Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Malignaggi Looms; Schaefer Balks at Final Offer

[COACH WEBB]

so wait malinagii went from stepping stone for khan to a viable opponent for the number 1 p4p.

And is pac suing malinagii.........he also was vocal aboiut many beig on roids.

Pac is a joke.

hahahahahaha...so true

and they call this guy the fighter of the decade??

so far the excuses have been.

1. Needle phobia (no issues before, and manny even snacks during tat work)
2. Disruptive to his training (yet shooting movies, preparing for concerts not an issue)
3. Will make him weak lol.......
4. Superstitions lol...... This one really they must have been joking...or must of been lost in translation.....
5. Manny was disrespected and will not then do the test out of principle (yet they looking at paulie as an option lol......)

manny is a fake and arum is a snake with no integrity .

[project xxx1]

*** that,i dont want to see manny vs pulie,arum is scum and manny is ducking,i think pbf should fight a roided up pac and beat his backside and get even more ratings for the fight

[ELPacman]

Ok, I give up. This fight is impossible at this point. It's so clear as day somebody doesn't want the fight. Top Rank has made it's ammends and they were very accommodating ammends. There's nothing left that seems right. Let's put it on file that Floyd doesn't want this ****. Enough trying to force him to do something he doesn't want to. Yes it's sad day for boxing, but in the end, Manny don't need him. He needed Manny more and in history, it will show he needed him more than Manny did.

[Marduke]

EXACTLY!! and they call this guy the fighter of the decade??? NO WAY BRO!!!

GIVE ME A ****ING BREAK.

I haven't heard you morons complaining about the NSAC for the past few years. But now all of a sudden it's not good enough? Random testing or nothing? Get a clue.

Bunch of morons jumping on the bandwagon.

Malinaggi could be a good matchup. Arum is a good promoter

Everybody seems very negative about Malinaggi, I don't know why?

This could be a very interesting matchup. Malinaggi is very brave, great chin, clever boxer, and is always prepared to "put his money where his mouth is".

And, don't forget, if Arum thinks it's a good replacement, the chances are that it is, and will be.

Arum takes great pride on making good fights and good matchups, unlike Goilden Balls, and is undoubtedly the premier promoter in the business, by a large margin.

So I'm inclined to think that it would be an entertaining fight at least.


And, although he doesn't have a great punch, if he catches Manny coming in, the way Mayweather and Manny both caught Hatton, he can hurt a guy.

Just my opinion....

More like ducker of the decade. Man, Pacquiao better at least fight Bradley or I'm not a fan anymore.

The way things are going, Manny Pacquiao vs. Paulie Malignaggi is looking more and more likely for March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is not receptive to Top Rank's final offer to save the March super-fight with Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. If Schaefer does not accept the final offer by Monday, Arum plans to ditch any further plans to fight Mayweather - and then he will finalize Malignaggi as the replacement.

What's lost in all of this is who will Floyd fight, if not Pac? Will it be Matthew Hatton as he originally expressed interest in fighting? Is that acceptable in comparison to Pac/Malignaggi?

[any craic lad?]

Malignaggi could knock him out in the first round. Just sayin.'

Fair enough like anything can happen but malinaggi has no hope of even knocking manny down in the mannys chin is very good and paulie is one of the weakest hitting top ranked fighters i think he has 5 kos in his career

[lcheezy]

arum does'nt want pac to fight pbf because he knows that pac can't beat him.in bob's mind everybody has already made alot of money over the years so this does'nt hurt either fighter but it hurts boxing.it also keeps arum's cash cow going.whoever arum gets the fight won't have the mayweather ring.
