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

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Arum doesnt feel bad at all, neither does koncz. its freddie that i question, does that man have a heart at all. surely he knows it would have been better even business wise to be a free agent

Cotto is at that gym...aren't they supposed to be buddies now? he can't give a lil advice about free agency?


i'm really disappointed...why sign an extension when he can do a fight by fight deal with any promoter?

i wish someone back home would assasinate Koncz

damn, now we are gonna get garbage recycled fights unless bob works with golden boy. Id really like to see pac face other opponents.

Honestly, business wise and career wise, it would've been better if Pacquaio were a free agent. Like Miguel Cotto. Where he is free to bounce between networks (HBO and Showtime) and promoters (Top Rank and Golden Boy).

How is that a fact? Cotto isn't earning half of what pacquaio is as a free agent...they tried to entice him with $10 million to pass up on martinez in order to fight Canelo which means that $10 million is as far as any company is willing to go with Cotto. Everybody can't be mayweather, we can't sit here and say he could earn more money because that isn't a fact, it's a possibility one with no guarantees..Floyd got his because he was a chess piece in the overall landscape of showtime doing business with GBP. Pacquiao doesn't have that same situation.

de la hoya and arum arent working together. not with haymon managing 90% of the gbp roster. please stop being delusional.

That's not what Oscar and Bob say.

Haymon is a roadblock but Floyd was a much bigger one in terms of making the Pac-FMJ fight, you only have to listen to his constant excuse-making, so it's irrelevant.

Its not like Pac-Floyd was guarenteed to happen anyway if he left. And If Oscar and Bob are down to work together, maybe we see Pac against some golden boy fighters.

Pretty much.

Let's see about Pacquiao/Canelo.

[Joshua Child]

Seriously, Mikey ducked Gamboa, and should be fighting Rigondeaux, Donaire, and Santa Cruz. Mikey ain't ready for the bigger guys.

Obviously. Let's see what happens with Gamboa vs Crawford. If Crawford wins I see him as a more probable great for the future of boxing than Mikey Garcia at this point. It's still early though.

That's about 4-5 fights, Mikey will retire this fool in 2 fights.

Which Mikey, the one getting dropped at 130? Lmao the dude wont even fight Gamboa.

lol. thats not what oscar and bob said??? lol. promoters dont get fighters to sign fight agreements. managers do. bob arum does not work with al haymon. please, seriously. stop being delusional.

So dissapointed in Pacs post prime career

He has NO ONE else to fight other than JMM

If 41 yr old JMM says no, who is he fighting?

Floyd may cherypick but at least it's a different guy.

Lame.

Pac t a r d s arent you bored?

Provodnikov.

do you believe the roadblocks were one sided? or just place the vast majority of blame on floyds side?
