Cotto at a CW. A much better fight, but only made because it was in stable.

Mosley. Ancient, hadn't won in years. He jumps ship and saunters over to be Arum's special friend. Again we get a fight that nobody was demanding.

If the judges aren't false, the matchmaking certainly is. The demand is created after the fights are made. It is propaganda and false.

Arum has been doing this for years now with Manny. 'Ask my promoter', what kind of lame line is that? Fuck your promoter you opinion-less droid.
I believe I've heard one or two other fighters besides Manny use that line.

So besides Mayweather who did you demand Pacquiao fight ?

Please name some opponents that Manny ducked or would have been far better than the ones you shot down ?

I will agree with you on old Mosley and Clottey. Those were nonsense.
My point is about matching within your stable and that being the only possible option. It has been going on for over 3 years with the occasional exception.

Ortiz, Berto or Martinez would have been decent opponents with the flash to give Manny a good fight.

Cotto was the best matchup and that was spoiled by not being WW.
Yeah Bob Arum is a greedy fat cunt and habitually matches his own fighters against each other so he can get double the pleasure from their purses. No argument there.

Martinez vs. Pac or Floyd would be awesome and amazing. Duran fought Hagler so wtf is the problem ? Martinez is a true 154 lber and a small MW anyway.

All of this is true, but Pacquiao won against Bradley. And I didn't think he looked terrible doing it either, could have and should have finished him, but hindsight is 20/20.
