    but Bob Arum likes stacking the deck in his favor, all ways.

    Williams would probably beat him, meaning Arum loses marketability and money on Pacquiao and since Williams isn't a TR fighter he can't make that up. The only reason Arum even allowed Pacquiao to fight Hatton was because Hatton was on a downward slide and this would help market Pacquiao in the UK. And the reason he allowed him to fight DLH was because DLH was on a downward slide, and that the exposure that DLH would provide would be plenty to cover the cost of a loss.

    Bob Arum works all the angles.

    I agree, although I do want to watch the fight. But what is Arum thinking....After this fight does bad in PPVs how does he think Manny is gonna even get 45% against Floyd. No way! This is gonna hurt negotiations :deal

    its **** fight that NOBODY, I mean NOBODY wants to see.

    best bet for pac is just to sit it out. he doesn't HAVE to fight in December either.

    You pacfans are lame. It's a WEIGHT CLASS not a HEIGHT class.

    I would be excited and scared of this match up, a year ago.

    A big, tall, brawling Mexican. SHould be exciting.

    I was actually beginning to be a fan of AM, before the wraps controversy.

    Right now, his lustre is gone, but the aura of danger and promise of a demolition derby night carnage is still there.

    3 types of people will tune in in droves, and buy the US PPV.
    Mexican boxing fans, Filipino boxing fans and people who wanna see Margo get busted up.

    lol the joke is i know that u know ur chatting ****, cause u follow boxing. All boxing followers know how physical advantages translates to the ring.

    But that aside, so u reasonably expect Manny to fight 6ft 3 PW..........in a new, untested 154 WEIGHT CLASS, when pac is already a weight class above his ideal? You know...there was a reason Floyd took Shamba Mitchell in his first welterweight outing.

    It seems like Floyd is going to improve his neg. power if this happens. Manny vs. Margarito would be 65000 to 800000 ppv buys. Mayweather could now take the Cotto fight and do 1.1 to 1.3 mil. It just seem to be favoring Paq. right now as far as big money fights.

    And how does this change the fact that there are no HEIGHTclasses in boxing, and a PW/MP fight would be better than a margariTOE?

    He doesn't have to fight at 154. He's already not at his best weight at 147 according to his fans, so why push himself extra? I know you follow boxing, so you should know that Williams was willing to fight pac @ 147.

    That was almost 2 years ago man when mosley was actually fit to fight. there are plenty of mexican fans that would buy this fight as well as pac fans ppv does easily over 1 mil, probably same as cotto or a bit under. Agree with you though Arum does have a way at pissing people off, I just hope floyd and pac fight before either one of them is not in his prime anymore that would be a damn shame.

    That's a bitches game you're playing.:deal

    Mosley wasn't DESTROYED by Cotto like Margarito was by Shane.
