    Arum's just keeping it in Top Rank.

    If Pacquiao loses, well he lost at the expense of a Top Rank fighter who now has the distinction of beating Manny Pacquiao.

    That should help Clottey's appeal, if not largely, then at least somewhat.

    He just needs some boxing gloves on the bird. But the only thing Pac would be eating in a fight against Mayweather would be crow, and leather. One day the bobblehead will man up and fight Floyd, and when it happens, the collective sigh of disappointment will be like another typhoon to the Philippines.

    No shyt Floyd. Anyone with half a brain would realize that fighting Mosley, for 1/4th the money but equal the risk makes ZERO sense.

    Now he realizes he much he has FUKKED himself by weasling out of the Pacquiao fight. I think he thought he could make $40 million by fighting Mosley and now realizes that that fight wouldn't clear 1 million buys.

    I can see Arum having Pac going after Margarito then Mosley - all that Floyd avoided. They will then demand a 60-40 split in favor of Pac for the finale against Floyd.

    The examiner is a pacquiao nuthugger publication, almost as bad as the fox news conservative cheerleader propaganda "news" channel...

    I told you so. Floyd is the smartest boxer in history. He will not fight Mosley for 1/4 what he will get against Pac.


    :lol:

    What a joke. Yea, Floyd has a valid point in saying he gets less money and same risk for fighting Mosley, but who else is he going to fight? They'll come back to the negotiations after pac/clottey, fail again and pac will go after Margo. They'll negotiate again, fail and then pac will go after mosley and retire after.

    This will 100% seal Pac's legacy as the best boxer of this era, and it would be impossible for May to take that from Pac after he retires, given the fact he'd have fought anyone and everyone dangerous at welterweight.

    I'm not a *******, just expressing my opinion of what I think seems to be the most likely bouts to happen. Anyone else think the same?

    That's a little hard to do. His personality is not really enjoyable not to mention his "choice" of opponents are not what most fans want to see.

    Pacquiao
    Mosley
    Hatton
    DLH
    Judah
    Gatti
    Castillo
    Corrales

    Which one of these did you not want to see? Or are you talking about the Matthew Hatton rumor which was shot down shortly after it started? You know there's a rumor that Pac is a roid freak. What do you think of that rumor?

    but they will have to be top rank scrubs because every non top rank fighter is demanding blood tests, because every non pac fan realizes the accusations and evidence is adding up to an insurmountable point of guilt

    Yep I agree also. If this is true and Floyd doesn't want to risk the payday with Pac by fighting Mosely then it shows he's not sure he can beat Mosely or feels he will lose. Why would he wait for Pac to finish his fight with Clottey when they weren't able to agree terms previously. Pac can just refuse to fight Mayweather for the same reasons as before and carry on beating/fighting the best guys (Mosely etc) and retire the best. Mayweather can keep (hypothetically waiting/pussying out fighting the best) and retire having fought no one who is a threat that will add to his legacy for the last 6 years of his career and end up a low ATG and generally regarded coward.

    Sad but also funny.
