HOT POTATO via HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – Call it ‘passing the buck”! But, if Manny Pacquiao so indeed wants to face Floyd Mayweather, Jr. next, he can surely overpower Top Rank Godfather Robert “Bob” Arum’s proposition regardless of differential standing they both have relative to the possible negotiations that must take place. Arum’s job is to promote or market Pacquiao’s choice, not the other way around.
Should Pacquiao just wait Mayweather, Jr. to turn 36 with the remote possiblity of making the fight happen?
Why Arum and Pacquiao would avoid Mayweather this late Spring
What’s lighting up is that the power of choice ultimately belongs to Pacquiao. Now that Mayweather, Jr. issues challenges, the vindication of the judgment would be upon Pacquiao, less to Arum, in fact. Playing with rhetorical statement such as “I want Mayweather next” does not warrant surety.
