If Don King was running Top Rank would the fight have been signed?

    Yes he would.

    He was a theif, and a horrible human being, but he at least got the ****ing big fights made.

    Absolutely... King would see that even in defeat Pacquiao is still a very profitable fighter and the rematch would be even juicer.

    Just Tyson? Ask Larry and so many others. Arum is not a con man? King and Arum are the same age and Arum just has the better stable of fighters right now. Arum is just as bad as King. Arum got to Oscar and others before King. They are rival enemies, but don't let Arums old ass fool you. King put on some of the greatest fights ever and I also believe if he was in charge of TR, the fight would have been made with stipulations of rematches. All promoters battle to get fighters like Oscar and other Olympic fighters. Arum and King have some of the best offers and resources. Arum must be a nice guy, but then again, two of the best like Oscar and PBF don't want to have anything to do with him.

    No

    Floyd would still use any excuse to duck out of the fight with Pac.

    No doubt it would happen...now I don't know what "would have happened" (because strong chance of some **** going down) but it would have 100% already happened.

    If Floyd signed with Don King, the fight would have been made already.
