Comments Thread For: Forget “Money” drama, Bob: Make these fights for Manny

[MRCHOKEaMF]

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: ARUM HAS BEEN PROMOTING FIGHTS BEFORE DELAHOYA AND FLOYD WAS BORN, GOING UP AGAINST THE LIKES OF DON KING, WHAT DO YOU THINK HE LEARNED FROM KING? How to give a fair deal? Of course not, what can you assume he thinks of his primary rival who used to work for him? well we already know he's made that clear in countless interviews. Now he has to negotiate against TWO guys he used to swindel on a regular bases and NOW he's supposed to go into negotiations and youre supposed to think Arum is going into negotiations for the biggest money fight in HISTORY and he's not going to use EVERY trick in the book and some new ones to get more money out of it than his previous fighters, this is to be straight, a ***ish lawyer going against a Mexican american, and african american representing a Filipino fighter . you can scream racism but when you look at it

Algieri flinched at the feints? Did you see Bradley 2? Tim threw his whole body weight at PAC's feints..

I personally hated Bradley 2. Tim fought like anyone but Time Bradley. If you're a boxer and ther superior boxer in the rin, BOX smh. He should be ashamed of that fight, becuase he was a very live dog that went out the like he had something to prove, but didn't.

Nice Lyle, its not often I agree with you, but I surely do with this.

all three tough fights, the latter two more than the former.

As an optimist I would like to think the Pac vs Money will be in May to thwart the Cotto and Canelo ppv sales but that is not the real issue Ever with me, actual money is out of this world on these big fights and I do NOT grade a great fighter by how wealthy he is, I grade a great fighter on whether he will hunt down the best and fight him, fight the best to stay the best, take on ALL comers.

As a realist, based on history, I don't see the dude nicked named money without unrealistic demands that thwart the fight.

The three fights would be the best against the very best and I applaud that !

im a pac fan but im sorry, that fight was pathetic.

algieri was flinching at pac's feints. the crowd was laughing about it when it happened.

that was an abomination of a fight. aglieri had no business being in the same ring as pacquiao.

even the excessive glove tapping was pathetic and it should be banned in boxing.

that was an embarrassing fight and an embarrassing opponent selection for pacquiao.

I think everyone agrees with most of what you said but thats what it is unless Lyle's suggestion comes thru if duck keeps ducking. Its been made plain , Pac is going back to 140 , but will go back to 147 for the May Jr fight. Pac can't wait forever sitting and doing nothing. The Cold war must come to a complete halt !! Haymon is gonna be the one to ruin boxing if he won't work with all the promoters.

Pacquiao created this mess from the very beginnig with this scared of needles crap. The pressire got to his asz then he wanted a cut off. And its been a mess ever since.now he and arum are reduced down to begging.pacquiao is'nt fighting and will duck D. Garcia. But he will fight lil mickey and j vargas

Keep it up goofy!! yer doing just fine. Yer the ducks main protecter, lmao !!!

AMAZING! It's been weeks since team Pac has called out Floyd - from commercials to post fight interviews, and NOT ONCE HAVE WE HEARD FROM TEAM FLOYD! All we get are these mad fanboys it's crazy! They don't even wonder why their own idol Floyd won't say a damn thing. This is extremely sad! You guys are getting mad and making TONS of excuses for Floyd when FLoyd himself hasn't said SHIT. Aren't you guys tired of seeing your idol get clowned?

Pac fans think any cream-puff is comp for pac ex: Mayweather should fight a middleweight who's koing middleweights, pac should fight lightweights they arent comparable, since the KO he hasnt fought anyone with punching power, I know they wanted to give him a few soft touches, but he is fighting BS and his fans are all for it, they dont demand nothing for competition, nothing at all. we see it and they cant understand why his ppv #'s are so low a person with the "so-called" reputation as pac has should be doing Mayweather #'s, where are all of his socalled "fans"? you cant keep blaming mayweather. You guys (pac fans) deride each and every mayweather opponent but he consistently has fans that actually pay for his ppv's where are all of these supposed manny fans? this is not to talk down manny but a plain and simple question where are all these fans when manny has a fight? all these supposed fans dont demand he fight any comp and dont buy his fights.

Junk fights will happen until the duck comes to the table with a reasonble offer. Lyle is offering what should happen if the duck keeps ducking. Excoriating Pac fans is ludicrous and infantile. No one wants these junk fights, the fight to make is Pac vs May jr. The Cold War needs to stop!!! Haymon is the new real problem to boxing if he won't come to work with all the promoters.

[twosweethooks]

I believe Arum needs to show he's doing everything possible due to pressure from every direction. Nobody seems to be interested in any other fight. The question always leads to: when will the fight happen. But deep down, that camp knows, esp. Pacquiao, that Floyd will never fight. They would not be able to generate much interest in another opponent until the public sees the direct, loud and clear refusal from Floyd.

YEP !!! and Arum has by passed JR on this fight and gone to the TOP to pressure Jr to get the fight made.

Junk fights don't have to happen. Canelo is over there, if he can get Garcia he can definantley get Thurman. Brook isn't a Haymon guy so why not?
