I actually think Pac was in on the farce as well. One of the reasons for my thinking of this is that he actually look more disappointed post the JMM fight in November, than when he 'actually' beat Bradley last night. This content is protected This content is protected
I don't think this works as a theory. Why would arum want manny to lose in a fight that generates fraction in comparison to what would surely be the richest fight in boxing history?
Arum is doing all he can do to keep the money in-house. He has now generated a huge money fight for later on this year, and again it's 2 top rank guys. He has preserved Pac's image as one of the 2 best fighters in the world, nobody in their right mind thinks Bradley won. But at the same time, everyone understands a rematch IS necessary. If Pac KO's him in November, which he will, Pac is still the 2nd most marketable fighter in the sport.
Why would Arum serve up his biggest cash cow to Mayweather? If Mayweather wins, who is going to carry the Top Rank beacon. That's why Pac was robbed last night.
This is true...Pac didn't do anything in my eyes to convince me he can be beat Floyd they know the deal...Bob doesn't want Manny to even think about a Mayweather fight. Pac fights Bradley then retires or maybe fights Juan one more time
Ofcourse if Pacquiao looses to Mayweather he won't have a larger fan-base beacuse of it. But still it's not like everyone will stop watch him. It doesn't work that way.
