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

[Phenom]

well at least he is not fight the loser of Alvarado vs Provodnikov

im sure there cool with each other but i didnt know they were close friends. i have never seen pics of them out together or anything like that they dont even speak the same language so im not sure how close they could be. roach will train pac but he wasnt even in the corner or really didnt train prov for his last fight. prov needs to get that money!

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.

people complain about any pac or mayweather opponent

[Cinci Champ]

i want to see pac bradley personally i think both fighters are owed that after how the first one screwed both of them really not just pac. I think bradley will win second fight and we all know what will happen either way no matter who wins when they fight a 3rd time

[techliam]

he beat bradley IMO by a wide margin so the rematch really isn't needed. he has a return date of april 12th when floyd has a date of may 5th.

so its provodnikov. provodnikov beat alvarado, who beat rios, manny's last opponent.

Exactly. Provodnikov-Pacquiao is a great fight. Provo arguably beat Bradley (though it is split on that one) and destroyed Alvarado. With Pac already beaten Bradley in 99% of peoples eyes, I think it's a good fight. You can make a case for Provodnikov not losing any of his fights, but the Bradley fight was definitely a split down the middle. If Pac wins clearly, it's a pretty good win.

This at 140 for his WBO title would be good. But as Provodnikov has already looked decent against Bradley at 147, I don't mind either way. There's nothing really to suggest he's any better/worse at either weight

It will be an exciting fight. Very Fan pleasing. NO snooze fest thats for sure. But i really dont want the fight to happen. I am a big fan of Ruslan..as Manny also. But i know Manny will win. Id love to see Ruslan go on a winning streak after Alverado. Not take a win and then a loss. He has so many names out there he can fight.

Two mismatches in a roll?

Better than Floyd-Khan

[invanex]

Ruslan doesnt want to fight Pac coz he felt he owe both manny and roach big time.

It's really amazing that this prick Arum always appears to care about money and nothing else. Roach doesn't want it, the 2 don't want it because they're friends. But the fight that really needs to be made, Mayweather-Pacquiao, isn't happening because of him. If you can't retire Arum, please jump off a bridge.

That said, its probably better if Floyd-Pac doesn't happen immediately anyway. Floyd's gonna be Floyd. And what I mean by that is that I'm confident he takes care of business regardless of who he fights in May and Sept. As for Pac, he's had a rough past couple years. And right now, all he has is a win over Brandon Rios. Pac's TR deal expires at the end of next year. If Pac can beat a guy like Provo in Apr and then later in the year, beat an elite guy like Bradley or JMM. Then we can truly say Pac is back and the Floyd-Pac showdown will be close to as meaningful as it was before Pac had that rough patch.
