Is there anyway Pacquiao can regain his status without fighting Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao reputation has taken and huge hit over the past few weeks, due to the fact they wont agree to a fight with Floyd Mayweather on May 5th 2012, Fans and media alike would just want to see the fight. It’s been far to long, but when you have Arum doing the most of your speaking for you, nothing positive will come out of it, he has pulled out every trick in his little black book but the public is not buying it this time. Mayweather is stepping up to answer Arum lies with truth and you just can’t beat that.

Arum knew all along Mayweather couldn’t move from his fight date, just as I did and I haven’t even dreamed of taking a bar exam. Still Arum makes these ridiculous remarks and post them under Pacquiao’s name. “We are waiting for Mayweather to get a guarantee, I have mine because I have a promoter, he needs to find a promoter to guarantee his purse, we are ready on our in.” This is one of the dumb statements that they made for Pacquiao. Anyone who knows Manny will tell you Manny doesn’t speak like that.

Now if they don not fight Mayweather where does that leave Pacquiao. His name has taken such a beating over this that a fight with Cotto wont fix it, a fight with Bradley might be good, and a fight with Marquez is a waste of time because we all know the outcome.
