so manny signs with toprank ?

Great for boxing.

Terrible for the CongROIDSman.

 

Of course it's a stupid move for team Pac.
Lesser fighters have done self-promotion successfully so why can't he?

But then again as I've said in the other thread, there is probably something bigger going on the background that persuaded Pac and his pool of advisers to continue the co-promotion with Arum.
Maybe something to do with his tax problems.

Also as I've said as far as Manny's career is concerned, his best move right now is to go down to 140 and fight Garcia, Provo and/or Matthysse.
But Garcia and Lucas are with Golden boy and Provo is training under Roach.

 

pac is a full time congressman, reportedly being eyed for a senatorial slot in early 2016.

pac's promotional co. does business with arum's tr too.

and he is reportedly eyeing to be a part of a professional basketball expansion team this year.

this is outside of his showbiz /endorsement/ pastoral commitments.

pac has varied interests in life. boxing is a small part of his life now. sad but thatls life.

 

boxign is main focus when it's time to fight. even then, he is sorrounded by his political aides during training. he does bible studies during training as well.

i was glad the pastors had deviced a plan to hold the daily bible studies early in the morning instead of late at night. this forced pac to sleep early instead of staying late.


either way there is nothing you can do.

unless someone can say with certainty that pac-pedjr happens without re-signing with tr, then maybe.

but, pac leaving tr without assurance, he is going to get cornered by pedjr/gaymon/shittier/showtime. he would be lowballedl and he has no choice because he cant go back to tr/hbo again.

bradley also re-signed with tr. and just got paid 6m vs. pac.

who knows if arum offered pac slots on for his stable for years even after pac has retired from fighting.

we dont know.

 

yeah he has plenty of options. thats;s not the question.


will he have the time to get all these options scrutinized? that takes months.

the current setup is tr does all the leg works. at the end of the day pac is presented with a number of options and he will just pick one, with everything taken care already.

if he leaves tr, he will be forced to do it his own that not only will it work in the phils, it should also work in the u.s, which means he needs to put up with a license u.s. while he is in the phils doing his congress thing. that/s not gonna work.

if he leaves that to the other promotional company like gbp, then it's the same thing, he just replaces tr with another company that will do the same thing that tr does.

and the fighters under gbp aint gonna do any for his legacy. pac gets paid 20m minimum wage regardless.

the only thing that matters, really if we can get the pac-pedjr fight. without that assurance, it's pointless.


if pedjr/gaymon/shittier/showtime is serious, the y could have already offered pac a deal, similar to what showtime did.

obviously, it's all lip service. or maybe arums;s offer is better. we just dont know.

prolly because of tax implications lmao.

 

If Pac were to leave Arum, Void would make up another excuse. Showtime is not happy with Void's PPV numbers, but a Pac/Void fight would make record huge numbers, but Void allows his extreme fear to keep him from fighting Pac. Pac will knock Void out............

 

Regardless of just Mayweather which is the only thing people seem to be discussing, all the way around this would be good for boxing. Cotto makes way more now "self promoted" than he ever did before.

Why can't Pacquiao cut out the majority percentage of Top Rank? I don't see the benefits.

 

Why should Manny be forced to leave Top Rank??? Why is it down to Pacquiao to betray a friend and be disloyal? Why doenst Floyd and Schaefer man up and start negotiating wth Arum?

Arum is willing to negotiate, Floyd and Schaefer are not! its ridiculous how people are acting like its all down to Pacquiao which clearly isnt the case.
