Comments Thread For: Matthysse Would Rather Fight Pacquiao, Not Be Him

[ThePunchingBag]

So you are saying Pacquaio after fighting Marquez 3 times was a sure thing to win the fourth fight? As close as that third fight was..you can say that? I disagree with you on that. Does he prefer in-house fights? Yes. So does every promoter with big enough stars to pull that off. GBP has how many in-house fights per month? Plenty..most just aren't stars yet. Listen I honestly think Arum would toss Pacquaio to a pack of wolves if it could get him 2 million ppv buys and a 12 million dollar gate.

I'm saying Arum didn't give a fck because JMM left GBP to sign with Top Rank.

No doubt, but only if he didn't allow GBP to get in on some of that pie.

Arum would match Pac up against a Grizzly bear as long as the Grizzly wasn't promoted by Golden boy.

Lucas is indeed the next Pacman! Exciting to watch! I am a fan of Garcia but I do not think he can handle Matthysse's power. Danny will have to be in great shape and not fade in the late rounds to have a chance against Lucas.

As long as Arum promotes both of them he would make that fight 5 or 6 or 7 times.

No matter who loses he owns the promotional rights of the winner.

Because GBP put forth a good effort to make Mares vs. Donaire. Arum has never shown himself to be willing to go to the same extent.

They're both to blame, but Arum is a stodgy old coot who is set in his ways.

I think fishnets is more flexible to change.

Schaefer would stab Arum in the heart if he knew he could get away with it, but then again so would many people on this board.

Too bad TR and GBP won't do it.

[BuckToothed]

GBP should send Matthysse to fight Pac, then TR should send Rigo to fight Mares.
It should be a win-win situation since GBP doesn't care much for Matthysse and TR of Rigo.

That was sort of dum on Schaefer's behalf to compare & call Matthysse the "New Pacquiao", especially after the way Pacquiao has looked in his last few fights & after the fact that Pacquiao fights out of a southpaw stance & Matthysse out of the orthodox stance. Matthysse has the ability to make a name for himself & there's no need to compare him to any other fighter..& I'm still looking for that 8th division where Manny Pacquiao supposedly won a world title, if someone finds it, pleas let Me know..
