Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser Fires Back at Mosley Fight Critics

[fitefan]

.....his one punch power gives him about a 25% chance.....Manny's wack defense gives him ANOTHER 10-15 %.....so we looking at maybe a 30-40% chance .....seriously, Shane DOES have a chance in this fight

haha! well done, dude

[CaliAgent]

It's clear that when the truth is precieved as hate you have a clear case of blind love! Who can be mad at that! I feel PAC is a very exciting talented fighter. For those reasons I would like to see him fight the best out there. Again PAC fans should want this too!! Nobody wants to see the lakers beat Hollywood highschool for the championship! Fight the best to be the best. Don't HATE on Berto JMM or Paul the punisher!! Don't HATE on those hard working pound for pound ranked fighters!! Mosley is not even in the PfP diacusion. CASE CLOSED!!

I don't get it.

this dude is staying active...giving you fights every 6 months, and you hate him for it?

The other guy retires on a regular basis, gets in trouble with the law, and doesn't mind at all being inactive (on "vacation", so the buttboys don't get hurt) and he's applauded?

Fine, Manny's fighting these no-chance guys...but he's out there giving boxing fans 12 rounds..1000+ punches...even on "punching bag" Clottey. Financially, his advisers and Arum tell him which fight is the most marketable...and at this point, it's the Mosley fight (Mosley because 1.4m bought the Mayweather/Mosley PPV). Berto is a relative NOBODY.

a JMM fight would only be interesting at 135lbs.

Asked AFTER THE MORA FIGHT if he'd read the less-than-glowing reports of the controversial draw, Arum gave little reason to expect a Mosley-Pacquiao showdown.


"I did and I read them saying Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round," Arum said. "To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40s but he always had that big, big punch like in the (Michael) Moorer fight.

"What I've read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he's going to be 40 and he's in the lighter weights where speed is so important. He's on a show with guys -- example, 20-year-old Saul Canelo Alvarez -- old enough to be his son.

"I guess Shane needs the money due to his matrimonial sitaution (a divorce under harsh California community property rules),"Arum said. "I've always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age.

"It's like (Bernard) Hopkins, he still knows how to fight but who wants to pay to see him now? His fights are not very scintillating. What you see with Hopkins we're beginning to see with Mosley."

Arum said he wouldn't be interested in playing the flakcatcher if he made a Shane-Manny bout at this point.

You're a ***wit Koncz.

You have attempted to persuade people that know far more about boxing than you will ever know..... what exactly is it that you do again ?

[richardt]

Who gives a *** what Arum thinks or says??? Some people hang on his every word or action to find something to attack about him. All promoters are scum. The fighters are not their promoters. Some brainless fools try to attack Pac through what his promoter does. ***ing lame. Get a life.

[ivan49]

the critics just want a fight that Pac can't win or where he will be handicapped.... so who cares what they say, they will end up watching Pac anyway.... better than waiting for Floyd to grow some balls to face Pac. as for marquez, berto and martinez, line 'em up after Mosley. i doubt if these critics will shut up if Pac beats them all. **it, chickenweather gets a free pass by not fighting anyone and just waiting for Pac to lose, so these critics aka *****s will of course say nothing. hope chickenweather goes to jail and gets ****ed up there instead!
