Had Floyd Fought Pacquiao in 2010...

then Pac would not be the man he is today...Floyd would of beat him and Manny would just be considered another good but not great fighter on his resume. After all that's what they say about every other opponent Floyd has beaten...isn't it?

In retrospect Arum keeping Pac from Floyd is the smartest thing he ever did. The Pac parade would of ended 4 years ago had he let that fight happen. So I cant blame Arum, when you see some of Pac's fans...some who think he's the second coming, I would juice his fanbase for all its worth too... even if it means fighting somebody named Chris Algieri in Macau China.

Bob's agenda is simple, lets keep that Floyd fight up in the air, keep people talking and cash out when the time is right. Bob treats Pac like a stock, buy when its hot and sale when its not, this upcoming fight in China show's me that Arum is still milking his investment for all its worth. If this fight bombs he'll try to finally make the Mayweather fight and everybody knows Pac's career is pretty much done at that point.

So for me, this is why I dont care for that fight anymore, its a cash out match plain and simple.

 

As good as Manny was in 2010 Floyd was still better, would of been a great fight but Pac would of surely loss....lets be honest, Bob Arum was terrified at the idea of putting Pac in with Floyd. If he was confident he would of signed that 50/50 contract dont you think?

After all he had no problem signing Pac to face Old Oscar, Catchweight Cotto, or Ricky Get Hit Man?

 

Where did I bash Pacquiao? Most of my bashing is directed towards his promoter. If you are a Pac fan then I'm assuming you must love Bob Arum because I never seem to see you guys pointing out how Arum has blocked the fight for years now. I would think that at this point both Pac and Floyd fans could agree that Bob Arum is the problem but maybe Pac fans are not ready to admit and accept that yet....

 

I decided to click on your link and take a look at what you've concocted and my question is what does that image have to with boxing? It may be true that some people who claim to be fans of Floyd are simply Money Team groupies, wannabes, or hooked on flash. I'd like to remind you though that some of us, like myself, have been watching Floyd's career since the 90s. The first Floyd fight I watched live on HBO was against Genaro Hernandez and I was very impressed with Pretty Boy Floyd and you know what.....not one person yelled Money Team! Floyd is a hell of a fighter and I see no way possible you can not be a fan of his if you been watching him since 98.

Likewise the first time I saw Manny was against Barrera I was impressed, I picked him to lose, my wise uncle told me otherwise, he said Manny has the advantage, his limber, quicker, and got unorthodox angles he'll beat Barrera. He remarked Barrera was too stiff and predictable, he was right, I was wrong. I became a fan of Pac as well...right up to when he refused to sign to fight Floyd over a blood test, that's an unforgivable duck in my book.

 

I may have made a lot of Floyd threads but I'm certain they all have to do with boxing....his money, cars, girls, material items, dont concern me...I like boxing skill and no current fighter has more of it than Floyd.

 

Those negotiations went into mediation with a third party a neutral judge, the mediator confirmed that Team Pacquiao better known as Bob Arum, called off the negotiations and left the table refusing Floyd's 14 day cut off offer. Lets be honest Bob didn't want to make that fight, he didn't believe Pac would win and that a loss to FLOYD in particular would ruin Manny's market value.
