    I didnt read the link.... but theres plenty of people out there to fight still.


    Bradley/Alexander winner
    Khan/Maidana winner
    Paul Williams

    right there is a years worth of fights for after the margarito one, a whole year, after that there will be other options available.

    Theres no shortage of opponents for Pac.

    You should have read the link.. He was referring to the in-house match ups Top Rank is doing. After Margarito, he would have fought all Top Rank opponents.

    I liked that interview. I dunno why people are saying he's just looking for a few big paydays... he just fought Sergio Mora for Christ's sake.

    He's a fighter, and he wants to give fight fans good fights. I think he should retire too before he gets seriously injured, but I'll always respect him. I wouldn't mind watching him put some of the young up-and-comers in their place *cough*Berto/Bradley*cough* :D

    Ah.... thank you Rounder.

    In that sense I suppose he is right on. Though I could see Arum setting up a Cotto rematch in all honesty if Cotto wins his next fight in good fashion (im not saying i think its right, i could just see arum doing this)

    But regardless, yes Arum will be running out of Top Rank fighters very soon. He might be hoping for a trilogy with one of his boys and Pac....

    but isnt Pacs contract with Arum almost up? I thought it was going to expire in Nov or close to. Will be nice if Pac goes to GBP, doubtful however.

    if i were Pac i'd cut ties with Arum.....he's at the end of his career...although he has had good pay days judging from some facts he has been getting badly short changed seeing as how the guy leaves it all on the line when he fights....he is the only one who puts the asses in seats out the whole bunch yet he isnt getting what he is worth.

    I think its time for him to take control of his own shyt...these last couple fights for him.

    Pac could retire after this fight! Wait for ***** to get out of jail, by that time it will be look like the Jones Jr. vs. Hopkins rematch.

    Pac needs a promoter either way.

    He kind of reminds me of Roy Jones in the sense of once he got old he started running his mouth trying to get big payday fights.

    If pac were with Golden Boy he couldv been the most powerful man in the pinos. Arum is taking way to much takes more then half of what the feds take. Golden boy takes %5 and arum pass that expense to pac and still didnt pay golden boy.

    Mosley and Pac need to fight. War it be and pac will not win. But mosley will need to retire after that one point blank period, he didnt take not many devastating shots from floyd but he took many jarring stop you in your track punches that were landing in the same place. after a bout with opac at that age he needs to leave, and honestly shane deserves a fight with pac. After seeing mosley mayweather the fight was all wrong for shane. A great Defensive Boxer vs a Great offensive fighter the offensive fighter always looks like **** even if he wins.

    At this moment, Pac will hattonize Shane.

    Shane got balls though. He's not going to floyd over Pac.
