    Maybe Ariza brings something more to that site and they cannot disregard anything at this point. They are all about to become mega-millionaires.

    Manny is supersticious and probably doesnt want any changes made at this stage of his career.

    At the end of the day Manny likes Ariza. Plain and simple. Freddie, Arum and Koncz can say what they like about him he ain't goin nowhere. Some of the things he's said about Arum stopping the fight with Floyd, are blatantly obvious to everybody in the world. Pacquiao didn't hire visionquest for no reason either I'm sure he is aware what's goin on, but he's trapped in a contract, don't be surprised to see Pacquiao demand the floyd fight next regardless of what Bob wants.

    I'm sorry that makes no sense. Floyd being able to promote a media day workout better than Top Rank has little to do with anything. Manny's not a favorite of mine but you're clearly a hater for other reasons. Whores? :lol: I wonder if there was once a time when ATG fighters weren't lambasted so often and consistently on this forum or the internet in general.

    It's probably better for the team that Ariza works the corner. The sooner they make up, the better.

    Manny is one of my fav fighters. I just dnt like the team around him (barring Freddie). I say *****'s cos that's what Top Rank fighters are to Bob Arum. I think Bob knows that he is trolling fight fans. Bob has been conning Manny for years now in terms of monetary gains. In the past couple of years it seems like Bob and or the Matchmakers at Top Rank just pick and mix Manny's opponents from a hat. Most fight fans knew why Timmy was gonna sign with Bob; get a fight with a faded legend then fight Manny and possibly beat him. Team Pac stories change everyday. We would like to see Manny facing boxers that aren't under Top Rank; doesn't have to be Floyd... there are other names. I think Freddie just said that Ariza won't be in Manny's corner out of frustration; Konz, Freddie, Manny and Alex supposedley had a meeting and Freddie set the record straight; just do the job that your assigned to nothing more.. nothing less...

    No fighters want's something going wrong in his corner.
    The chemistry during a battle is very important, the last thing you want to do is come back to your corner and feel like something is off. It's called a 'team' for a reason and you can't just remove a member from the 'team' and have the same chemistry..especially when the removal creates tension..

    I don't blame Manny one bit for wanting Ariza with him.

    Ariza is the one most concerned with Manny's legacy and well being. He tells Mamny the truth, and I think Manny appreciates that about him. Just my opinion.
