Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[badass316]

So I guess this means no Pacquiao-Floyd since not being associated with Arum is stipulation #142B by Floyd.

Pac don't want it, never did... We all know of a case like this of someone in our lives, you know somebody that's getting screwed and is too ****** to know it and everybody see's it except the person getting screwed, or maybe they just don't want to see it...

Forget about Floyd for a minute.

This is a dumb move for Pacquiao because he doesn't let other promoters compete for his services. More competition means more options and more money.

Manny knows that Arum is a low life. Let me make this clear. I don't or will not say Manny has or does us ped's. I personally believe that Manny is very prideful. He has seen first hand, how arum has taken to the media. Making disparaging remarks about fighters, who no longer fight for him. I thinking he signing with Arum for the sake of his family. I don't think he wants his personal or business short comings to be lambaste. No matter how true or unfounded they are. Just like he loved Floyd and Oscar one day and crucifying them the next.

[QUOTE=BIGPOPPAPUMP;14479826]Top Rank promoter Bob Arum claims a five fight contract extension with his prized possession, “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao, is almost done.

Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard - “We’ve pretty well agreed on all points. I’m getting it wrapped up with Michael Koncz (Pacquiao’s adviser who is in the US) and then he’s going to take it to the Philippines for Manny’s signature.”

Pacquiao is one ****** mofo!

It's really a shame Pac lacks the common sense to become his own boss, and stop giving this crook almost 30% of his purse off top...his "advisor" is friends with Arum, brought in by Arum, so he's not truly looking out for Pac..sadly Pac may retire broke..once he pays the huge amount he owes IRS, he will virtually have nothing, and will be forced to get yet another loan from Rob Arum..smh

[mrjoeblive]

I don't see anything wrong with this

Pacquiao is willing to fight anybody ex. Oscar, Hatton, JMM

If those suckers at GBP who are getting $3 mill max want a shot at Pacquiao than do like Tim Bradley and sign with Top Rank. They pay the best and Tim Bradley would know.

1 mill for Casamayor
5 mill for Pacquiao 1
2 mill for Prov
3 mill for JMM
6 mill for Pacquiao 2

This dude is making more than everyone at 140 and 147 on GBP combined

1st pac isnt willing to fight anyone. He flat out said hells no and he is too good when ducking yuri forman. Plus multiple other fighters. Pac re signing with top rank will continue to put him in the poor house. He under paid. If hewas with Haymon he wouldn't have to ask for advances and loans from arum.

It's HBO or Showtime. That's it. Showtime already spent their bread on Floyd. HBO still has plenty of Game of Thrones money.

But, from a future fights standpoint, this is straight up bull****.

[KING MEAT]

Well it's almost official; the Pac-Floyd fight will almost never happen now. Bob wont let it be.

dude.

that fight died indefinitely 2 years ago.

you must be new to boxing.

Has it occurred to you that he might just be content with his 20+ million plus ppv plus whatever raise came with it which by all account is a lot MORE that anyone on this forum will ever see in their lifetime? By the way, he lives in the Philippines so that kind of money is a hell of a lot more. Just can't understand why people are so concerned about another man's money. SMFH. Problems or not, I don't think anyone on here has ever bailed Manny out. By the way, if you think this hinders a Floyd, you must be flat out ******ed. The fight was never going to happen and if it is to happen, this is no hurdle by any means.
