    I agree with Football Coach and I see his point. It's about time Manny speaks up for himself. But I don't think he does because he contradicts himself too much. He says he's ok with testing just not the day of the fight right? Then why did he turn down the fight when Floyd offered a 14 day cut off?

    It's better to hear it from the horses mouth than the horses behind.

    Thats all i am saying sir! I want to hear from Manny not Arum and Roach. Tell us why 14 days was turned down and i want to hear it from the Champ! Even if he has to say that was Arum's doing not mine at least we would know!

    :lol: That's like calling Einstein a ****** or FreddyWak isn't really mexican! You have no idea what the definition of a "puppet" is. If PAC is a puppet then there's a LONG line of boxers who are desperately trying to take his spot.:rofl

    To me, Manny just doesn't have a mind of his own. Bob Arum keeps whispering little ideas in his ear and Manny goes along with it. We know Manny is a nice easy going guy. So can anyone explain to me why he wouldn't agree to Floyd's 14 day cut off back during the 1st negotiations when from the beginning all he wanted was for the test not to be so close to the fight? Sounds like Bob got into is ear again.

    I don't think Manny has to say anything to anyone. What he does in the ring speaks for itself, if anything Roach and Arum are his puppets because they all know Manny is the money train.

    Its easy for people like Floyd to pop off with the mouth because he is a boxer and thats it. Manny is a boxer, national treasure and a congressman.He seems to be a real humble guy and taking **** just isn't in him (in front of a mic).

    Also his English (to me) is good. He says "um and uhh" alot because he is trying to say the right things in a foreign tongue to him.

    Arum controls everything, and that's hard to deny. Pac himself has said that he will fight whoever the promoter chooses. He does so because he supposedly wants to make the most money possible and completely trusts his promoter, but they take a big cut out of his pay, for doing basically little.

    Pac does all the work, but probably see less than 50% of the revenues. In a thread a while back, I posted breakdowns of what Pac was taking, but I don't feel like looking for it now. As long as Pac makes a certain amount, he doesn't care if Arum makes more than him for basically just talking, while Pac brings in all the revenue and actually fights.

    I see every post here always seem to go back to comparing Pac and Floyd.

    Floyd is more of an entrepreneur and he sees the bigger picture as far as business goes. Pac is more of a blue collar worker that doesn’t have the mind to go against Arum as evident to him signing a terrible contract. Floyd is his own boss while Pac has a boss this doesn’t mean Pac is less then Floyd but you can clearly see Floyd is in it to make the most money possible. I am sure if Pac could do it over again he would be more like Floyd as far as business goes and he would not have signed with Arum for starters.

    The Bob Father has been good to Pacquiao and Manny thanks him for that. I don't know what you and Floyd is talking about. Pac is paid reasonably well. Than this crook. Pac is not greedy. As far as i see Pac has never made an issue about money with the BOB Father like Floyd does.
