Fucking obviously Top Rank don't wanna see Pac fight Mayweather

[Sccit]

at this point, who gives a shit? boxing is so fixed nowadays, that records don't even matter.. i guess it's always been like this, but it seems 2 be getting more obvious.

I get that Arum thinks Pac is unlikely to beat Floyd. But this is no essential argument to not have the fight... Pac already has quite a few losses and draws, his record won't be ruined by a loss to the greatest. Also, there's MUCH MUCH more money to be made in a Vegas fight against a polarizing American superstar than there is to be made against some 38-year-old Mexican with 5 losses. It makes no sense to avoid the fight, even if everybody at TopRank assumes that Pac can't win it.

Top Rank wanted to squeeze as much money as they possibly can out of Pacquiao before they send him out to face Floyd.  Both Mosley and Marquez had to leave their promotion in order to join Top Rank to fight Pacquiao.  Trust me, if Mayweather would have beaten Pac a year or maybe even two back, Pacquiao wouldn't have been the same mega star that he is today. 


This topic was made before Bob Arum and Top Rank made this announcement that they rather seek a 4th fight with Marquez before Floyd, because Floyd will still be there after their fourth fight.  Shit, I bet if Marquez isn't down they will still go for Bradley first before Mayweather.  It's what I've been saying all along on these boards, but nobody believed me. 


Better fight for Floyd at this point are Martinez at 154/160, Canelo at 160, or Khan at 147. Top Rank should just stop worrying about a potential loss and get it on with Floyd.

It's quite criminal to force niggas to sign with the promotion of the champion to get a fight just so that TopRank can milk 2 boxers within the very same fight.  
Why are some superstars such puppets though? If I was one of the most famous athletes in the world, I wouldn't give a shit about what some old man says. Fuck outta here with that "ask my promoter" shit.

Can Floyd still smash niggas faces in at 160? Seems a bit much to me. He looks better at 147 than he does at 154 IMO. A defense first point win against a slower, bigger opponent is not that good looking to begin with. Fighting a bigger opponent only looks great when you are active and able to dominate him, like Pacman did with sorry ass Margarito.

Well in the cases with Marquez, he's not a big time draw.  So 2 million is good for him.  His only PPV bouts has been with Pacquiao, Diaz II, and Mayweather.  He left Golden Boy, because Top Rank wouldn't co promote the fight with Golden Boy.  Same thing with Mosley. 


I think Floyd has the potential to look impressive at 160 against Martinez and Canelo.  But really, I guess since it's late in his career already he will only go up to 154.  Canelo can make this weight still, and that's where Martinez is comfortable.

Lol i would love to see him fight Martinez just to see this forum shit themselves when he kicks his ass.

I'm a huge Martinez fan, that would be awesome either way for me.  Martinez is the one with the most legit shot to beat Mayweather.  I'd be happy for either fighter because a victory over the other would really cement their legacy.
