    Nix Juan.......he's definitely not looking at another fight with Manny with that epic knockout. Wish there were more options for Manny but I think Tim wants to erase the memories of the last fight by doing his best to really beat Manny in a rematch.......Ruslan said he isn't interested in a fight with his gym mate but we shall see when he figures out just how much money he stands to make.

    This vendetta between promotional companies is really starting to **** me off. It's gone from annoyance, to maybe they can work it out down the road, to "WTF GUYS!"

    Seriously, it's over. Anybody who discusses any Top Rank vs Golden Boy matches are just wasting their time.

    And ?

    It's really hard to defend a duck.

    Did Floyd sign the contract ?

    I would like a Bradley rematch or a Provodnikov fight but no Marquez 5, the ko was the exclamation point on the series.

    The sad thing is out of the very very limited Top Rank options. 3 of those fights we already saw, the other two, Alvarado(yawn) and the most exciting fight out of those, Pacquiao-Provo may not happen anyway

    Im still wondering why not a single ******* here has made a thread about how arum is fkn whats left of pacquiao's career

    **** is old and frustrating......Old man Bob is getting more and more difficult to work with. He has the other half of the best stable of fighters.....the other half obviously is golden boy. The feud between DLH and Bob has now become a feud between Dick and Bob. The Jew is going to have to croak before we witness a truce between the two promotional juggernauts.

    That's true, but what does it get us?

    Floyd fights Khan (jesus christ, what a terrible undeserving fight) and Pac fights Bradley (decent if already seen before) or Alvarado (jesus christ, what a terrible undeserving fight).

    Boxing will be better off when Floyd retires, Manny retires and Arum retires. They all act like a bunch of children when it suits their purposes with their legions of fans ready to leap to their defense.

    Those are the only 3 fights that will pay.
    Plus those are the 3 best welters right now.
    Everyone else lines up behind them.
    Excluding Floyd.
    Plus - if JMM fightd Bradley, that leaves only Ruslan.

    well it wont be like that forever, just doesnt happen in any sport. Scahfer just sent a contract last year for a fight with Mares and Donaire, even though Arum turned it down he tried. preety sure out of 365 days next year he'll send another contract of a fight the people want. it'll end at some point, maybe nextg year

    It's not only Manny but Bradley too. Not too many options. I too find it difficult for Provodnikov to fight Manny because of the same trainer. So that lives only Marquez and Bradley for Pac. Marquez wants Bradley, Bradley wants Provodnikov and Provodnikov wants Marquez, Rios and Bradley but not Pac.

    This is what I see happening:
    Provodnikov vs Rios
    Marquez vs Bradley 2
    Pac...without a fight!
    :deal

    GBP has more options at 140-147 than TR. Arum is done if Bradley jumps ship!

    Hope he goes for Bradley II or Marquez 5. Provodnikov should go for Rios.

    Pac only has 3 worthy opponents to end his career. Marquez 5, Bradley 2 and Mayweahter. Everyone else is just below him (Garcia, Matthysse, Ruslan, Porter, Alexander, etc) Just like Mayweather, he only has two worthy opponents before he calls it quits...Bradley and Pac. Everyone else is just a yaaaawwwnnn whoever Floyd chooses.

    But ofcourse the TR/GBP and HBO/Showtime can't permit those fight.
