Then, prior to his 32nd birthday, Pacman will have an exhibition fight in his own home city of General Santos in the Philippines against a mere gatekeeper, probably against Zab Judah, the chicken dancer...

Pacman already made it known that he will retire after 2 or 3 more fights and these farewell fights will all happen next year, not beyond 2010.
Most likely, Pacman's 2010 fights in Las Vegas will be, as follows:
1. Pacman vs. Mayweather
2. Pacman vs. Mosley
3. Pacman vs. Marquez
Then, Pacman will go home to his country and have one farewell fight there against another legitimate contender, probably against Edwin Valero...

Zab should humble himself and take a fight and completely kill his opponent. Once he does that, his performance would get him his next fight which would be bigger, and so on and so forth.
Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and demand attention, even if that poor guy in the other corner has to take a beating for it.

It does make sense that Arum would want Cotto to win. At first you would think no way, Pacquiao is his biggest cashcow but Pacquiao is already planning retirement after the next 2 fights.
You have to figure that Cotto plans to stick around alot longer than that if he keeps winning.

I think he'd paste Juan, but does anyone else think that Berto would put a serious dent in Zab's ass? This is 2009 Zab we're talking about, not 2002.

But Zab, Bobby P has had more success than any of your brothers.

There was a time when I would have picked Zab to do just that. Bout round 8 of the Baldomir catastrophe, that time passed.

Manny can't draw 19,000?
I think if I were a chick, I'd be one of those pathetic fools who constantly spent her time dating the town idiots and taking regular abuse from them. I say that because no matter how nutty that Zab Judah is, I can't help but love him. He's magically beyond reproach in my book.

Big gamble for Judah. If it works he's a genius, if it fails he's a moron. Either way this "UNDERACHIEVER" has balls!!!

CLEVELAND--While he is a marvelously skilled boxer, Floyd Mayweather's real talent away from the ring is the playground game of dodgeball.
The alacrity with which "Money May" ducks aggressive interviewers (I'm blushing) and hard questions (Brian Kenny, take a bow) is even more impressive than his hand and foot speed within the squared circle.
That can't be said for the Bigmouth from the BK, Brooklyn's own Super Zab Judah.
Ask Zabby Dabby a hard question and you will get a snappy answer. You might be offended by the reply but you will get it raw, BK style.
Judah knows no other way.
So I was chatting with Judah after the Hector Camacho-Pito Cardona PPV TV weigh in Friday after Zab and his Pops, Yoel Judah, informed that "friend" Mayweather was "Money Too Low" in his purse offer and that thus Judah will not fight veteran Antonio Diaz on the Marquez-Mayweather show ept. 19. 
"Floyd is my friend and he was getting me on the card out of friendship,  " Zab said, "but the money they offered is just too low."
We got to chatting about possible opponents moving forward and Judah mentioned Andre Berto and Juan Diaz, who Zab said have similar styles and would be "easy work" for him.
So, being a troublemaker (as the Mayweather camp or Golden Goys), I mentioned Manny Pacquiao.
Judah sneered.
Judah snorted.
Judah breathed fire on a hot late August day in downtown Cleveland.
"His brother, Bobby, is a straight up bum and you know the saying about how the apple doesn't fall from the tree," Judah said.
Does that mean you want to fight Megamanny, I said, wanting no misunderstanding.
"Tell him yeah," Judah said. "Go tell Bob Arum to gas him up. I won't just beat Pacquiao. I will beat him senseless!"
Judah also said that he's sure Arum will lose no sleep if Miguel Cotto beats Pacman on Nov. 14 since he has both under his Top Rank promotional tent.
"Arum wants Cotto to win and he will. My father and I disagree because he says Pacquiao will win. But Arum has Cotto in New York, in Madison Square Garden every June in connection with the Puerto Rican Day Parade and they draw 19,000 people. Why would Arum want to give that up? Pacquaio can't draw people like that."

Dupe,
I know it's Diaz only.......... but it has happened against Baldomir......... money talks, and maybe he didn't like the tune of what he was getting.

Only two things I can think of:
1) judah is "hating" on Floyd's promotion of the fight and doesn't want to feel like he is just an undercard fighter on PBF's main event. Zab lives in Vegas now, and has surely been privy to the publicity and logistics of May Marq 24/7.
2) He is using this as a negotiation tactic at a late date to get a bigger purse. He knows that the undercard has been announced, etc. If he is getting $250K, it sucks to hear FMJ is getting $15 mil.
If he skips this fight, he would have gone a year without a paycheck (how does he do that?). If I were Zab, I'd fight on this card, and then try to get on Shane's Dec 5th card.

It's a ploy for Floyd to postpone the fight. Those who bought tickets because Judah was on the undercard ~ can they get a refund? Next thing you know HBO will pull out?
THIS FIGHT IS JINXED!!!!
