    It absolutely is a great thing that Pacquiao's PPV sales dropped by half.
    That happening is a wakeup call to any promoter that bogus decisions will not be tolerated, and that the fan who normally would buy a PPV will stay away from it next time! :deal:deal:deal

    I didnt say that, I do however think the sport would be much better off if the Networks were NOT allowed to sign fighters to long term contracts as they influence the viewer in favor of the fighter they have signed, a perfect example of this is Marquez Pacquiao 3 and Pacquiao Bradley.

    Networks should NOT be allowed to have that much control they should have a bid on the fights to decide which network gets to broadcast.

    This way we dont have biased commentators misleading the viewer into seeing things that just are not happening

    The ones that matter Manny and Floyd so when they are fighting who ever you get biased commentary they should not be allowed to sign them as they influence the viewers with their bull****

    When a fight does the same ratings as Jersey Shore or Keeping Up With The Kardashians I will pay attention to this topic.

    Dear Phanekim,
    Kind Regards

    Bob Arum is not known for his honesty.
    This is a man who was quoted as saying "Yesterday, I was lying. Today, I am telling the truth".
    How on Earth can any man believe ANYTHING this man says after reading that quote?
    Next thing you know, people will be saying Don King never ripped off any of his fighters.
    Either way, Arum's a liar and many millions of Pacquiao fans are hoodwinked into thinking Arum's honest.

    Yours truly,
    Macehualli
