    This could be true but dont think for a minute Arum knew damn well Pac's chances were slim. styles make fights

    Both fighters in their prime are a handful for anyone.

    that just your opinion a lot of people see them fights differently. I actually have it 2 2 overall I thought Pac won the fist fight because of the 3 knock downs in the fist round. Marquez made that fight really close with the way he boxed after the first round. I had Pac just edging the 2nd fight. I had Marquez wining the 3rd fight an the 4th with the knock out. so just because you think Marquez won all the fights doesn't make it true.

    drug tests, after issuing demands about 10 million dollar per pound weight penalties!
    dates & gloves
    cut off dates
    cuts will not heal in time.

    These are just some off the 99 excuses that came from mannys camp remember?

    how come you never told us you are a very important part of paqs business team.. since you deal with floyds team i would love to hear all these "demands"

    the only demand the public knows about is ost and its true floyd really really doesnt want to help put a single dollar in arums pocket but as proved he will for this one fight..

    if you take all the mocking he dfoes to the media as literal then, you my friend are literally a phukin moron. he just talks crap to the media so he knows paq knows he is in complete control of what paa has todo and what he will get for doing said sh!t.

    he did try to make the fight without arum involved with the 40m offer, that is far and away more than he will ever get now. i dont even think he was under contract at that specific time only to sign a short contract immediately after..

    someone writer or reporter broke it down last week, and that 40m offer without arums 30% would had worke out to very close to a 50/50. it was better than a 60/40 and that was assuming it broke the odh fights record.. no gaurantee that happens now. its probable but not a sure thing. IF paq is capable of string some wins together and actually does it then it might be closer to a sure thing. not sure things in anything sport related..

    all we have is the facts, not some business associate of paq, sorry you dont count as someone who can tell us anything we dont know.

    all we know for sure are the facts

    in 09 paq turned down 50/50 - 14 day cutoff.
    it was made clear that was a ONE time offer from the p4p king..

    in 2011 he turned down arumless 40M offer which would had been like a 55/45 cut.

    in 2012 he turned down negotiations. wouldnt even negotiate for a may 5th 2012 fight that was ALL set up for him to be the opponent. the date an venue were set by floyd for floyd v paq. so again paq wouldnt play ball..

    now those are FACTS,
    what facts do you have backup your claims ? i would LOVE for you to come with facts.. or just come with something solid besides you claiming all these fake fictional demands..

    floyd did say last your paq SHOULD win some fights before thinking about a floyd fight. that is very reasonable. fight would be much bigger if paq could put some wins under his belt. maybe a win or 2 against RANKED opponents.. you try to pick on floyd fighter top fighters in hi division(s) yet paq fights non ranked opponents. not once for a comeback, he has won a title over a non ranked opponent..

    come with facts or something solid or STFU

    The fact is, Floyd will not fight Pacquiao as long as he's with Arum


    Floyd's latest excuse.

    Pac was winning years ago and still the fight did not happen.

    I think a prime Oscar beats him at any weight, but it'll be a tough fight.

    He'll have to rely on his superlative jab, height and reach advantages. I think his power is comparable to Pac's, so there would be tons of entertaining exchanges in the pocket.

    Great fight, but DLH's technical ability, height and reach advantages would probably be his key advantages.

    '07 de la Hoya was a solid 154lb'er - not the weight drained zombie Pacquiao fought a year later.

    The de la Hoya Floyd fought beats Pacquaio...

    You must have just started watching boxing yesterday.

    An old shopworn Eric Morales boxed circles around Pacquiao. Prime Morales would probably take Pacquiao's head off...

    Just ignore that idiot. His head is so far up Pacquiao's ass that you can see his face every time Pacquiao opens his mouth...

    Pacquiao takes apart fighters who rely on the left hook or jab.

    DLH was void of a threatening right hand, as well as his actual boxing skills are overrated in forums like this.

    A prime DLH competes but gets outmanuevered and outhustled by any welterweight version of Pacquiao.

    If that Eric Morales was so old an even older Morales give maybe Floyds next opponent Maidana all he could handle. then took Danny Garcia 12 rounds an got a rematch something Khan maybe Floyds next opponent as well was not able to do.

    your just a Pacquiao hater Morales was past prime when Pac beat him yes but they were still good wins. and the fist fight was also close.

    DLH's power is superior to Pacquiao's at 147 lbs. The problem would be timing Pacquiao's movement and herky jerk style. Most conventional stance fighters have a very hard time against elusive southpaws.
    The southpaw stance is a major reason for Pacquiao's sucess against fighters like MAB, DLH, Hatton, Cotto, etc......
