum, Arum would tell all though.

    I think the Pac-May fight would be easier to negotiate with out Arum in the picture.

    Easier said than done when you're not an American setting up and running a US-based promotions company.

    Floyd was also Uncle Bob's creation and he was able to abandon his creator. It is possible.

    I think deep in his heart he wants to and he thinks something is not right bc he hired VisionQuest at one point to look into things.

    This is interesting..I've wonder lately with all this money scandal in Manny's camp, why as big as he is, doesn't leave Arum...It's not like he needs a big promotional company to sell his fights, or get him fights....

    His fights are already sold, and any resputable promotional company will do, and it's not like its hard to find someone willing to fight Pac.

    Why is it he doesn't buy his contract out, doesn't leave TR, and be a free agent like DLH or Mayweather?

    Could that scumbag Arum be blackmailing Pac? :think

    ODLH was also under Arum, and when both DLH and Mayweather acheived super stardom, they left.

    I am not sure but if Manny left Arum tonight you can bet your ass Arum will be on record in the morning saying how he was trying to get Manny to do the testing and Manny got mad at him or some **** ans wanted out of his contract.

    manny would be a scum for using steroids

    manny can leave but just doesn't want to. it's not like he can't sue bob if bob told everyone he's on steroids

    This is true. DLH and Mayweather left and Arum pretty much immediately started his smear campaign. Pac would be no different.
