Thoughts on how this will have an impact on his relationship with Top Rank:

What "evidence" did Koncz present to Manny is what I'm asking.

What "evidence" did Koncz present to Manny is what I'm asking.

Documentation, a snippet from a contract essentially, that looks as though VisionQwest got him to sign a power of attorney, giving them full control of his business affairs.

Pretty sure I mentioned that in one of the articles.

Essentially, he was convinced that VisionQwest was trying to take over his business dealings, he got pissed, and canned them.

When someone is gullible, it's very easy to control them...especially when you know in advance the right things to say and the right way to manipulate them.

The picture painted by Ben Thompson of Manny Pacquiao is of a completely naive dunce. I don't quite buy it. Why can't he ask Alex Ariza his thoughts on the subject? Not saying Ben Thompson is trying to be misleading to get at Bob Arum, but I don't feel like I'm getting a complete picture. Who convinced Manny to hire VisionQwest in the first place? And why can't this person convince Manny that Arum and Koncz are misleading him regarding VisionQwest? I mean, why hire them in the first place if it wasn't out of a mistrust of Koncz and Arum? Why would he suddenly believe Koncz without getting someone else's opinion? Is Manny really so indifferent regarding his business decisions? And, if so, why hire VisionQwest in the first place?
