Comments Thread For: Arum Aims To Finalize Pacquiao's Opponent on Saturday

[zalcups@yahoo.c]

if arum decided or advice manny to fight provodnikov thats bul**hit.
again i advice manny if bradley fight will not happen i think manny should retire.
provodnikov vs. pacquiao definitely will not sale. also pacquiao vs khan. i think manny has two more fight left because of his age. manny is slowing down as i saw in his last five fights againts mosley,marquez 3,bradley,marquez 4,rios. IF AGAINTS BRADLEY OR MAYWEATHER WILL NOT HAPPEN IT'S BETTER FOR HIM TO HANG HIS GLOBE.

Your always on here being a blow hard who wants to make himself look grand but never want to offer any proof to back up his statements. How do you know he got 18 million? For 1 that fight did approximately 487k ppv. If you think he got 18 million off those numbers then you are deluded. 2, arum takes 30% of pacs purse, roach gets 12%, oscar gets 10% arum said he takes another 30% to put aside for taxes (lol) those figures dont include what he pays koncs or his entourage. 3, he has borrowed money from 2 different groups, refused to pay them back and is facing multiple law suits. 4, he had to sell his los Angeles property. 5 koncs went on record stating his concern about pac going broke in the near future. 6, he should leave arum and become financially independent just like floyd and oscar did. 7, arum has his own interest upfront and pacs almost last. Pac should leave arum he will make far more money. There is my rebuttal to your post.

It's official...YOU ARE A STRAIGHT . You in here talking about this man's money like you know what he pays arum, roach, koncz, the allowance he gives his kids, the amount he pays the dog walker, how many times he makes it rain on the poor or some shhhh. That's some straight gossip shhhh..what's the site called? Boxing Scene....not Financial Scene...Not WSJ Financial Section...Certainly not bankruptcy 101. Who gives a flying fk what another man is worth? That shhh buying you food? Keeping the lights on for you? Paying your car note? He paying for your kids medical insurance? No...oh well so again tell me what do you really know about this man's finances first hand. Even if you did wtf does it have to do with his next opponent? I'm the one acting GRAND? Really because apparently i'm the one in here demonizing a man for his FINANCES in a forum for SPORT...but ok..if that works for you cuz. I'm glad you found something in life worth doing...

These are the two most dangerous fighters out there for Pacquiao

Bradley and Prov beat everyone at 140 and 147 on GBP and that includes floyd

[mrjoeblive]

So let me get this straight...somehow a guy with one punch KO power is a less risky fight than a guyh who could hit you with the kitchen sink but can't ko you? By what logic? Seriously...as long as Pacquaio doesn't get KO'd again he will remain an option for Floyd.

Again disagree. If bradley out boxes pac and makes him look ordinary or if there is another controversial win, it would hurt demand for the mayweather fight. Much like the last 1 did. I have to laugh at some of you who swear pac schooled tim or dominated tim. The judge that had pac wining only had him by 2 rounds. Thats hardly domination.

That's fine for you to say..I respect and accept your disagreement. Thank you for stating it so eloquently. For the record I do not think Pacquaio schooled Bradley but I do believe he beat him.

I hope he fights Provodnikov. If He picks Alvarado, I hope he officially retires from boxing.

[Nay_Sayer]

Ok...i'll break this down right quick. What was Pacquaio's undoing versus Marquez? Familiarity. Marquez knew what to look for. So a guy who spent more time in the ring with Manny than Marquez is somehow less risky than a guy who you are guaranteed to end the fight on your feet against?

WTF?!?

Are you brain dead - or is it just an act?

Putting Provodnikov's name in the same sentence as Marquez' name is blasphemous against the Boxing Gods.

Marquez is arguably the best fighter Mexico has ever produced - and that speaks VOLUMES. Provodnikov, OTOH, is a sparring partner. Dare I say Provodnikov isn't 1/3 the fighter that Marquez is - even @ 40 years old.

It's painfully obvious that YDKSAB...

Did I compare the two? No I used their time in the ring with Pacquaio that was the only comparison "TIME"...you know rounds....3 minutes times however many rounds. Marquez is not the best fighter Mexico produced..sorry buddy. He's up there but none of ya'll were saying that shhh two years ago and all he's gotten in that time frame was a KO. He's an amazing fighter..by all means a very gifted man. If you are the type to put emotions into your discussion there is zero point in this. Provodnikov has fought the best Pacquaio there was just as long if not more rounds than Marquez fought Pacquaio. There is a danger in guys who know your weaknesses, although they may have plenty themselves they know yours. Pacquaio's vulnerabilities are hard for an opponent during a fight to figure out so he gets away with his pop and move. Marquez and Provodnikov are fighters...they recognize vulnerabilities...the more chances you give a fighter in experience versus you the more likely you are to get your @ss handed by them. But ok..I guess if me and you went like 50 rounds at the end of 50 rounds I wouldn't know how to fight you better than some guy you may have spent 12 total rounds against? Explain that to me.

[sosiqwitit]

I hope it's Ruslan...but I'm curious how Pacquiao vs Bradley would play out without his broken ankle.

who the hell you think gave him that broken ankle. if he fights pac he'd probably break that ankle again.
