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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Bob Arum made a joke Wednesday about closing in on his 82nd birthday and admits it’s slightly possible he misheard Ruslan Provodnikov.

But the Hall-of-Fame promoter is virtually certain Provodnikov told him in the aftermath of Manny Pacquiao’s easy victory over Brandon Rios last month that the rugged Russian brawler would fight Manny Pacquiao next year. That’s why Arum hasn’t eliminated Provodnikov as one of Pacquiao’s options for his next fight April 12 in Las Vegas, despite Provodnikov stating that his friendship with Pacquiao and the fact that they share trainer Freddie Roach would prevent them from fighting.

A crowd pleasing fight, but again, a one sided affair. Milk that cow, Bob.

better than Floyd - Pac.

Another Pacquiao drubbing - a nothing fight just like Rios - but I don't mind seeing Russell Robotnikov get a good payday for all the entertainment he's given us this year, and simply because he's such a cool dude. Plus, anytime we get to see him do this...



... it means everything is OK in the world.

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.

ruslan, i guy that arguably beat bradley and made Alvarado quit is a nothing fight?

[Los Zetas]

Arum is a disgrace.

Both don't want it...

Could be career ending fights,

Prod has been in 2 wars, Pac many.

This fight at 140 would be fireworks. Pac can easily make 140, there's nothing really left for him at 147 with this cold war going on

Two mismatches in a roll?
