It could be close - Arum in talks with Showtime for Floyd /Pacquiao Mega Fight

[walrus]

Manny can still get away with fight crap Top Rank fighters in China for years. Floyd has pressure to make the big numbers so with canelo v cotto being made next year Floyd has limited option other than Khan which may not be big over there anyway.

Well Manny is still in financial trouble as far as I know and needs big money, Floyd made 32 million guaranteed (who knows how much more after the proceeds were tallied up) to fight Maidana in his last fight, he has two fights left... he can make huge money fighting guys like Cotto, Khan, or even a young up and comer. He won't make nearly as much as he would vs Pac, but if you look at who needs the fight more, it's Pac.

Manny had some accounts frozen in the Philippines due to tax issues of where he paid on his US fights. He was never broke as some reported.Some in his circle say he is generous to a fault. Regardless, it is obvious he does not have the same bank statements Floyd does. I have heard that his tax issues have been straightened out, it does sound like he was trying to dodge taxes somewhere along the line, he just should have hired better people to do it.

Why arent the majority telling pac to leave his slave contract like oscar and floyd did!..too late now anyway.

Interesting and Ariza was right on the money... it seems like guys started to thrive AFTER leaving Arum.

Arum is a cock sucker like Don King.

I won't believe it until these two idiots are in the ring together.

Agree 100%.

I've had my fill of these two clowns & their will-they-won't-they saga is monumentally boring after 5 years.

By the time they eventually share a ring (very unlikely, I know) , they'll either need hip replacements or a resection of their prostates as they'll be so aged!
