Comments Thread For: Koncz Says Gamboa Added To Pacquiao's 4/12 List

[kombayn]

I think Pacman will still fight Bradley, I think Gamboa is a smoke-screen, if they fought, it would have to be at 140lbs, I don't see it working any other way. I suspect it'll be...

Tim Bradley vs. Manny Pacquiao II
Yurokis Gamboa vs. Mikey Garcia

Which isn't a bad card at all.

Man 200+ replies and no rabid Pacquaio fans. I guess even they know they can't defend this.

You're right, it sure is quiet! Bradley is probably asking for 50/50 and Manny doesn't believe he deserves it! Well if Pac fans believe Floyd was ducking Pac because he wouldn't give Pac 50/50, what is it when Pac won't fight Bradley? Now Koncz is talking Guerrero and Gamboa??? I'll watch either one so long as there is NO PPV!!!

You do realize that Tim Bradley, as good a fighter he is, has like zero fan base right?
You don't get 50/50 when you bring no money into the fight. That's just the simple economics of boxing. I like Bradley but if he asked for 50/50 he'd be laughed out of the room.

Pacman vs RIGO ...that's the news!!!

I was originally Gamboa's idea to move up. The whole point of it was to one day to have his Pacquaio dream fight. This his hardly exploitation.

Hahahahahahha!!!!!!!!! The floyd fight is khans dream fight. But I bet you laughed at that fight. So if a 112 lb fighter wanted to fight pac that would be ok? This is past sorry pac is ducking tim and all wws.

But when floyd ask to see pacs ppv #s and his residuals to justify a 50/50 split, pac fans say its ducking. So you , by your argument knows pac is ducking tim.

Manny The Ducker

Seriously?

What crap is that, Gamboa looked crap in his last fight, or at least below average. It adds nothing to his legacy just as the Prov fight doesn't.

Where is the Pac tards now????? This guy is a disgrace to the welterweight division! !!!! Most of his opponents either have to drain themselves from r come up from a lighter weight division to fight this guy. But strangely no one sees this as a problem and I for one don't get it. Pacroid isn't an ATG anything in the sport of boxing. He should be recognized for drawing, ducking, & dodging if he's recognized for anything. The guy is the poster boy for what's wrong in the sport of boxing.

Get away? Just pretend it's a rumor about Floyd fighting Khan or Maidana then you would be saying "it's not a done deal, it's just a rumor, .... bla bla, bla ...."

Floyd fought guys like that before and you still OK with who is approving of Floyd's fights right? Should Floyd be changing? Thought so!

He is saying pac should get away from rob arum because arum is ruining pacs . Reputation and his bank account. If pac had signed with haymon his bank account would be fat. And haymon wouldn't steal 30% from each fight. And khan and marcos are at least ww. Why can't pac fight a ww? He is losing credibilty fast. Arums lust for in house fights are making him rich but killing his fighters financials.

It takes two sides to make a fight...you got one side that's about the money and you have one side that's all about the power. Richard came into boxing richer than anyone in the sport..his lure was power. This is the vacuum that has emerged in GBP..Oscar went from the face of GBP to virtually a partner that makes appearances when needed. Schaeffer runs that company..Schaeffer compared himself to Arum in 2008 and Arum publicly scoffed at the notion and that's where the whole beef began. If you actually go through the archives..Arum hasn't said anything negative about Schaeffer in 7 years now..Schaeffer has expressed his dislike of Arum every chance he gets. Manny could demand all he wants and Arum could try to negotiate all he wants..it's not going to make a difference..when the man who signs the checks doesn't want the fighter he reps to fight you he ain't gonna guarantee the money.



Dude you are wrong...Marquez proved you and me wrong. Manny Pacquaio was asleep drooling on a canvas where people thought he was dead. People swore Pacqauio was done for..Pacquaio isn't the type of fighter that falls out of favor because of a loss because it's not a record that makes him a star it's his talents and his style of fighting that made him a star. As long as Pacquaio is willing to step into a ring and put it all on the line with his barrage of punches he'll still be a draw. Arum is a snake but he's an old school snake, and old school snakes only care about one thing."How much money am I getting out of this". Pacquaio losing to Floyd is just another loss on a career with several losses..only thing them fighting accomplishes for either man is that it ends the discussion on who would win. If Arum was scared about Manny taking a loss he would've killed any more Pacquaio vs Marquez fights after the 3rd fight...the 4th fight happening and it's result just speak loudly that arum is all about the money..the fact he wanted and wants a 5th fight means it's definitely about the money. No other promoter in history would've been clamoring for another fight right away versus a guy who nearly killed your boxer especially if he's trying to protect him from anything.

Your wayyyyyy past wrong. Before arum used the template for pac that he used to market cotto, as the one that floyd is scared of, pacs ppv#s were hideous. The 1st jmm fight did 350,000. The 2nd did 400,000. Pac wasn't even on the radar of the casual pinoy boxing fan. Once the talks with floyd started and arum marketed pac as the one to beat floyd and floyd is scared to death of pac, then pacs career took off. Arum knows boxing and knows floyd will out box pac into the ground. Pac is still viable because is fans think floyd is afraid of him. Once floyd destroys pac, he will become irrelevant to the casual fan. And arum makes far more money doing in house fights. Thats why after the 2nd jmm fight, pac hasn't fought outside of top rank. Arum only wants to do in house fights he keeps all the revenue generated. And arum hates richard too and puts him and gbp down at every opportunity. Your right arum only cares about money and thats why he will never allow pac to get beat up by floyd. Putting on a mega fight requires mega bucks and mega revenue sharing, in house fights require very little up front money, he keeps the revenue and he pays pac what he feels like paying him. Minus the 30% off the top he puts away for the irs LoL. Rob arum making dollars R.A.M.D.
