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

[Francis M.]

Floyd and PAC are gonna have to fight each other with out too much BS demands....

Both fighters are similar in PPV #s but both are Under a million....

they will either take paycuts or retire soon enough...

People aren't interested anymore and it's showing in the PPV.

that's what im guessing...it was probably something PAC couldn't turn down

Doubt it. Pacquaio doesn't even CHOOSE his own opponents. Arum pretty much pairs him up with whoever he deems fit. Pacquaio doesn't even choose who he's going to do random drug testing with. If Arum says it's NSAC, it's NSAC. If Arum says no drug testing, there's no drug testing. If Arum says... Pacquaio does...

In my opinion, I think Arum has something over on Pacquaio. Keep in mind, some of us know that Pacquaio has been 'borrowing' money from Arum. Getting advances on his purses, getting loans so he can donate to charity, etc.

Not really. Remember Alvarez was originally signed to another Promoter. There was a lawsuit and Golden Boy has to pay up X amount of cash.

Canelo publicly stated his loyalty to Oscar, regardless. Good news is that he isn't swayed by that Haymon parasite. He probably doesn't want those Watson weasels near him anyway.

are you the guy that does the interviews or are you just using that name on the forums?

[jlcelestine]

Let's forget about the Mayweather fight as a reason he shouldnt sign with TR again. Just for a second.

The guy is basically begging to fight JMM for a 5th time. a FIFTH TIME! 3 out of his last 4 fights have been 900k or less in PPV. Are these facts not a testament that he is out of good options at Top Rank? Is this not evidence that he needs to try and be a free agent??? I am not saying take a crap on Bob Arum, but keep your damn options open!!!

[ox805er]

I answere your concerns point by point......your come back was I believe everyone is wrong but I was only answering your concerns with facts. You are in denial and who was Pacs promoter (you said Arum got him off the streets) you were wrong. then you throw around more lies to cover up the previous ones and make bs statements. REAL Pac People know he was with another promoter b4 Arum. Plain and simple stuff but you come back with more bs. You were caught and exposed trying to spread a bunch of LIES! Just calling you guys out.....HAVE A GOOD DAY

now you're just being incompetent.. I'd check if I was arguing with the same poster.. before I said anything.. smh!!

I'm thinking Pacquiao is indebted to Arum and this was the best option to pay off his debts.

[hitking]

The fact is, Pac is at a stage in his career where he doesn't need a promoter. He could easily have opted to work with Arum on a fight-by-fight basis like Floyd does with GBP and Cotto does with Arum and chose not to. And by doing so closed the door on the fight he supposedly wants most. Maybe he feels comfortable with TR. So does Cotto. But Cotto was willing to leave TR for a night to get the fight he wanted. Manny could have easily done the same but chose otherwise. I know I know. Floyd is scared sh1load of Manny and wouldn't fight him anyway. But before all this "Floyd is scared of Manny" nonsense started. Floyd was "scared" of Cotto too. Let that marinate for a minute.

[GOD-FR33]

Hmmmm.........

So, I was wrong about Manny going INDIE. It has to be more to it than what we've read about this new deal. He's worth too much to resign for nothing. I have a feeling that Oscar, Manny, and Bob are up to something good for the sport. He'll fight someone he's never fought before and it's going to be HUGE! This deal could be a good thing. We all know that Manny will fight ANYONE BUT as long as it's not a 5th fight with Roidquez or Bradley, I am up for it. He should try and unify with Porter or fight Maidana to out do Floyd's mediocre performance. That fight will break 1million, guaranteed! Otherwise, there isn't anyone else worthy right now. A win over the aforementioned names puts Manny even further up the ATG list. I already have him at #er 5!

now you're just being incompetent.. I'd check if I was arguing with the same poster.. before I said anything.. smh!!

touche,,,,,,,,,,,,but you answered me directly with the same screen name, so im gonna think that it was you, and by you trying to LIE AGAIN i know its you. now go and have a good day (i.e. stop digging a deeper hole and stfu) bye bye.
