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

[mrjoeblive]

Unlike Floyd pac going for some tough compition ! Nothing against maidana but I highly doubt Floyd will take that fight . I have a feeling arum pulled manny aside and said Top Rank is going to sh** ,I need your help pac by fighting someone that people are wanting to see.

No body wanted to see the rios fight. I bet he dont fight bradley again far too risky. He's going to put on a sparring match with rushlan. Wish he would fight some real fights. This bs is really burting pacs brand as evidenced by the shi.ty ppv vs rios. Arum will make a killing by continuing with the in house fights. Arum gets richer, pac goes bankrupt faster. Pac should leave arum.

[Nay_Sayer]

No way in hell does Bradley get the nod. Not gonna happen. Pacquiao's handlers know that fight ends up in another Pacquiao LOSS and no Mayweather payday. Besides that, the first fight did **** PPV #s and the rematch will be no different. Provodnikov will get the call as he fits the mold of the fighter Pacquiao looks good against [ie comes straight ahead, doesn't know what a jab is, no defense].

You always on here complaining about this cat...he's got his options. Floyd has his. The civil war between the promoters is the issue..so blame those men not the ahteletes. Also w t f do you know about Pacquaio's finances outside of some report you read. This shhh always makes me laugh....the IRS gives zero information on something pending resolution. Dude just earned $18 million bucks for fighting "nobody wants to see" Rios. But ok...He should leave arum? Why? He was earning shhhhhh before Arum..and again just made $18 million bucks...do you know how many motherflowers on earth would sell their mothers for just one $18 million dollar fight?

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.

damn this Pac haters here are so fn ridiculous. they though Bradley won the fight even after the whole MGM Vegas crowd booed, CJ Ross stepped down, the whole WBO voted unanimously that Pacquiao won but couldnt over turn it;
hell even Floyd Mayweather Sr & Roger thought Pacquiao won the damn fight.

so anyone here think bradley won the fight clearly did not graduate high school
dont get me wrong though it made up for Marquez 3 when marquez got robbed

Rios is a bigger puncher than Bradley but Tim wasn't Pacquiao's opponent in his last fight.

Yes, Provodnikov is a LESS risky fight. Tim knows how to BOX and has excellent defense. Guys who know how to BOX are gonna make Pacquiao look BAD and more than likely BEAT him @ this stage of his career. Provodnikov, OTOH, has shlt for boxing skills and is the kind of fighter, like Rios, who traditionally Pacquiao looks good against. Power means NOTHING if you can't find the target and I doubt that Provodnikov lays a glove on Pacquiao. This will be the Rios fight all over again - $60 to watch Pacquiao spar a human heavy bag. No thanks, I bought the last one but I'll pass this time...

both are risky fights. pacman is older now, even though he schooled bradley the first time. bradley has improved since then

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? The only thing on earth that could get people to stop asking for a manny vs floyd fight would be another KO...which Bradley ain't getting. Nobody asked you to buy it, i'm always laughing at folks about that. Shhhh last I saw an actual card that I was willing to pay ppv for? Shhhh so long I can't remember. When something wets my apetite I buy it, my answer if it sucks let's stream mofo's...so complaining about it ain't gonna change it. Bradley VS Pacquaio was entertaining...I think Bradley is becoming more offensive minded considering he went toe to toe with Ruslan and survived it but the entire issue last time was him fighting on his back foot the whole fight..he's going to want to silence the critics once and for all and he can't do that on his back foot..so to get what he wants he's going to have to fight forward as well. Bradley to me is super compelling because the winner of that fight has the right to challenge Floyd...Especially Bradley if Bradley wins it.

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.
