This is just bull****. There was nothing in the contract that said Oscar could not rehydrate over a certain weight. Oscar coming in on fight night at such a low weight was his and his camp's own stupid fault. Everyone was expecting him to be in the 150's or maybe even 160 on fight night. Also it was Oscars idea to make that fight happen, AND Pacquiao was a HUGE underdog in this fight.
The Pac-May fight ain't happen, so Pac been collectin $ fightin whoever else is around. Pac's about done anyway, so no reason for Arum to have not wanted the fight anytime since last yr. And at this point, who gives a **** if they fight or not anyway?
Freddie handpicked Oscar because he said he can not pull the trigger,and then weight drained.. The predictions had Oscar winning because they thought he would be a lot bigger.. Manny beat a Oscar good,but a shot,drained one.. He even had the iv marks on his arm,that Freddie Roach noticed,it was a smart move by Roach camp to give the illusion Oscar had a chance,but Freddie knew all along Oscar is done,and could not make the weight..
revisionist history coming from a *****. so now it was pac who cherrypicked oscar and not the other way around? did you even know that oscar was supposed to rematch floyd at WW and pac was just a replacement?
Yeah Bob Forced Floyd to take a vacation. Or Bob made Floyd lose the Urge. Bob also told Floyd to beat Josie Harris ass. And told him to make a racist rant on ustream. Its all Bob's fault.
That is all nice and dandy if it wasnt a bunch of BS, it Was Oscar who called Pacquiao who was fighting three divisions bellow him out and said lets meet at welterweight, he was the one that cherrypicked Pacquiao not the other way around and that cherrypick backfired on his ass.And if he was drained he only has himself to blame not anyone else cause he was the one calling the shots not Pac,Roach or Arum.
Top rank is great at creating superstars . . . Bob has done a great job getting manny to reach new heights in his career. I would not say he was protecting Manny, per say, But rather well calculated and effective matchmaking . . .This is what a good promoter is suppose to do. I think Bob would rather match Pac with in house fighters because if he lost it would only build up someone in his stable and he makes a **** load of money (probably as much as if he set up the PBF fight). I think Bob thinks that he has Milked Manny as much as he can and with the "official" lost to timmie he might risk a big pay off with PBF. This may be the closest we can hope for this fight to happen. Bob did not want the fight for years so now pac might be only the slide he might throw him to the wolves. If he wins, thats a bonus
