    Most fighters when they reach the level that Pacquiao has reached have a great opportunity to start their own promotions (Golden Boy/Mayweather promotions/Hatton/Hayemaker promotions etc etc).

    I was just wondering, seeing as its been stated that Arum takes a big chunk of Pacquiao's earnings, why Pacquiao hasn't started up his own promotions and started to bill up and coming fighters? Has he mentioned it before?

    Maybe his interest in politics kept him away from getting further involved in the sport.

    He launched MP Promotions around the time he joined Top Rank.

    pac by nature is a very loyal person. it's the same reason he has stayed with roach all this years, the same reason buboy is still with him, the same reason he still lives in the same location he grew up in. unless bob does some overly heinous deed on pac, pac will let him get away with it. the same way all the hanger ons and sharks that pool around pac get away with it.

    Some people have a certain mentality that prevent them from furthering themselves where they are content. Manny is a fighter and he has loyalty it seems with Arum....for whatever reason.. Just like the loyalty he has with Roach.

    As a fighter he wants to do what he does best....that's to prepare and fight whomever his team that he chooses to manage his career places in front of him. I think b/c of his nature.....he's very superstitious and a man of habit....if it's working he'll continue to do EXACTLY what he has been doing in order to continue getting results that he wants.

    It's been well documented that Manny doesn't like change all that much and when it's forced on him a lot of times he pushes back.

    Why the mention of Roach? Roach says a lot of crazy **** to the media, but he's good to have around for game plans.:think

    Pac is unloyal to his wife, in the process in unloyal to his kids, he signs with Top Rank after promising to first meet with GBP, he then signs with GBP while already being under contract with Top Rank, and now he is in politics!!

    Very loyal my ass.... *******s are like those kids without a father, who belive their father is a super hero fighting crime. :lol:

    Again....Pac isn't loyal to Arum, that is why he signed with GBP, and Top Rank had to spend thousands of dollars in court fees to settle the mess Pac created due to his unloyal ass.

    Pac isn't loyal to his family either.

    And Pac isn'yt loyal to Roach, he NEEDS roach. Pac treats Roach like ****.
