Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Malignaggi: Early Fight Talks Have Started

I'll become a Floyd fan now if he fights Mosley. How does Top Rank expect to sell these fights with Foreman or Malinaggi on PPV? Pac is just killing his leverage against future opponents by doing this.

Paulie has nothing to offer Pac

He holds no belts, and is not even in the top 5 at LWW. If Pac's looking to fight another boxer in preparation for a possible post-elections fight with PBF, he should do it with Bradley. The guy has formal belts to offer and is a live dog, so the fans won't feel cheated.

What tests needs to be done prior to this fight ?

DNA test to ensure that Manny P. is fighting a male ?

there is no way paulie takes this fight w/o a blood test. if he does, then its clear he's only in it for the money and knows he cant win.

That's fine, as long as it doesn't happen on fight day.

I hope Manny takes the olympic drug tests for the Malignaggi fight---then beat the living crap out of the guido.

Better be some sort of a joke.

Headline: Mayweather beats Pacquaio without fight and taints Arums best fighter.

Headline: Mayweather beats Pacquaio without fight and taints Arums best fighter all without throwing a punch. Not only does Arum lose millions in potential earnings from this fight but also loses millions in potential earnings from future fights. Remember it was Arums goal to make Pacquaio a megastar ala Delahoya.. Now? Now Arum is just f#%ked

Pac is in a no win situation.. If he doesn't fight his rep as a hero is ruined.
No one is dumb enough to believe he would rather NOT fight than give in to random tests. Even though he might not like it he's a professional and can adapt unless he had something to hide.. I'm a Pac fan but I got to keep it real.. If PAC doesn't fight all his credibility is out the door.. Pride of Phillipines.. 7 belts in 7 weights all out the door.

A source close to the situation has advised BoxingScene.com that promoters Bob Arum of Top Rank and Lou DiBella of DiBella Ent. have actually discussed the possibility of Paulie Malignaggi replacing Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the opponent for Manny Pacquiao on March 13. I've heard the two sides briefly spoke about the possible fight, and plan to continue their discussion after the holidays. [Click Here To Read More]
