    Me neither, funny considering Arum basically said Mayweather was never on the table for Manny after JMM 3, the tried to drain Cotto to below 150, and that Manny personally ducked Marquez a 4th time, giving no legitimate reason, and saying lets do that later, when JMM is close to 40:think

    Interesting things said by Bob, I haven't seen this before...

    Manny didn't want JMM 4 right now, said he'd take it later... Why?!
    They got Bradley on Top Rank because he's a good fighter and he's what Top Rank wants, doesn't trash talk.
    Pac wanted Cotto this fight, but wouldn't budge from 147.
    Arum acts as if Manny never said he'd take less than 50/50, saying Floyd's demand came from nowhere.
    Claims there were NO other problems. (Uh Stadium? Pac's Cut? May 5th date?)
    Claims Floyd feels he's entitled to more money because he's American and Manny is a foreigner. (When did he say that? I missed that one)
    Pretty much says Manny can't take a lesser split and then run for government in his country because he people won't respect him for giving into Floyd...?

    Pac waiting for Marquez isn't really a good idea. His style is way more affected by age than Marquez'. It's a little like if RJJ said he was gonna wait a bit longer before fighting Hopkins... not smart cause Roy is degrading at a faster pace than Hopkins even if he's younger..

    Instead of Arum saying Manny wants he should have said "I want" because what Floyd offered him was his biggest payday ever. Manny has to go independent to make this fight and should just like Cotto did.

    that **** works both way cause 50/50 would've been Floyd's biggest payday ever and he didn't even wanna think about it.

    Not really when bookies know hes coming off a fight which he lost, bookies are putting out safe odds and they dont lie. Truth is it could be a close fight.

    Check the odds for the JMM-Pacquiao fight.. When the KING fights, he's usually favored BIG! The Pac Man is the #1 P4P fighter on the planet.. :deal
