Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[kamikaze_ero]

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.

Who's yuri?was he the one flattened by cotto...pac fought cotto, margarito,de lahoya,,,marquez,hatton,morales,barrera,mosley, you say he's ducking yuri?where's yuri now? No one wants pac to fight a nobody like yuri...maybe floyd

What sickens me is that this is supposed to be a BOXING SITE, not a business site. When does purses, contracts and bosses matter as long as the fighter fights and happy?

Free agent or not, if Floyd wants Manny, he gets Manny. QUACK QUACK

Factually incorrect. Pac only fights top rank fighters. Its hard for most to recall the last time pac fought a non top rank fighter. It was the 2nd jmm fight if im not mistaken. After that fight jmm signed with arum and every fighter after that had to sign with top rank. Shane sold his stake in gbp to throwa fight for 5 million. I bet he wish he had kept his stake in gbp. All you dudes with the quack quack crap are blinded by arum and continue to drink the top rank cool aid. Pac only fights top rank fighters so how would floyd get the fight? He will never sign with top rank. Or allow arum to be the sole promoter of the fight.

I know, its a tragic comedy. They always say, "boxing is a business". But every time I ask them what part of the business section I can read about boxing, I never hear from them again. Boxing fans in the 80s and 90s, never, ever talked about purses, and contracts, and negotiations, ever. Because boxing fans watched boxing for the sport, not to see who makes the most money. Nowadays, everyone is a financial adviser, company ceo, and pharmaceutical expert all rolled into one. Every time I've been to a live fight, I've never heard one person talking about purses, contracts or who has the most money in the bank. Its always about what goes on in the ring.

But it was all ok when you dudes were talking about floyds tax trouble or floyd going to jail. That was ok. But since floyd is the top earning athlete 2 yrs running soon to be 3, and pac is begging and borrowing, now its we should only talk boxing. Fans in the 80s were kept in the dark about purses thats why so many of those fighters are broke. They had no clue how much they generated. Todays fighters know the numbers and want adequate compensation. Nothing wrong with that.

Do I sneak a gun in my luggage or do you have one for me. Nah, I'm actually very proud of how Chicago is getting their act together. It's a huge step in the right direction.

Who came up with the first excuse? Floyd.
Who said he's loyal to HBO? Floyd.
Who jumped ship to Showtime? Floyd
Who came up with the Bob excuse years after the first excuse? Floyd.
Who thinks Maidana is a threat to Floyd? Floyd.

Keep piling on your delusions. Floyd is in the position to offer Manny something credible for one fight.

Aw, you hold grudges? I said sorry to you in the other thread for bruising your ego. Where's the love, buddy?

Not even mad at cha. Never was. It was funny to me. I guess someone took it too hard. Should I lmao? Or will that hurt your feelings?

Nah not at all, I just thought I'd return the favor in this one. Alls fair my friend.

Yeah man. Chicago's not as bad as the media portrays it. It's like every other place. Just gets the attention because it's rough in certain areas, but where isn't it rough?

You'll be cool. But yeah, bring that gun anyways. Never know.
