    it's worth noting that they are repeating the gatti formula with pacquiao.

    Yep

    I can't believe people were fooled by it

    Manny was allowed to feast on Floyd's leftovers and already wiped out opponents for the longest

    He actually makes a good point. People want to see entertaining, compelling matchups. Sometimes a fight like that happens that doesn't necessarily feature a matchup of the best against the best.

    arum and his matchmakers used similar formulas for dlh, floyd, cotto and pac. u don't get to the top without careful/selective match making. but in the case of pac...they got a bit more creative in their approach imo.

    Is this supposed to be surprising? Every promotional company is following that business model.

    You should only be surprised by this if you just started following boxing in the last 6 months or so and are getting acclimated to everything.
