Comments Thread For: Arum Believes Pacquiao-Provodnikov Can Be Made

[BuckToothed]

Provodnikov has no business fighting Pac, he will get outboxed like Rios, not to mention he won't have his primary trainer, Roach, in the corner.

The last and only thing I ask for Pac now is to rematch Bradley and get a decisive win (KO preferred).
After that, I'm done with him and he can fight whomever he wishes (retirement preferred), but I won't be paying PPV for it.

Some days i love bob arum, some days i hate him. Today, i hate him...look what his fighters are left with at top rank. No options except rematches..
When it comes down to it, its all cause of mayweather, he caused al the conflict between promoters and even now network cables. No denying that.
Take a look, de la hoya whomleft golden boy, made the fight easily with pacquiao who was with top rank bon arum, and same as ricky hattonni believe on different promotions...
Things only went sour when mayweather caused all unnecessary drama in negotiations for pacquiao fight, causing promoters to hate n blame each other.
Then mayweather gets offended by hbo always attacking him to fight pac post interview ala larry merchant, and defects to showtime now causing heat withh hbo
Lmao all cuz of one man this conflict we are missing out on great and even better undercards

Wow, some of you guys are too much, you dedicate all of your time on here to Mayweather without even realizing that's what he wants. It might be hateful foolish comments most of the time but every thread turns into a Mayweather thread, boxing doesn't revolve around one fighter but unfortunately this forum does thanks to guys like you.

People are gonna complain about the Provodnikov fight too? He's the most deserving guy unless you wanna see a Bradley rematch.

Ruslan beat Alvarado and should've beaten Bradley with the right officiating.

With that said, I don't think this fight will happen.

Completely agree. I swear if Ruslan was GB he'd be a "great opponent for Floyd coming off wins." Him and Danny Garcia are the most deserving to a Floyd/Pacquiao shot (and Tim Bradley).

That being said, I'm not sure Pac has enough left in the tank to take care of Provod. Pac is great and he's not shot and doesn't seem to be too bothered by the knockout, but he has aged and at this point in his career I'm not confident he could win that fight. He'll take some serious punishment in it win or lose.

Provod is the real deal, I don't know how many more impressive wins this guy needs to convince this lot, but he's the only one to batter Tim Bradley around and under the right ref probably would have a stoppage win over him in round 1 or 2 (whenever it was called a slip and then he fell again).

I think the thing is some guys like boxing but don't understand how it works. Fights are planned sometimes 2-3 years in advance. The networks, fighters, promoters work to build these fights.

I learned this in 03. I ran into floyd at the bhop/odh fight he said long term plan was to fight gatti. I sat next to gatti on the plane ride home. He said same thing. They fought in 05 yet knew they would be fighting more than a year earlier.

Bob hasn't survived this long by luck. I may hate him but he is smart and knows the business. He lost ODH and then saw floyd walk for $750k. He is't letting that happen again without getting paid.

Rather see Pac-Mayweather.

[Evol]

pac shouldnt be fighting anyone else except for bradley and floyd

[Boxfan7819]

when was the last time arum had a top rank fighter against golden-boy or any other promoter? provodnikov doesn't want to fight his buddy and it's a mismatch to begin with

[hitking]

And milk it he will. Right down to the last grip-squeeze drop.







That's been Bob's calling card for promoting Pac fights.

About a month before the fight he'll be saying "I still think that Pacquiao/Mayweather can be made. Just some small little details need to be worked out, like what color wallpaper will be put up in the new stadium ladies' room."





This punching bag will be more determined than Rios.





Face first fighters are on the menu at Top Rank for Manny.

Arum's moves become a lot easier to see and predict when you don't have your head stuck up Pac's ass.

[Jloro]

Stop trying to force this ****ty fight. It would be exactly what we seen against Rios except the guy might hit him back

[twosweethooks]

Totally against this fight, they are two of my favorite fighters, Arum is full of #### !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No loyalty , wretched no count greedy and don't care no more. He should go make up with Golden boy and match into their fighters, sorry scumbag !
