PSL wasn't or anyone in this thread was talking about p4p titles or being p4p no. 1. And it's true Pacquiao is running the show now. As in negotiations for fights and conditions will be in his favor and on his terms. That's pretty much "running the show." The other guy that has that kind of power in the boxing game is Mayweather. They are the 2 faces of boxing right at this moment. They have the leverage to dictate terms to other opponents they face.

That's how it is in the game. De la Hoya ran the show when he was around as did Leonard before him and so did Ray Robinson before him also. Whoever has the leverage will use it. Boxing is a business and that's how business works. The same also applies to politics and war.
