    :deal THIS

    its amazing how n00bs talk like fighters pick & choose who they wanna fight cuz they are wholly independent... WTF kind of world do they live in? There's a person called a "Promoter". If you're not familiar with this word, outta look it up in the dictionary....

    If he's lined up for Mosley, its completely because of Arum.... its a bigger payday and public pull.... of course its not what the boxing community wants.... its not even what freddie roach wants. He's already said that SSM just needs to retire and it wouldnt even be a competitive or challenging fight.

    You have no idea how naive you sound. I suggest you take up your own advice and look up the word "promoter"!

    Hes pretty much stuck at this point. Hes not going to fight and make 5Million with Berto and hed get killed for that win or lose.

    JMM is the best option for him at least it makes some good money and however you feel about this fight, it'll bring closure.

    Mosley is a garbage fight after seing how shot he was in the Floyd and Mora fights.

    Floyd really killed the fight we wanted to see.

    Funny how fans appreciate the business of boxing when it comes to Pac. But, Floyd is just ducking or is a coward, when he has, in the past, made, what he thought to be, the better business decision. :think

    you all should realize that at this point of his career, hes pretty much fighting Big Named Fighters that could sell / earn him the most money

    Mayweather
    Mosley
    Marquez

    but im pretty sure he wouldve fought all 3 of this fighters before he retires

    rather than blame Pac for luck of a challenge, why not aim your gun at guys around his weight class for not stepping up. those green prospects should cancel each other out rather than seek Pac without even proving anything. same goes for JMM, he should prove himself at JWW and WW before he seeks the top guy of the division.

    Mosley won't be facing Mayweather, It will be against Manny.
    You can't even compare their styles one bit. (except in speed)

    Shane will have a great chance Vs. Pacquiao.
    Just remember the "Ropes" are Pac's enemy.

    Disregard the Mora fight, Sergio didn't want to fight.
    (Something you never have to worry about in a Pac fight)

    If anything all Shane has left is a Brawler style anyway, You say it plays into Pac's hands I say good, Knock Mosley out then. (it's never been done before)

    Why should JMM be held to different standards than Mosley, Clottey, Margarito, Berto etc.

    The excuses are running thin!

    Straight from Arum's mouth: They're no longer fighting to see who the best is. They're in the check cashing business. (Sound familiar anyone???)
    They don't care what BOXING fans, or BOXING experts think or say. They're going for fights that will do THE MOST PPV buys... period. Which means they will always go with the NAME that CASUAL BOXING FANS will recognize... Casual fans wouldn't know who Berto, Marquez, or Martinez are. This is why Mosley is who they will pick.
    This isn't the NFL, MLB, or NBA. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with finding out who the best fighter is. It's not a tournament. It's nothing more than sports entertainment at this point. Staging events which have the highest probability of generating PPV revenue. PERIOD, PERIOD, PERIOD!

    May run's his own show tho...
    Arum has way too much control, Why does everyone think both Hoya & Mayweather left him?
