    And vice versa. Take your hater shades. Pointing the finger at one person is pure ignorance. I don't see anything stopping either side from discussing it now. Oh yeah, only one side has shown any interest. Guess who that is?

    They will never do it until Pac shows that he can get past a Slick Brown FIghter!

    I honestly don't know what Pac wants. Before the fight he says he wants Floyd. After the fight he allows Arum to put a gag order on him and then he runs back to the Phillipines before anyone can speak with him. I no longer believe Pac fights everybody. I think he just uses Bob as his scape goat. In that case he may not be as dumb as I thought. Because it prevents him from getting any heat from boxing fans.

    0%? Really? If your Roach, Arum, or Pac, and you thought you lost the Marquez fight, and have the fear of losing your game/ getting shot maybe. Are you seriously not going to fight Mayweather for 50 mil????
    If those 3 think he's slown down, and squeeked by Marquez, and perhaps losing his next fight (OFFICIALLY), do you really take a chance against Bradley, Khan, etc for a lot less $, and screw your mega fight in the process??! Hell no, you fight Floyd immediately cuz if you lose, you might as well make the most $ possible. Also, even if he were to lose to Floyd he can always rematch JMM, fight bradley, khan, martinez, etc, and people will still watch him. If he loses to those guys in his next fight, half the audience that will watch Mayweather/ Pac won't be interested then.

    He went out there and got spanked. I think the Pacman did enough to retain his title. I don't think that Marquez brought the heat. He needed to land some leather during the breaks in the action. He needed to lead and get off first. He won narrowly, but he got spanked in the process. JMM is an excellent fighter. I have to give him credit.

    "For me, Mayweather is the number one choice to fight next. I'm trying to get hold of Manny, to get his feelings on it. If the choice is $30 million to fight Marquez or Mayweather for $100 million in the biggest fight of all time, I'm sure he'd go for Mayweather. But I haven't had the chance to talk to him." -roach

    Sometimes i think people here don't read. Arum DOES care about Pacquiao. He's not thinking about JUST boxing. He believes Pac will be President of the Phillipines one day and he said Mayweather will destroy Pac's reputation leading up to the fight.. and i believe he knows Pac won't win the fight... but a HUGE part of it is he said he doesn't want to see what Floyd is going to do publicly to Pac during the promotion

    http://slumz.boxden.com/f16/bob-aru...ac-becoming-president-stopping-fight-1647959/

    "It's been an amazing run, that's why I get very very impatient with a lot of this Mayweather nonsense. Because the game plan here is to be president of the Philippines. The game plan is not to be the pound for pound guy for five or six years, it is to transcend boxing and to move on to the rest of his life."

    ... "One of the reasons I never really was so keen on a Mayweather fight which I now truly believe is an easy fight for Pacquiao is because how Manny is going to be tainted by some of the vile things that Mayweather comes out with. Even though he'll be the good guy, God knows what Mayweather is capable of saying. It's one thing to talk about how much better a fighter he is and Manny can't do this or that, but Mayweather, who has no sensibility in this, is capable of insulting the country. The ignorance is so appalling."

    Chances are 100% if Arum and PacMan are looking to cash out.

    Arum because after seeing what JMM did to him he will throw him in against his arch enemy and move on to Brandon Rios as his next cash cow.

    PacMan because he'll agree to the tests, and if was using some type of EPO, he'll say, "**** it. I won't take EPO for this fight, I'll lose, make about 50million, and call it a career." Either way, he'll win. He wins 50mil and no one will have been the wiser as to his use of EPO during his career.

    Why? Its simple! Because with other fighters Arum is keeping it in-house and all the earnings are for him. If Pac fights Mayweather, Arum will have to share the wealth with GBP, which is what he doesn't want. So its easier for him to make Mosley and now Bradley get a contract with TR than have them be with GBP or any other promoter.
