Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[MaskedMurderer]

Remember, if Floyd wants Manny, he gets Manny. The Bob excuse wasn't his first excuse to avoid Manny. The Bob excuse surfaced years after the first excuse. After all, the Bob excuse is just another excuse.

This right here, only a idiot will make career decisions of promise a clown (mayweather) says, look at khan dumb ass.

If pacquaio feels arum is the best route for his career, then I see no problem with him extended. Only people who cares are the idiots who believe everything mayweathers says lol.

If Pac signs extension, I want ALL Floyd haters to STFU. Pac won't only be ducking Floyd, but every GBP fighter as well. If he signs, he's ok facing fighters like alvarado and Rios, not Thurman, Floyd, maidana or even Khan. Can't be the money because I'm pretty sure GBP would match that, it's pure ducking m

"Pacquiao has never come close to earning what he could have made fighting Mayweather. His biggest payday: $25 million for his last Marquez bout. And Pacquiao’s brand has taken a hit with his recent losses. He is guaranteed to earn just $18 million from his next fight in November against Brandon Rios."

When you turn down $40 million dollars, you're ducking. Afraid of needles, need a stadium, cut is not healed, all ducking. In my heart, it is not even Manny's fault, it's Bob Arum. But since Manny is so loyal, then if it sounds like a duck, and walks like a duck...it's a duck. And what happened to Oscar's suggestion for Manny vs. Canelo? He rather fight JMM than Canelo? He don't want none of that Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman, Lucas Matthysse money? Even Adrien Broner said he'll fight Manny at any weight, at least call his bluff! DAMN Manny...WAKE UP!!

floyd is the a-side, he picks who he wants. if he wants a certain fight to happen, all he has to do is pick that person and the fight is on. - flomos

I have no problem with Manny signing an extension.

So long as part of the contract stipulates that Bob will get him that Floyd fight.

Its really simple.

Pac can tell Bob that if he cant guarantee him the Floyd fight, he will let the contract expire and try to make the fight on his own. Afterwards they can talk about an extension again.

How can Bob guarantee him the Floyd fight? Well he can make the fight happen by making Floyd an offer he cannot refuse. This would force Shaefer's hand even though he doesnt want to work with Arum, Floyd aint about to say no to a record purse. Or Arum can go through Oscar. He is the promoter, he can figure it out. That is his job.

I believe Pac should at least try out free agency if Arum cant guarantee him that fight.

"But at this moment, the fault of a fight not being made falls squarely on the shoulders of Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who, in my view, simply doesn't want to make the match at a moment when there seems to be no legitimate impediment..Arum doesn't want to match his cash cow, Pacquiao, with somebody he doesn't control, and he has no control over Mayweather. He once did, but that was years ago, before their nasty breakup." Read the whole ESPN article here:

Arum is the Puppetmaster, and Manny is his puppet.

floyd says he wont do business with arum. i havent heard the same from arum so wtf are u talking about?? LOL

[shade darkar]

lol.... nobody can defend this ****.

the fact that floyd has a problem with bob arum has no bearing on pacquiaos decision on who he wants to promote him.

floyd is the one with the problem, not pacman.
