Bob Arum is such a tool

A multi-millionaire (probably billionaire) tool.

I'm starting to believe Pacquiao is never going to fight a non Top Rank fighter. Bob only wants the top rank fighters, and hypes them up like they are going to be great fights. Then says they will try to make a Mayweather fight happen, just to get it out there so they can say " see we tried to make it happen".

The next potential opponents for Pacquiao are Marquez, Berto, and Mosley. Marquez is a Golden Boy fighter, Berto fights for Lou DiBella, and Mosley still has a partnership with Golden Boy but if I'm not mistaken is currently a "free agent." None of those guys are Top Rank fighters...

True, but more than likely we all know it's going to be Mosley. Why? because he is the "free agent" and Top Rank will not have to deal with any other promoter.

If that multimillionaire is a tool then I'd like to be that kind of tool.

Of course he's not in a hurry to sign Floyd... he's the biggest threat to Floyd out there.

Forget all of this 'I may retire soon' crap... it's just spin to make A fights into AAA fights.

Just like David Haye can and will fight guys like Audley harrison as long as he makes millions for it, manny will fight guys other than floyd as long as people are interested enough to pay... he will maximise what he can earn, retire when the interest drops a little and then shockingly come out of retirement to fight floyd.

Maybe he won't do the whole 'I've retired, no I haven't' routine, but I would not be at all surprised if he did

I do not think Arum is avoiding Floyd for the Pac Man. I genuinely think Arum believes Pac Man will beat Floyd.
