Of course manny would duck an actual threat like berto.
Does this mean Floyd is signing to fight Berto? Sweet!!! Can't wait!!

Probably the only way Manny will fight him is after Floyd busts him up.
From looking at Sugar Shane's tweets, it looks like he's the next victim. @SugarShaneM
I just enjoy watching this guy hit a heavy bag, or move around the ring in the gym.
It is an event to watch him fight, a real joy.
UltraMagnus - Whos it against? Shitty Shane Mosley or Andre Berto?
mosley said last week he was fighting pacman

Berto was asked about fighting Manny before, and immediately after (in the ring), his last bout. He said he wanted two more bouts (Mosely and someone else (I forget who now)) before he was ready for Pacquiao. His own words. So, if Berto himself doesn't want the bout, why would Arum pursue it?
Reports are that both Mosely and Marquez are being negotiated with. Arum has already said his plan is to do nothing but big money fights with Manny. So, I assume it will depend on what kind of deal he could negotiate with Golden Boy for a co-promotion.
With Floyd unavailable and seemingly unwilling to fight Manny, his options for a "big fight" are limited. Shane wouldn't be my first choice but financially I'm sure he makes more sense from Arum's perspective than the up and comers, who are total unknowns to casual fans who comprise a big portion of PPV buyers.

If that's true, it would take Freddie away from Manny for at least a week since he'd have to go to the UK with Khan
