Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Algieri Being Finalized, Manny Likes It

[PacmanP4PLegend]

The planned WBO welterweight title defense of Manny Pacquiao against WBO light welterweight champion Chris Algieri is being finalized for November 22 at the Cotai Arena of the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Macau.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard/Viva Sports

“Everything is being finalized. I even talked to Manny this morning (Tuesday in Mania) and everything is fine.” [Click Here To Read More]

Whatever Bob, what about all the other fighters with better resumes who have been calling PAC out for a long time?? You're completely ignoring them. Chris is gonna get his a$$ beat here in a few months are either retire or go on with a career something comparable to joshua "grandmaster daddy of nobody's" clottey... Smh

We debated this very issue b4 and u were defending Pac all the way. Unless I am mistaken and I don't think I am, I will go back and find the posts later. You always seem to "explain" why Pac does what he does, when he does it, whenever he is criticized, even if u don't know it as a fact? That isn't defending him? Yet when the show is on other boxers feet, you don't have those same explanations. Hell no I wouldn't resign if I was Pac. Why would I have Arum take 27% of my money when I could go with a plan like Haymon has and keep almost all of it. Do u REALLY think Floyd is involved in the day to day running of his business? I am pretty sure he has people doing that for him. As you can see, Floyd has many many interests outside boxing and it works for him.

You don't even know how this will work out for him. As far as we know, he still has tax issues over his head. So why would he not maximize his profits while he is in boxing? On what planet doesn't this make sense to u?? Invest more time? Ever hear of managers?

So we should criticized manny for not looking elsewhere?? How old are u? No matter what I say it's not gonna change ur view on this until manny goes and look elsewhere. Why is this so important to u? If he's happy where he's at what's the point of looking elsewhere? Why are u so sprung up on this?

And if u think I'm defending him by explaining to u why manny resigned with TR then it is what it is.. How do u know where manny's financial is at right now? U talk like ur his banker or something lol. I'm sure PAC thought about all his tax problems, etc before resigning with TR and I'm sure he felt this was the best route to take. Why are u acting like u know more than him? lol

What does this have to do with making as much money while you are in boxing as you can? I don't see the correlation between the two. Also, as far as I know, Floyd has lots of investments away from boxing. No one is asking Pac to promote...I am just saying he should've made the best move for himself financially and his fans(making the best fights) and signing with TR WITHOUT even testing the waters wasn't in his or the fans best interest. Can anyone really argue the point that he couldn't make more money with business plan like Floyds fighting guys like Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Khan and Floyd than fighting under TR going against Provo, Vargas, Algieri and Alvarado? Come on now!

Pac doesnt have the smarts to branch out on his own. That's the plain and simple truth. This is why he chooses to stick with TR. $20mil guarantee per fight + ppv upside to Pac is much easier than having to market himself and promote, etc... His only focus is on training and fighting while everyone else handles the business aspect of it.

I MIGHT ACTUALLY GO FIND ALGERI AT THE LOCAL GYM AND TAKE HIM OUT JUST SO THIS DOES NOT GET MADE !

this not only is a terrible fight but could potentially damage pacs legacy

No... You don't know $#iT. A bunch of free agents don't even bother looking at other teams.

Being from Toronto, the Raptors resigned 3 of their players.

Lowry, Patrick Patterson, and Vasquez.

Lowry, only looked at Houston I think. He didn't even bother meeting with Miami even if they had interest. Patterson and Vasquez didn't bother looking at other teams.

Why? Because they liked the situation here.

Keep coming at me... What I'm saying is common sense. You just sound foolish.

If an athlete is happy with a situation, many don't bother looking elsewhere.
Tim Bradley didn't even bother looking elsewhere either. Why? Timmy says he was happy how Top Rank treated him and he made a lot of money with them.

An athlete, whether boxer or not, looks out for their best interests. $$$ is not the whole story.

I am not the one looking foolish when you are comparing the Algieri's of the NBA to Pac in boxing. If you can't figure out why it's not even close to the same thing, then you are not even worth my time debating.

You are REALLY gonna sit there and mention best interest? Arum has Pacs best interest at heart? You make zero sense. Who was it again that was taking care of Pac's taxes again??

Not to mention. again Pac said time and again, "HE FIGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE". Do the people want to see the fights that can be made in house with Top Rank or what can be made with Pac as a free agent? I rest my Case!

Terrible fight.... should not be ppv.

And resigning with TR was the best option to him! Why are u arguing about this? Are u manny? Lol. What type of other investment does Floyd have outside of boxing?

Casino chips?

I am criticizing him because the best fights can't be made, because he didn't look elsewhere? How hard is that to understand? I don't know where his financials are right now, just as u don't. Yeah? He thought about his taxes? Ok good for him. Did he think about the fights that could possibly be made? That might be a consideration as well don't u think. Especially for someone who "fights for the fans"!

So you are telling me that you don't know that the ELITE...#2 PPV fighter in the world shouldn't AT LEAST explore other offers to see where the best deal is, before signing on the dotted line? I hope you are not silly enough to say he shouldn't......and in the same breath say you are not defending him.

Actually u're looking foolish arguing about how bad of a decision one individual made as if u're him or something lol.
