    Initial reaction aside Manny was smart to end his career with TR, the guy has 35 going on 36 and has had over 60 fights if your a Pac fan why would you want to see him go out like Roy Jones. There is nobody on TR roster that's a threat to Pac on paper meanwhile its a slew of fighters who don't give a damn about Pac that would try to use him as cannon fodder at GB. If your a Pac fan why would you want that to see an ATG relegated to a stepping stone for the up and comers. Now I'm not say its definite these guys beat Pac but if a feather fisted Bradley can lift Pac off his feet guys like Thurman, Porter an so on could really damage him. Whether you like the decision or not Pacquiao has a right to end his career on his feet with some easy pay days just sucks for the fans though.

    I'm going to strongly disagree. I'm pretty confident Oscar, Cotto, Chavez Jr. , Mikey Garcia, Floyd would probably agree with me too.

    In Mannys case, he is a draw on his own and could EASILY do what Cotto did as a free agent.

    pac looks to cherry pick pedjr not a bunch of clowns like boner and concaine.

    gbp stable is a levle or 2 below bradley, hardly a legacy adding feat for pac.

    is all money fights there for pac which wont eclipse a jmm fight, legacy and money wise.

    arum and oscar are talking business again we will find out soon.

    pretty sure "madona is tailor made for pac waaaaaaaaa" again.:hi:

    If Manny was on his own the onus would be on him right now he takes no blame under the guise that he just does what his promoter wants, so TR can pick unranked recently KO'd guys without Pac looking bad. If Manny was on his own there would be more of an expectation to choose harder fights

    You don't find it even slightly suspicious that Mikey and Chavez want to bolt from Bob? What you are describing (to me anyway) is a horrendous cherry pick strategy which would hurt his legacy. He would take blame whether it was under Bob or not.

    IMO, not exploring the chance to call Mayweather on his bs (if he and Bob believe that) points the finger back at Pac and makes him look bad.

    they already did.

    bob "ill let you negotiate on your own"
    pac "k tahnks bob, ill go look for pedjr in the u.s."
    pedjr "im off to africa" lmfao.

    id bolt too if i m being asked to fight ggg.

    mikey is groomed to fight pac. after pac mauled his stablemate and then bradley, im not surprised mikey is taking a safe approach.

    Pacquiao is not Maidana or Alvarez he's a bigger star clearly so if Alvarez can make 12 mil fighting May, Pac would get his 20 regardless. Pac-JMM V is not a legacy fight if they fight and Pac wins he just beat a 40 yr old that would lose to any top 5/10 WW today not named Pac. Looking at what actually happens Pac fights guys coming off losses and multiple bad performances Mayweather doesn't fit that mold

    Bradley is rated for what he did at JWW at Welter Thurman, Maidana, Porter, Khan and more all give him hell **** Bradley ducked Khan to avoid an L earlier in his career

    Strongly disagree. If that's the case he should get out the sport. Pac looking for easy paydays is okay, but Floyd no going up to fight GGG is a duck. If you can't compete at the highest level, get out the sport.

    Just being hypothetical what would look worse for Pac resigning with TR and fighting/winning vs Marquez V, Provodnikov, Bradley III, M.Garcia, & Alvarado or signing with GBP and fighting Mayweather, Thurman, Porter, Khan, D.Garcia, and only beating Khan

    I can't say who Pac will win and lose to so it is hard to answer that. What if Pac gets KTFO again in 6 or less by JMM? It's game over anyway.

    Floyd is a waste of time and space. Hes a massive troll whos got his fans by the balls. Pac doesnt need floyd. His legacy is complete. Floyd is the one who needs pac since he has avoided every threat practically his whole career.
