    Money talks. Bull**** walks.

    Look at Pac's resume. Bob Arum isn't ruining his legacy, though the Mosley fight definately bull****. There's just no one else out there except for Floyd.

    Pacquiao's legacy as one of the best ever is set in stone. The only fights out there that could really boost his legacy and up his rating are Mayweather or Martinez at LMW or middle. Bradley and Berto might be better fights now than SSM, but they don't give Pac a big payday (or really push him higher in the atg lists), so in a sense, Arum is doing some good for his fighter. I hate it just as much as the next guy, but it's boxing and boxing is a business. SSM = $, Berto/Bradley =/= $.

    He was doing alright until this shitty ass Mosley fight. That is literally the most bull**** fight I have ever seen, nobody cares about Shane hes old and shot and will get his ass handed to him, and I dont give a **** about seeing Pac win another fight against someone who aint named Mayweather.

    Ruining it, no.

    Stalling it, maybe.

    But saying that, there's not much left out there for Pacquiao. If he can't get the bout, or even start negotiating the bout with Mayweather by the end of 2011 at the latest...he should retire. Nothing else at this point adds to his legacy.

    100 ten percent true !!! pac., roach and arum are cherry-picking. Eight titles is bull****. No way could the Margarito fight be for a legitimate title. Why not fight Marquez and settle the score for good? Because Juan Manuel Marquez has foght the best available,including Floyd Mayweather , who pac will not fight. Marquez will beat manny around the ring on any given night. Watch the first two fights and you can see it. If the public buy pac vs Mosley there is a problem !

    No way he's ruining it. Pac's legacy at this point can only get better. But he's definitely disappointing a lot of people wasting the #1 fighter in the sport on these type of fights.

    If pac was with gbp he'd still be weight draining himself at 135 to fight jmm for a 7th time after coming off.a.draw with vicente escobedo.
