Arum thinks Pacquiao-Mosley will make more money than bouts against Marquez or Berto
December 14th, 2010
By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum seems convinced that the right opponent for Manny Pacquiao’s next fight is 39-year-old Shane Mosley rather than someone fighting at a higher level like Juan Manuel Marquez or Andre Berto.
It wouldn’t be so bad if Mosley was looking good in winning his fights, but he’s looked terrible in his last two bouts, losing badly to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May and getting a gift 12 round draw against the light hitting Sergio Mora. However, Pacquiao would have a great chance of beating Mosley without any problems.
You can’t say the same thing if Pacquiao were to be matched against Marquez or Berto. Those would be opponents that would have a decent chance of beating Pacquiao. As such, It’s looking like Arum is going to match Pacquiao in another mismatch. Pacquiao has the final choice in which he faces next, but he’s generally deferred to Arum when choosing his opponents. If Arum wants Mosley, and it appears he does, that’s who Pacquiao will likely face.
One change that could occur is the date of the fight. Instead of April 16th, the fight might take place in May in order to make more money for the fight, according to inquirer.net.
Mosley might make more money but he won’t likely be competitive against Pacquiao and it will be another dull mismatch. For the casual boxing fan, who Arum seems to be aiming this fight at, it’s not going to be a bout they will enjoy unless they like to watch mismatches.
However, it could warp the perception of Pacquiao in these fans’ eyes, making them think that Pacquiao is better than he actually is. Since the casual boxing fan won’t have a clue about how badly deteriorated Mosley is nowadays, they may think that Pacquiao is beating a prime Mosley instead of a fighter at the very end of his career. For this reason, I see this as a terrible idea for a fight.
It will give casual fans a bad product that they probably won’t enjoy because it won’t be interesting to watch. Mosley’s fight against Mayweather earlier this year was a big disappointment in terms of it being an interesting fight to watch. It was interesting for two rounds and then hopelessly one-sided to the point where it was painful to watch because of how one-sided it was.
If Arum is going to pick out Mosley as Pacquiao’s opponent, he should do boxing fans a big favor and discount the fight by 95% to sell it for $4.99 instead of $55 or whatever price that he’ll be selling it for. I’m being generous here. I don’t see Mosley-Pacquiao as even being a pay-per-view fight at this point in Mosley’s career. It’s more like a fight where Pacquiao is getting anold guy with a name to beat up on. It’s like a trick fight. I wonder if this fight will be held at one of Pacquiao’s catch weight handicaps?

when mayweather fought mosley no one questioned why he picked the 38 years old mosley?
but when arum wants mosley as next opponent for the king of boxing this idiot williams started to talk about the age.
losing badly to mayweather????when that illusion happened??
what ever you will say chris…manny is the king!
Sounds like an issue for the bankers.
When Mayweather fought Mosley it was viewed as good fight because, Mosley was the number 3 rated P4P boxer, the welterweight champion of the world, had already beaten Margarita who had already beaten Cotto, and only lost a very close decision to Cotto. All reasons that the Mayweather/Mosely fight made sense. Now, lets look at a possible Pacquiao/Mosley fight. Mosely lost to Mayweather and fought to a draw with Mora…other than Mosley’s popularity, does this fight make any sense. The answere no and neither does any of Pacquiao’s last four fights make any sense. When is the last time he has fought a top rated fighter in his own weight class? Just like Frankenstein, Pacquiao is champion that was created by fighting these senseless fights.
Why all of a sudden is Mosely the best option, when years ago Manny did everything to avoid him. Oh, I forgot, Manny Pacquiao fights leftovers. Who was the last legitimate champion that Manny has beaten? And don’t give me that fake WBO title that he got from Cotto because Cotto had already lost to Margarita and afterwards beat some some average unknown fighter for the WBO title. Most likly Cotto’s fight for that WBO title was all orchestrated by Arum so that Pacquiao could evantually go after another paper championship.
“For me, I’d advice Marquez against fighting Pacquiao at 147 pounds. We want that third fight but Marquez should not be fighting at welterweight. …” – Nacho Beristain.
“Dinamitita” is toooo small. Sugared Shane Mosley is just the right weight in the absence of Floyd jr. who’s undisposed at the moment.
Pachaters wont stop crying till Manny is 35yrs old, by that time Manny will retire, still a lot of tears to drop, drain your eyes Haters!!!!
whoever manny fights, he will never get the credits from pac haters…
Pacquiao is NOT a legend. He is a fake. He is a master manipulater. He only fights guys that dont look good any more. He has never ,as of late, faced any top 5 guy.
Marquez has a whole nation backing him up! Washed up Mosley does not and neither does Berto! But Mosley was selected since he’s past his prime and desprete to fight anyone for a big pay day he will accept any terms of the fight! We all wish Pac would face Mayweather but we all know Pac cant dictate Mayweather the terms of the fight and thats why it wont happen! Mayweather wants a fair fight and Pac wants a handycap matchup and because of that they wont agree to terms! Pac wont face Marquez anytime soon until he shows signs of aging or slowing down since he knows Marquez has his number. Pac knows he was really lucky the judges were on his side (or curupt) and gave him an extremly controversial split decision victory on there rematch!
Arum and his gang don’t want Manny to defend the ‘title’ he just won. Remember? He’s junior middleweight champion now. Now Manny is too small to fight Sergio. He just wanted to fight BumCheato to add another paper title to his shelf….what title did he and Margs fight for anyway?
I say neither of them are a competitive fight for PAC!
Only Floydie is the most competitive fight out there for PAC.
Marquez = although this guy has proven that he is the most competitive fighter out there, that only happens at lightweight. He hasn’t prove anything on welterweights and does not deserve a fight with PAC at this weight class.
Berto = true welterweight and great fighter. But this guy hasn’t much written on his resume. His previous fight opponents are far from the likes of cotto, hatton, margarito, diaz, clottey or mosley!
Mosley = out of his prime and has totally showed less competitiveness on his last two fights.
So whoever will PAC fight other than Floyd at welterweight will be a more likely called a “mismatch”.
Well, if these 3 are the only fighters left for PAC as of this time, line them up and don’t argue who’s gonna be first or last. In the end, no boxer or promoter wants make a match without considering the “MONEY” factor. “Boxing is Business”, every sport is.
This sucks! Why should fans have to watch them fight just because of the money. Let Paquio fight some one we want to see him fight.
I am a Paquio fan and would rather see him fight a bigger Sergio Martinez and maybe lose, than to fight an old Mosley and win.
Bob Arum is the worst promoter out there. Even DON KING did better!!
AT least DON KING promoted fights people wanted to see.
BOB ARUM AND ANOTHER CIRCUS SHOW !!! NOW I KNOW IT’S JUST ANTHER MONEY FIGHT LIKE OSCAR DE LA HOYA FIGHT. I SAY THIS AS A AMUTURE BOXER AND BOXING FAN. IT WAS 2 YEARS A GO WHEN MOSLEY WANTED A FIGHT. BUT FOUGHT THE BEATEN COTTO. NOW THAT SHANE MOSLEY WAS BEATEN BY MAYWEATHER AND HAD A BAD SHOWING NEXT FIGHT ALSO TURNING 40 YEARS NOW TEAM PACQUIAO WANT THE FIGHT. I LIKE PACQUIAO AS A FIGHTER IT’S SAD ABOUT THE FIGHTS THEY CHOSE. BECAUSE PACQUIAO’S SKILL IS AT IT’S BEST NOW. I SAY FIGHT ANDRE BERTO TO UNIFY THE TITLE AT WELTERWEIGHT AND BE THE FIRST AISAN TO UNIFY THE TITLES. BUT I GUESS MONEY FIRST THAN PRIDE.
I hate you so much Chris Williams
IT SEEMS I HAVE HEARD THIS SAME TUNE BEFORE THAT PACMAN VS MOSLEY TO BE $5 PPV, THIS IS WHAT YOU WROTE WHEN PACMAN FOUGHT MARGARITO. MOSLEY IS STILL A VERY DANGEROUS OPPONENT AND COULD KO MANNY. MANNY HAS TO GO THRU THE LINE UP OF OPPONENTS LIKE MOSLEY, MARQUEZ, BERTO, BRADLEY, MARTINEZ & LASTLY REMATCH WITH COTTO EVERY 6 MONTHS. THIS IS 3 YEARS OF MORE FIGHTING UNTIL FINALLY PACQUIAO WILL WAVE HIS HANDS TO HIS FANS AND VANISH INTO OBLIVION FOREVER. BY THE WAY PACMAN VS MARGARITO COULD BE A FIGHT OF THE YEAR!.
@ringleader…di ka pinoy..isa kang tae! pacman already sealed his legacy.
bunch of losers…all they want that pacman should fight a half-breed african-american-mexican fighter
WOW!!! For the first time, Christina is right!!! Never mind all the mistakes he made predicting all those fights, how he was such a coward in accepting he was wrong almost all of the times, he actually got this one right. I was afraid that when Mosley fought Mora, Mosley was going to get chosen as the next Pac opponent because Mosley is totally shot. But I thought Arum would have better sense in him by insulting fans with a farce of a fight.
I am a Filipino, and I would like Manny to start building his legacy. Fighting with Mosley will set him back so much that people like Christina Williams over here will have a field day over this; and she will be CORRECT.
Pacquiao v Martinez at 154 lbs 2 hours before the fight!!!
Let’s be clear on something… Marquez, at Welterweight, has zero chance of beating Pacquiao. The only reason to take the fight would be to prove to the naysayers who the better of the two fighters are.
Marquez is in absolutely no position to have the P4P champion of the world, Welterweight belt holder, and fighter of the decade to come down to a weight class he left behind after being drained for several fights in a row.
I’m not saying Mosley is a fight I love for Manny, just like Margarito wasn’t. But if we’re putting the potential candidates for Manny in order, it would go like this:
1. Mayweather
2. Berto
3. Mosley
4. Marquez
5. Jan Zaveck
With Berto and Mosley, those are both WW belt holders. Zaveck could be a tune up fight to unify the division. Marquez is just a grudge match Manny wins easily, and the Mayweather bout could be his swan song and even lead to a rematch, win or lose.
…ryan
Maybe not vs. Marquez, but vs. Berto definitely. Berto can’t draw flies. No one wants to see that guy fight… boring! Mosley will be a boring fight also, can’t see it being any other way. But if the money is great, why not. Always great to see Pacman in action.
You won’t enjoy watching Pacquiao-Mosley so don’t watch,we will!
lol team pac girl tisk tisk tisk this is why pac girl dont make any money i been telling people that he was gonna fight sugar shane pac girl fight everybody that he can beat stop duckin the real fighters the champ,marquez,martinez
He’s probably awaiting trial like 99% of the people following him understand. Why would he be focusing on boxing at all with 30+ years of his life hangs in the balance?
And have no respect for the BOXER Mayweather Jr? That makes absolutely zero sense TKO. Having no respect for the person that is Mayweather Jr is fine, but to have no respect for the boxer is just bias and ignorant. The man is quite possibly the best BOXER who ever lived. When and if he fights Pacquiao he can prove or disprove this theory of his.
In Vegas, Pacquiao would be the underdog, for good reason.
@ chris williams
if a pac vs marquez fight is more competitive than pac vs mosley, are you saying marquez is better than mosley? get a life!!!
So you think Shane Mosley was already a shot fighter when he fought Mayweather Jr. at the age of 39 years old earlier this year? You are definitely an “IDIOT” Chris Williams. Chris Williams is a Mayweather Jr nuthugger givin that wife beater, thief, and ducker more credit than he should. I have no respect for a boxer like Mayweather Jr. that beats his wife and and threatens his children. Chris Williams however endorses these abusive type of behaviors by favoring the biggest ducker in boxing Floyd Mayweather Jr.
ARUM LEFT OUT THE PART WHERE HE ALSO THINKS THIS IS THE EASIEST FIGHT FOR MANNY, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, AND PAC IS GREAT AGAIN FOR PICKING ON THE ELDERLY
EDGE,
HE IS PROBABLY WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND RIGHT NOW.
yuhoo floydie where are you..
MAKENA,
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? MAYWEATHER IS THE MOST TALENTED FIGHTER OUT THERE!
MOSELY IS WASHED UP. ARUM IS JUST PICKING EASY OPPONENTS FOR PACQUIAO.
PACQUIAO FANS SAYs NO TO MOSLEY VS PACQUIAO. BEcause fans think arum use the talent of pacquiao to make big money..
and boxing fans would not like to happen this match!!!
i think pacquiao wants berto and martinez but arum is greedy
Arum is probably right that Mosley vs Pacquaio would make more money in PPV. But it is still a terrible match. Never let money get in the way of a bad match though!
I don’t think I could go out of my way to watch that one and I love to watch Pacquaio.
MARQUEZ AND PACQUIAO HAVE TO FIGHT AGAIN!
@Mannyfresh,
Yeh right, Floydie really wanted PACMAN on the first nego and PACMAN backed out. A truly Floyd hugger till the end and willing to twist events for his hero.
YEH, FLOYDIE REALLY WANTED TO FIGHT PACMAN
HE HE HE HE HE HE NICE ONE.
WHERE IS FLOYDIE NOW?????????????
Hey Pac thought you box for the fans not the money don’t nobody want u to fight Mosley bout whatever
All about the same money draws.we pay to see Pac.
If and when Marquez fights and gets damaged,and older, then Arum will set up trilogy.
@lou
So what if Mexicans doesn’t buy the PPV. How many Mexicans will buy PPV than Americans anytway? They’re more Americans could afford to buy PPV than Mexicans. Mexicans will go to the sportsbar to watch the fight. But more Amercans will buy PPV and watch it at home.
@ Uncle Tom,
You do realize that after the JMM fight with Mayweather, Mayweather’s next bout was against “Oldie Mosley” right?
Only reason he fought Mosley was because Pacquiao backed out of the fight with Mayweather. He wanted Pacquiao, not Mosley.
that’d be awesome if mosley catches pacquiao wit the same shot he caught money may with. pacquiao would be dropped. but other than that puncher’s chance, he’s got no shot.
I’m not so sure why the supposed boxing experts there are on this site don’t understand that Mayweather is a counter puncher. This means, the more active Pacman is, the more opritunity Mayweather has. What the Pacman fans aren’t taking into consideration is that when a fighter gets tagged repeatedly with a counter shot when they throw a certain punch, they become reluctant to throw that punch anymore. I’m not saying that Manny is not uber special and very, very skilled/talented. I’m simply saying that the Mayweather fight is all wrong for Pacquiao and I’m not the only one who knows this. Ask Freddy Roach. Before the last failed negotiations, Freddy was quoted as saying that Pac needed another fight or two before he was ready for a fight with Floyd. Floyd stated clearly on HBO after the Mosley fight that if the Pacquiao camp agreed to a random drug test the fight would be on but we have yet to see that agreement met. There’s a reason for it and it’s not that Manny is afraid of anything about giving blood.
why in a hell they will choose marquez? first, marquez is the one chasing manny but he is demanding manny to come down on 140lbs. second, if he really want this fight why he asked 5 million dollar except PPV buys? huh? he asked more than double he had from floyds fight in which he lose.. is marquez alright?
marquez more popular than margarito? lol marquez and floyd did 1m PPV buys and 10,000 attendance compare to manny/marg 1.15m PPV and 45,000 attendace plus margarito came from suspension..
The PACMAN was accused of not fighting a real African American by B Hop. Oldie Mosley fits the bill perfectly so WTF are the PAC haters complaining now?
moseley has nothing to offer to pacuiaos legacy except to entice or draw mayweather to fight the pacman. however, moseleys style may give pacquaio a hard time in early stage of the bout but in the later rounds he wont be able to keep up with the younger fighter and eventually ran out of gas.
as for marquez, well, the kid has a nice number of followers especially now that he manage to convinced every one of his audience that he beat pacquiao twice. hmmm. never the less i say it does have potential in making good ppv numbers.
i say if arum wants mad mad money, going after a 9th belt is it. since sergio martinez is willing to drop down to minimum limit to meet the pacman i hope freddie roach and manny will say why not. i say this bout will draw more ppv numbers than any of those guys previouly mentioned. go pacqiao!!!
Its funny how Floydie didn’t want to go near Oldie Mosley more than three years ago and rather go into retirement. But it was only through Divine Intervention that Floydie was FORCED into fighting Oldie Mosley.
Oldie Mosley was avoided by Floydie like a plague even when Oldie Mosley challenged Floydie right after his fight with a slower and bloated JMM.
I love Shane Mosley but think he should retire. His last 4 fights were Mayorga, Margarito, Mayweather and Mora i think. It was only the Margarito fight he looked good in. Although he won Mayorga in the dying moments, he was terrible in that fight. Take away the Mararito fight, after Antonio got caught with the dodgy wraps (something that must have had an affect on him that night) Shane has been a shadow of his former self. So why fight him? Berto is like a young Mosley, Why not fight him? Its not like Mosley has ever been a massive ticket seller anyway.
I am a Manny fan but definetly think it should Be Berto or Marquez next if, for whar ever reason, Mayweather is’nt interested.
Mosley is no draw, Berto is no draw even though Marquez will lose Mexicans will buy the bout. Mexicans will not buy a Mosley or a Berto fight.
Fans are finally tired of the matchup games Top Rank and Freddie Roach have been getting away with. Yeah Shane was old and washed up on May 2, 2010; but now he’s a young lion when potentially being matched against *Pacquiao?? Lol! One big problem though…Shane Mosely can still KO *Pacquiao. If this fight happens people will truly learn what “styles make fights” means! *Pacquiao could be perfect for Shane; not alot of head movement, will take 1 to land 1, doesn’t fight well on the inside where Shane is a killer…just be careful what you wish for Bobby boy.
Funny how last time around when Mosley practically begged for this fight, while coming off the Marg win, he was “too good” and not a PPV draw. Bob Arum is a f**ken hypocrite. Pac should tell him he wants the fight the people want to see and I know him vs Marquez is better than him vs. Mosley. Hey but Mosley fits the pattern of defeated fighters who have look awful recently.
@SkillsWinFights and Mr Williams,
Where is your idol Mayweather? A fight with Pacquiao is one that everyone wants to see, not martinez, not mosely and not berto. You idol needs to grow some balls to fight the Filipino midget. You idol Mayweather claims that he is the greatest boxer of all times even great than the great Ali. The only way to validate this is to fight Pacquiao. No amount of writing or ranting can prove that. You idol Mayweather needs to get into the ring with Pacquiao instead of beating the mother of his kids and poking the face of the security guard. Pacquiao is just waiting for him to man up. Who knows you might be able to convince him.
I am not a hater I an envious of Manny P…. I wish I could win all these paper joke titles , make millions all while avoiding the top fighters!
Tiger you sound like the ultimate Pacquiao cheerleader. Or is it pactard! You guys keep talking about Mayweather like it is an obsession. This story aint about Mayweather. The only reason these guys weight drain themselves and fight Pac 10 years past their prime is to get PAID!
bring on the klitsco bros….
pakman will fight them….
THE BOSS, TOPFIGHTER notice how you are talking among yourselves,i would choose to ignore you but i cant as your comments are BOL*OCKS.
funny article
Pacman will take Mosley out within 3 round something FM could not do.
the only ww fights fm will have will all be mp left overs ,
mp cleaned out the ww division .fm fought one sm .
@ mosley ,who are the top contenders ? 154 and 160 mp is not going to fight at that weight so forget about that .so who are the top contenders at ww.
I love the sport of boxing..and Manny is at the top right now, so it’s not surprising that many people will try to bring him down. I’ve heard it all, Manny fights wash up fighters, Manny is on PED, Manny doesn’t fight Black American fighters, blah, blah blah blah. Manny does what he needs to do, and he delivers. Despite all the money and fame, he remains humble and a public servant. Nobody’s perfect, he’s got flaws too, who doesn’t? All you Pac Haters, I’ll beat you to the punch.. YES, I’m a big Manny Fan and proud of it..
THE BOSS,
I AGREE WITH YOU TOO!
@The Boss, I agree with you…
Pacquiao would then be forced to fight the top contenders. He has avoided every Top 5 ranked opponent the last 5 years. I don’t think this is Pacquiao’s fault, because Arum and Roach make choices for him.
Pacquiao had better hope he makes a good showing against Mosely. Sheould he struggle, when Floyd made it look easy, he is also DONE…DONE…DONE!!!
PACQUIAO…YOU BETTER NOT STRUGGLE WITH MOSELY! HEAVEN FORBID YOU LOSE!!!
MANNY IS A JOKE A PAPER CHAMP
NOBODY WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THEN MAYWEATHER LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM AND HE HOLDSTHE BEST NUMBERS ALL AROUND SO DONT COMPARE MANNY TO MAYWEATHER OR ANY FIGHT
@ TOPFIGHTER YOU ARE 100 PERCENT RIGHT IF MANNY LOSES HE IS DONE
Who cares? No matter who Pacquiao fights outside of Mayweather is going to make the same amount of money.
Mosley – Easy win for Pacquiao
Berto – The best fight out there for Pacquiao
Marquez – I actually think this fight would make the most money.
Like I’ve said before…MAYWEATHER was way ahead of the curve when he seen his worth and what he could demand money wise. When FLOYD talked money he was crucified but as we can see TOP RANK has been doing it for forever. It’s not always about the biggest challenge, it’s about revenue!! Sad thing is it seems like the PAC fans that slam FLOYD for doing something then praise TEAM PAC and TOP RANK for doing the same thing WITH higher more strenuous demands!!
All I’m saying is if MOSELY was OLD AS DIRTY when FLOYD beat him, he can’t become a young lion when PAC fights him a year or so later and make it seem like it’s an unbelievable win IF PAC wins…..
ARUM IS FULL OF SH*T! HE IS JUST PICKING EASY OPPONENTS FOR PACQUIAO, BECAUSE HE IS AFFRAID OF HIS PRICE FIGHTER GETTING BEAT!!
If Mosely seems to recapture that which is his achilles heel, (Stamina) he will upset the world. I am a Floyd Mayweather Fan, not a Shane Mosely fan, but I am a fan of the sport. I respect those that put in the time and hard work. Mosely has done that. Mosely has faced nothing but BIGGER, STRONGER, CHAMPIONS AND TOP CONTENDERS HIS ENTIRE CAREER.
Pacquiao has been spoon fed guppies. I think this choice will be taken for granted by the Arum team, and will blow up like a stick of dynamite in their face!!!
You Super Mexicutioner is Filipino just by reading his lame posts. Doesnt even want to hear the truth about his favorite Pilipino. To them he is perfect but to the hardcore boxing fans……we all know the truth. We are such fans of the sport that we have watched each and every one of Pacqiuaos fights; not because we love him but because we love the sport and he is a good boxer. This is why we know the truth about Pacqiuao we have seen him in there with tough oponents and we have seen him with easy oponents. Unfortunantly the last oponents have been cherry picked.
Now that I really look at Arum and Team Pacquaio, I think Roach is the one that is perfectly matching pacquaio against guys to make him look good. I think Arum doesn’t really focus on that aspect of making fights, he just cares about making the most money win or lose. But roach as a trainer knows what styles match up perfect against manny. The reason I say this is because, Roach is the one saying he doesn’t want to fight mosley and he’d rather fight marquez. Although it sounds like the better fight based on who has looked better in there recent bouts, roach knows style wise even at this age mosley is the bigger threat. I think arum doesn’t care who pacquaio fights as long as he can make money. But roach knows pacquaio will get exposed.
I am a fan of boxing, rather than that of just one fighter, for me on his recent form would beat any fighter who could possibly challenge him, I also like Mayweather but i honestly cant see how he would beat pac, He hates fighters who are fast, strong and have alot of heart! his defence is brilliant but he will get backed up and roped into corners all night long, pac throws plenty of punches in bunches, if he Mayweather dodges one.. he will hit him with the other 6 he threw.
The proposed fight with Mosley is a waste of time, He’s dangerous because he can punch, but other than that, Pacquaio will go up and down him like a paint brush.. like wise with Marquez.. Berto would be a better fight but i cant see what tools he has to beat Pacquaio?!
The only fight to prove anything against is.. Mayweather!.. i believe his main problem is that he’s already beaten in his head (mentally) he knows he MIGHT/WILL not win.. just as Prince Naz did asainst Barerra!
But dont hold you breath.. because it might never happen!
I wish pac would fight boxers coming off a good fight, not the same repetetive pattern of fighting washed-up losers or senior citizens………let the farse continue
It’s funny how they wouldn’t go near Mosley a year ago but now he’s almost 40, he looked awful against Mora and Mayweather destroyed him they suddenly want to fight Shane.
In the words of the Pacquiao camp “Unless your old, drained or showing signs of decline then were not going to fight you.”
Mayweather and Martinez would destroy Pacquiao and this is exactly why fights with them two haven’t happened.
Mayweather has been doing this for years and was called a cherry picker… Y do you think her left bob arum but 5 mill to pac is like 25mil in the philipines so he doesn’t care
If he could some how get the one of the Klitchkos to lose a hundred pounds, I say phagiao has a chance.The fight with mosely will not happen.mosely is still to dangerous for phagiao,if mosely does not sell the fight.Marquez is also to dangerous for phag. Mayweather will be his next opponent.
Critics of Pacquiao only wish that he would face TP Contenders…Not Has beens, or beaten, broken, fighters,
Pac’s critics will never be satisfied until he fights the Klitsco brothers. Why don’t you guys persuade your hero and champion Floyd to come out of hiding behind the false drug use allegations, grow some ballas and fight the so-called midget and take a beating like a man.
You know, pac gives his best during his fights so he gan give the boxing public their money’s worth. If I were Pac , with the remaining few fights he has left, I would just fight for solely my own benefit, that is mainly for pecuniary reasons. But he would not do that because he has what you critics can never comprehend – Filipino pride
Pac please fight berto very interesting fight hell you did fight clottey
you and your 5 dollar PPV’s @ss
Of course a fight will Mosely will bring in more money, but is it the best fight for Pacquiao. This is the reason that I cannot come to terms with calling Pacuqiao a great champion, because of all his fights are tailor made to his advantage. Years ago, that same Mosely was as populuar, but was younger and stronger, Arum and Roach avoided. Hmmmmmm
history repeating itself. Pac fighting shot fighters avoiding the best in any weight class and his casual fans thinks he is really beating good quality fighters. What a farce.
