Why didn't Arum let Pacquiao fight Barrera?

[DiegoFuego]

its been years since these guys fought ...like 2 or 3 ..

neither one of them wanna fight eachother mab dosnt wanna get wooped agian and pacquio dosnt wanna fall to the barrera curse of rematches

see anyone barreras fought twice

I agree. He really whooped Junior Jones in that rematch. Isn't Barrera like 2-1 in rematches lol? And most people thought he lost to Morales in that rematch

[ROSEWOOD]

Because he knows that Barrea is a serious threat to Pac's title..He knows that Barrea will not brawl with Pac but instead box his damn brains out...Arum is far from ******.....

I've been in Miami all week for the Orange Bowl. Last I'd heard, Golden Boy gave Arum til Monday to sign the contract and Pacquiao and Arum didn't. It's not like they have another opponent so what gives? Very bad move because now Pacquiao looks like the coward when we all know that isn't the case.

this kind of move by arum is how you get under your competitor's skin. this is the only victory that arum is going to get over GBP, and he's willing to **** himself and his fighter to do it. and it's ot a victory at all either. thats die hard and probably not the best money making strategy to take.

you can't blame Manny for his promoter's short comings. he already beat barerra clearly, i bet arum has got something else for him, what i have no clue that seems to be the fight everyone wants to see, at least i'm sure that is what arum is telling Pac, " i got something better for you kid "

Arum didn't let Pac fight Barrera simply because he doesn't want to be left out.

Remember folks that it was Arum who offered a $ 2.5 Mil plus 50-50 PPV share to MAB first to make the fight happen. Why did GBP didn't agree to fight Pacquaio with that offer?

And also take note that GBP made a counter offer directly to Pacquaio not to Arum.

So that question should be applicable both ways.

Barrera deserves more then 2.5 Mil for this fight, he's probably going to get more then that for fighting Marquez, Stop beating around the bush this is all Paquaios fault for not maning up and making his own decisions.

Barrera deserves more than $2.5 Mil? Then why didn't they negotiate and instead made a counter offer with a deadline of only 7 days?

You're funny dude, do you expect Pac to make his own decission and disregard Arum?

Pacquaio already made a statement regarding this wherein he said he's not gonna be running after MAB. In As much as he wanted that big fight, it's not gonna be him who's should be desperate about it. He's not the beaten fighter in the first fight.

Hell yea he deserves more then 2.5 Mil, hes been making that kind of money for a couple years now and if he fights Pac he deserves alot more because this is a big fight. Whats so funny about Paquaio making his own decisions? Bob aurum works for pac not the other way around. you need to stop making excuses for your boy because he ****ed up period! I work with allot of fillipinos and their all disapointed that he desided to sign with top rank for whatever reason and the fact that he didnt take the 50/50 deal.

Pac ****ed up? Nah, he's on the right track. Mab's got the WBC belt but he's the the No 1 p4p rating plus he already beat up the guy before, if GBP really wants the fight for MAB they should have negotiated. As I said in my earllier post ARUM won't be left out. Nobody can deal directly with any fighter who's under contract it's that simple.

MAB ****ed up not Pacquaio because now if he loses to Marquez, he can retire bringing his bad night excuse with him and a PAC/JMM rematch can be bigger. If MAB wins then that makes his rematch with Pac bigger. Pac has nothing to lose.

That is if GBP will agree to make the arrangement in the future.

How is he on the right track? when now he has nobody to fight with a Big name. He could of fought Barrera and probably beat him and then fight Marquez it dont get any bigger then that! now he has to sit around and fight a nobody and get the winner instead of both! The reason i say he ****ed up is because GBP has all the names fighters at his weight why the hell did he go with the rival that has nobody for him and if you dont understand this then theirs no gettying trew to you, your blinded by paquiaos nuts, I dont know what to tell you.
