I have a strange feeling Arum will sabotage Pacquiao by not telling ESPN for tv deal

We all know that Arum can be very vindictive and hold a grudge. He is willing to cut off his own nose in order to spite his face; Just ask Oscar. Even though they have done several cards together in the past because it made good business sense but deep down, he has never forgiven Oscar for leaving him. Bob was hurt when De La Hoya split. He is still secretly holding a grudge to this very day. He even blacklisted Golden Boy for several years by not doing business with them. We can only just hope it is not the case with Manny Pacquiao. Arum held a grudge on Oscar because when oscar signed pacquiao Oscar told people I beat the biggest Jew to come out of Harvard, Oscar should have never made that comment.

This thread has been up for two days. Nothing is going to stop this fight from happening on time.

Yep, ESPN have no idea about a fight concerning one of the biggest names of the sport, a fighter which has fought on the channel before and are relying on Bob to tell them the fight is occurring, as they are the ones suppose to be showing it. Sounds legit.

Matthysse has already been paid. The officials have been appointed and both Oscar and Pacquiao say the fight is on. No problems.

the idea that Arum would sabotage the event (and cost himself money) is beyond retarded....... This is what I've been saying. He's not THAT petty to cost himself money over this, especially if he can make ANY kind of money on an old dog like Pacquaio.

Everybody knows about the fight. How could WSPN not know about the fight? The officials have been chosen and Oscar and Pacquiao say there is no problem. Your prediction of doom will not come true. What prediction of doom mr sensitive? you always getting butt hurt, I hope Lucas knocks Pacmans teeth out, you always talk Chit man move on

This was Dan's answer to Manny and the fight. Manny's team doesn't seem to be on top of things. Dan Rafael, Watch The Boxing Beat on ESPN Plus (11:35 AM) As of now the fight is on but it won't be an ESPN PPV as originally Manny wanted it to be because his team missed deadlines for deposits to pay for things related to the PPV event. They have also missed deadlines by which the Matthysse/Golden Boy money had to be put in escrow. So we'll see what happens with the money for Matthysse. As for TV, it would seem that now it will be either on ESPN or ESPN+ Yeah manny has horrible people working for him wtf? Are all filipinos late and unprofessional like that? Its going to be on ESPN+ app, there is no way they have any slots open for Saturday its too late to make room for the fight on regular espn.

I don't mind if it's PPV, I'll gladly pay full price for it. If it's regular ESPN then even better. I just don't want to have to stream the fight. WAR PACQUIAO!!! I'll support him until the very end of his career.

Actually Arum is in control of that, that is his responsibility he agreed to broadcast the fight for Manny, all Manny had to do was worry about the financials. Arum has yet to announce any ESPN platform, he has been iffy the past two weeks as well, he might not even tell ESPN to sabotage Manny This was Dan's answer to Manny and the fight.

Manny still wants those 20 million guarantees. He is not going to get them from ole Bob. Manny has to realize his value has greatly diminished. Yeah even mike tyson after the long awaited lennox lewis fight was getting paid singile digit millions. Like 5 to 10 tops.

I don't understand how Bob Arum could be part of any of Pac's Pay per view television distribution service since he is no longer promoting Manny. At the time, ESPN was under the notion that Pac was still under contract with Top Rank when they signed that ESPN+ deal with him. However, since he is no longer part of his stable by going independent, then I don't know what they are going to do. because Bob Arum is no longer under any legal binding agreement or obligation to distribute this fight. Arum is part of the fight he is the one handling the us tv rights, pacquiao asked him to do it and Arum agreed.

Steve Kim saying Arum making an announcement on US TV tomorrow https://mobile.twitter.com/steveucnlive/status/1013836298736435202?p=v Hopefully its on regular ESPN.

LOL if arum tells ESPN about the fight or not, something tells me they might still know it’s happening I didnt understand either, is the op saying Arum wont tell espn Manny is fighting and ESPN has no idea, like coming fight night everybody at the espn headquarters would be "damn you arum, you didnt tell us manny was fighting tonight!!"

Its in two weeks, yet Arum is handling the tv rights for pacmans fight, i have this strange feeling arum will not inform espn about the fight causing pacquiao to either lose money or the fight gets canceled. Pacman wanted the fight on espn ppv, is pacman dumb? Arum is a snake you left him and think he is going to help you out? This is how naive manny is. Pacquiao should have jusr let golden boy handle the tv deal for the fight and return back to HBO, but pacman thought hey to show Arum that im still friendly terms with him, ill let him handle my tv deal for the fight hahahah Watch the fight either get canceled or it goes on but no usa television outlet and they lose money Arum was already trying to steal lucas mattyhssee away for crawford.ESPN supposed to grant Bob Arum a licensing fee in order to telecast the fight or live stream it because they thought that Pacquaio was still with Bob's promotional company. However, since Pacquiao is no longer promoted by Bob Arum, then Top Rank is going to owe ESPN money if the fight is canceled.

Its absolutely insane that Pacquiao already blew through 160 million dollars. FFS.

arum gonna announce tomorrow that the fight will be on ppv at $120 to fcvk pacman over lol.Yes, I got a feeling Bob is cutting Manny out in order to sabotage this event. He was setting up to fail all along as he never wanted this fight to begin with.
