hello scoop, i just want to share my thoughts about arum and and the team pacquiao. i can say that bob arum is a genius as a promoter , and pacquiao is perfectly doing his job.. if u find some flaws on my grammar.. forgive me for its not my first language.. obviously i?m a filipino. who is a die hard pacquiao fan, and that will never change just because of people crying of a robbery.
i watched the fight over and over again. and i had manny winning 115 113. i have a feeling that manny controlled his game just to convinced the fans that he is fading., manny is in good condition that night, i can still see the speed and the footwork.. but if u will watch it carefully. compare to his previous fight he is not hitting marquez the way he hits his previous opponents.
what i am suspecting here is that bob arum got tired of floyd mayweather. and as what u always say in ur article that floyd does?nt really wanna fight pacman. i think its team pacquaio and arum?s strategy to convince the fans that anyone can beat him, so that any fighter will be a valid opponent for pacman,
mayweather team are not dumb to notice this, they know pacman, and they also know that arums strategy is working, that toprank can earn millions without him. i think that is the reason why suddenly they are calling pacquiao.
im not trying to look like an expert scoop, just sharing my thoughts. i?ve been following u eversince i first read ur article.
SCOOP REPLY: Your theory is very possible. After hearing some of the stories I?ve heard from the boxing grapevine, about anything is possible in boxing and given the two-year refusal of Mayweather to step up, for Arum and Roach and Pacquiao to concoct a scheme like this would make sense. Watching the fight and interaction between rounds would partially but not completely refute this theory. But the fact of the matter and despite all the smokescreens and deceptions about drug tests, is that Floyd Mayweather is the one guilty of blocking the biggest fight in boxing history for two years. Right now it looks like Arum has changed his mind but keep in mind Arum has all the reasons to use stall tactics ? as Arum probably wants to wait till Ken Hershman takes office at HBO so he can maximize Top Rank?s alliance with HBO before he commits to any deals. Now it?s Team Mayweather?s turn to wait as they are clearly the B side now. ????????????????????????
whats the point of ariza venting his opinion as of this early, i believed arum is just faking this situation right now and wanted to make sure that the bait is eaten and the fishing rod is moving towards all direction and make sure that there is the catch! the catch are all in one place and one cage in which they can?t run no more believing that manny is on decline and beatable. ellerbe, haymon, shaeffer, dela hoya and the crazy mayweather clan are all in one page wanting to fight pacquaio but is this what they really want scoop? is there any press release from floyd itself that he really wanted the fight or is this just a ploy to just poke the blame on arum again though they really dont want the fight? did they have some covert or intelligence report inside pacquaio team that manny held his true power and form and acted conservative not to knock marquez to bait all the protectors of the coward floydie gayweather and here comes ariza mouth lording an interview fuming insults and invectives to arum and konz. ariza i do believed coming from filipinos inside manny pacquaio team is not popular among filipinos in the team pacquaio because of his mouth and even manny pacquaio dont like the tone of his character, ariza talks too much and the only reason he is still on the pacquaio team is freddie roach. if not for freddie, ariza is gone in the team pacquaio. i really dont know if ariza will still be there in the next fight of manny pacquaio after this interview. ariza shoud just be a conditioning coach or else he just killed the fight of the century in which arum, top rank with konz as the whisper in the ears of manny to held back his power and let them think that he is beatable. konz was the whisperer and ordered manny to held back his power and manny obligated to follow the order from bob and ariza before the fight had an argument with manny not to follow what top rank wants and there was a big argument 2 days before the fight. this is a bait and fake move from arum, konz, manny and some filipino boxing godfather of pacquaio who you dont know scoop just to bait all the protectors of floydie and floydie itself. now ariza is opening his mouth and i dont know if this help or not. ariza should just shut his mouth as of the moment. what do you think scoop?
SCOOP REPLY: This theory makes sense. Given all the crazyness and illogic we have seen over the last two years from many of the characters involved, why not? If Pacquiao kills Marquez, there?s no way in hell the extremely frightened Floyd would suddenly step up to face Pac Man?he?d have another nervous breakdown much more devastating than the one he had at the post Baldomir press conference where he cried uncontrollably for almost ten minutes. Of course that breakdown was brought on by the extreme public and media pressure Floyd was suffering from for ducking Antonio Margarito three times in 2006. Floyd?s fear of Margarito was NOTHING compared to the fear he has of Manny Pacquiao who destroyed Margarito and Cotto. Even now that Manny looked subpar vs. Marquez, Floyd?s being very careful with his words and has not committed verbally to say that he actually wants to fight Manny next. I still have the sense that Floyd has tremendous respect and fear of Pacquiao and would prefer to fight Morales or Guerrero if he could have his way.
