    as much as Floyd deserves criticism for the pac fight not happening when it should have, pac was in a great position leading up to re-signing to mediate a fight with Floyd as a condition of further fights leading into that new contract with top rank...

    The problem is, Manny is no where near as business smart as Mayweather, Cotto, or Chavez.
    He is totally dependent on Arum and his manager to control every aspect of his business, and this is why he is $68M in debt.
    Sometimes I wonder if Manny can even read or count over 12. :yep

    You don't find it even slightly suspicious that fighters have been signing with Arum for over 40 years?

    Arum made Cotto a three division titlist without ever having to fight a title holder and made Margarito the #1 WW without him ever having to fight a top WW. Arum is going to protect Pac to end his career while Pacquiao has a right to do that we can be real about it. I don't even think the promo stuff matters listen to them talk Marquez may fight GBP but Pac's only options are TR.

    but he obliterated them so what is your point ? it's not like he was a no name when he got the chance to the title fights

    The guy was asking about people signing to TR the point was that Arum is a good promoter had people calling Bradley P4P #2 based off struggling and in a lot of opinions losing to Pacquiao, Provodnikov, & Marquez
