And the thing is IMDAZED, you could argue he'd make more from an in-house fight if he had more superstars like he used to, but I don't see that being the case with Top Rank's paper thin roster of fighters.

The luster disappeared from Manny when he got knocked out by Marquez.
Maybe 5 years ago he didn't want to risk an embarrassing loss to Floyd. At this point he sees Floyd is slipping a bit and Manny is almost finished anyway.
This fight makes him tons of cash...the guy is a businessman, he knows when to cash out on someone..he wouldn't have a 50 year career as a successful promoter if he didn't know how to play the game folks.
This situation is also eerily similar to the following: When Mayweather was sentenced and it appeared he would not be able to fight Pacquiao, Arum said Pacquiao would go ahead take up that May date and fight. But as soon as Mayweather a few days later got a postponement of the commencement of his jail time to enable him fight on that day in May, Arum backed off that date and said Pacquiao's injury would take longer (making it about six months in total) to heal!
Mehn, it's difficult to defend Arum.

Its truly sad how Manny and Floyd have divided the boxing fan base. Its even more sad how delusional both sides are. But the Manny fan base are truly ridiculous in that regard. They should either fight or retire becuz no other fight for them matters at all.
Oh, and fighthype is a good site. I'll leave it at that.Last edited by Thickback; 12-30-2014, 06:15 PM.

It's a good thing, at least he would find out if something doesn't add up. It's not like he would do anything about it anyway, he isn't that smart to exercise any type of changes. He would probably accept another Ferrari gift and sign another 5 fights deal.

Sounds like someone else is to blame to me.
I know Floyd fans, what does Rapheal know about anything right..more then you and I that's for sure....
