I've got Bradley on points. Who do you got?

I also love how perception colors reality. 

Manny smiles in the ring at fighters and announcers = having fun.

Floyd smiles in the ring at fighters and announcers= What a cocky, arrogant, son of a bitch! Disgusting!

A fighter can dominate a fight, but not look that great. You can also extrapolate things from his performance and apply them to a potential match up with a vastly superior fighter.

Bradley is not Mayweather. Pac's movement and defense don't look to be up to level necessary to beat Floyd. Manny slowed down in the second half of the fight.

EDIT: LOLOLOL Try beating Timothy Bradley before you come at Floyd.

Please allow for your loyal subject Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather now. I understand all he will earn is $40 million. Sometimes you have to sacrifice in this life. In your promotion, you can't make any fights that matter, apparently (or at least any that anyone will pay for). I understand that Pacquiao is the last fighter you have that matters but, realistically, what legacy will he have if all he does is duck the best fighter of the era.

Given the current "product" you're putting out there...what other choice do you have?

I guess when you are that good you can watch a basketball game instead of preparing for your huge title fight.

Well, it's not like Manny Pacquiao is going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather any time soon (given the assured ass kicking he would be taking). This is a very, very good move by Arum from a pure promotional perspective.

If you're right, then Arum has corrupted the sport even more than I thought it already was...
