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

[Evol]

So because he did it, that means it was his best option? Why are u arguing that nonsense. He signed with TR and GB at the same time, was that his best option?

I know 1+1=2
I know that he could get plan similar to what Floyd has and make much more money like ODH, Floyd and Cotto did.
I know he could have good a good manager and advisor handling most of the business.
I know that AT LEAST exploring your options gives you in business gives you a better view or your worth in the market.
I know he could make more money than what he is making
I know he could be his own man.
I know he could then make the fights that he says he wants to make...the ones "for the fans".
I know that he wouldn't give 27% to Rob Arum.
I know that we wouldn't be seeing Pac vs. Algieri

Floyd mentioned that he has lots of investments and he is well taken care of outside of boxing. I have to find the interview.

Do u know his contract deal? How do u know its a bad deal? Seriously u're arguing about a contract and a deal that someone signed that u have no clue about lol. U need to Rethink all this over again lol. U're assuming PAC will gt a better deal elsewhere. Keyword: assuming lol!!!!

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.

This is the truth. PAC is not exactly business savvy. And doesn't want to deal with anything else.

He's content with his guaranteed purses, and his relationship with Top Rank.

People/athletes like familiarity, like what is known to them. Some posters here like Megadeth think they absolutely know what it's in a boxer's best interest.

Ha...absurd.

I'll give you an "E" for effort. It's useless. They don't think the same way as most people. You and I know, that if Manny went with Haymon, he would have the choice of Guerrero, Khan, Alexander, Thurman, Porter, Maidana, and Mayweather. If Mayweather were to say he didn't want to fight him, #1 the controversy would be over, and #2 he would still have all the other choices. Either way, it was a win-win. The choice NOT to do it means he was cool with the stable of fighters at TR, just like "he likes this fight."

The best fight can't be made and it's pac's fault? How old are again, really? So why don't u push and cry and complain for the other fighters to become a free agent so "u" can get the fights u want? Why blame one person?

If manny feels he's getting a good deal with TR why should he venture out just so "u" can be happy? How much have u invested on manny? Hell u even said ur not gonna but this fight so why should manny put himself and his family's future on hold just so he can make "u" happy by venturing out?

Lets see...if Pac has the option to make more money, make better fights and be his own man and instead of even EXPLORING those options, he simply signs TR and we continue to get in house fights, then, who's at fault? Floyd?? You are so silly with ur argument...There are 2 fighters at the top.....Floyd and Pac....to compare other fighters is just nonsense cuz none of them make anywhere near the money, have as much pull or clout that those two do. So why are u even bringing up all fighters. We are talking about the elite 2 money makers...Good thing you don't DEFEND PAC, huh? Hate to see if u did.

I didn't say make ME happy....PAC said he is about pleasing the fans did he not? Funny you would be absolutely CRUCIFYING Floyd if this were him. With Pac, you defend him til the end. If you were a real fan of his, you would want him to get away from a snake like Arum who everyone knows is robbing him blind instead of defending it.

[megadeth]

In other words the packlas are saying if Manny is looking for the best money for the least risk, Manny is just being a smart business man and doing the best for himself and not for the sport or his fans. If Floyd does it his a coward and a scum of a human being

^^^^^^This

I think you're exaggerating how bad of an opponent Algieri is.

He beat the highly touted Provodnikov and is tall and rangy, this could very well go all wrong for team Pac.

[megadeth]

Oh my we need the GOAT junior gong up in here!!

The Big Dung and megadeth with their tongues firmly lodged up Floyd's farter no matter what again

I don't know how my tongue got firmly lodged in Floyd when I am debating Pac and his decision...but ok, whatever! I won't knock u fantasizing about 3 guys doing those things to each other. To each his own!

[Evol]

No actually you defending Pac until the end. Let me ask you? Would I be foolish to say that a bank robber made a bad decision when he robbed a bank, got caught and is now doing 30 years? I'm not him, so how could I...right? Cuz that's ur logic here.

Yes u're foolish to even bring up a bank robber and compare it to manny buahahahaha!!

Not trying to pick on you, but I would like to know, from someone who thought Algeri beat Provodnikov: Did you feel Lara beat Canelo?

I don't, do you? But that doesn't stop you from defending it, even though you and I know that the smart thing to do would've been to at least explore if he could've gotten a better deal. Why are we even arguing that point?? You have the most ******ed argument here. You are condemning me for doing the very same thing that you are doing. The only difference is that I WANTED Pac to find the best deal, to make the most money and to be in charge of his own career and u are defending the fact that he didn't even explore that option. You don't need to ASSUME anything when u explore the option and you are defending the fact that he didn't do that. Pathetic....

Bottom line is my argument makes sense while yours doesn't...so maybe YOU should rethink.
