Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Top Rank Extend Contract To December 2016

Pacquiao vs Bradley III, Pacquiao vs Marquez V, Pacquiao vs Vargas, etc.

Wonderful....

Manny staying with Arum in 2006 didn't look so bad when he was fighting Marquez II, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, and eventually Bradley.

But since 2010, aside from Bradley, he's basically killed any chance of making his legacy even stronger. I mean by the end of this, it will have been 6 years in a row of mostly all bad/meh fights.

How much stronger can the legacy an 8 division champion and fighter of the decade be?

LMAO...i've given up on people using common sense on this site. The dislike of particular fighters clouds their judgement greatly. I'd love to see anyone here leave a guaranteed paycheck for "the possibility of maybe, someday earning the same at another job". Manny should do this, he should do that. I'd love to see these same people apply that same logic towards their own livelihood. Let's forget it's boxing where one punch can take you from earning millions to earning a few hundred thousand. Oh and to the idiots saying this guy should leave his promoter to get one single fight...Would you leave your wife to bone a chick once? Would you chop your own arm off in hopes of getting a robotic one? If they are going to fight the promoter doesn't matter, has never mattered and will never matter...If the shoe was on the other foot I doubt half the people on here would be saying yeah i'ma leave these guaranteed $20 million bucks 2 times a year to go gamble it all.

Yeah because Arum wouldn't take him back after the Mayweather fight. And win lose or draw there wouldn't be a rematch. Lastly He wouldn't be able to get a similar deal anywhere else huh. This guy has been cheated out of a lot of his money, doesn't know how much he actually earned, and is going back to the source of these problems. Thats an idiot

Very true the only fight Pac needs to enchance it is with Mayweather and thats it! Guys talk about Matthyse, Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Maidana...?
But wasnt it Timothy Bradley who was just ranked #3 p4p by media and Pac just beat him? so what can those other guys on a lower rank add to pacs legacy?
The only thing that can help too is KOing Marquez in the 5th as revenge like Lennox Lewis did to Hasim Rahman

Hmm I thought Pacquiao didn't fight for the money. Interesting...

[chicano box]

Bob Arum is gonna keep pimping facquiao till 2016.

This will be another excuse for Mayweather to avoid Pacquiao. Mayweather is making a big mistake running away from Pacquiao "You can not be great without fighting the greatest".

At the end of his career Floyd's just going to say, "I made more money than anyone in the history of boxing, that makes me the greatest".

IMHO Pac is just protecting himself, if he can not get the floyd fight at least TR got his back....

anyway I am hoping for a coop between TR and GBP, with the main target a fight with floyd
