Someone explain how Bob Arum benefits putting Manny against nobodies???

[Rath]

Ortiz was a big win over Berto and Maidana was a big win over Broner but go ahead and think they werent.

Who did Rios beat to get Pac...oh thats right he didnt beat anybody he lost

Who did Algeri beat? Provo who is now 1-2 on the big stage and just had an embarrasing fight against JLC.

Yeah those are legit

Would you consider that sucker punch not just 1 but two legit?

[Mr.Fantastic]

If you wanna believe that

HAHA..Algeri had momentum and hype..HAHA

He did. I disliked the fight as much as you did but we have to be realistic here mayne.

That is highly debatable..and Oscar made Manny too..before Manny his ppv sells were ****......both were champs before Oscar..Oscar made them cash cows..

Since 2007
Manny has-

David diaz
Marquez-like 3-4 times
Oscar
Margo
Cotto
Clottey
Hatton
Bradley-2 times
these are the name worth mentioning

floyd has

Hatton
shane
oscar
cotto
juan
canelo
maidana
marquez

both hace had great fights and lately floyd has had the better fights,earlier manny had the better fights

You're missing Solis and Mosley for Pac. Pac's is better.

I never said Oscar never made Manny. Actually if I remember correctly, Pac vs Marquez 3 fight sold pretty good and maybe broke a record.

Last 3 fights, yea I closely give it to Floyd but only cause of Canelo. Pac's win over Bradley is close to that and I see Rios/Algeri being even with 2 fights with Maidana(not in terms of excitement).

Ortiz and berto were ww's man

ruslan and algeri were at 140 while manny was a ww...how can you try to ignore the difference?

Pacquiao is a WW as much as Floyd is a Jr. Middleweight. Ya dig?

[Mr.Fantastic]

Look.....Robert was a bad opponent too.....but atleast Robert has a name a fanbase.....Algeri is a complete nobody

When did Guerrero mysteriously have a fan base?

Money, Money, Money

[PRchamp]

Philipinos have what's called "debt of gratitude" which most westerners don't even know exist, Mr. Larry sir.

^^^^^ you got to be kidding me what does that even mean?

I guess Pacquiao's gratitude helped him get off Gary Shaws lap and hop into Arum's lap.

[285Kid]

Benefits? Pac should be retire if one of his younger top rank fighters at 140 beat Pac they become a new star , a new star he can promoter for the next 8 to 10 years.. Arum is looking to make new stars

[Xi_]

Provo is not "ESPN" level lol
He's a solid guy. he'd be a tough fight for anyone at 140

anytime you lose a fight on epsn, you're an espn fighter.

lol@rios/algieri being better than maidana........get real you idiot.

[big_james10]

Bob Arum is not ****** when it comes to money...he knew Manny last PPV would have bad numbers but he did it anyway...And He knows Manny VS Vargas will bomb worst.

So can someone tell me whats up Bob Arums sleeve?

Bob Arum is not ******, but Pac worshippers are. With the gates, PPVs, sponsorships and site fees paid by the host of the fight, Arum makes a ton of money on Pac fights. However, in spite of what he says, Bob Arum doesn't actually pay Pacquaio $20 million per fight as he claims. The idiots on this site believe everything Arum tells them, but the contracts submitted to the commissions don't lie. So Arum will make anywhere from $30 to $50 million off of a Pac fight. He only pays Pac $6 million plus a percentage and walks away with $20 to $30 million in profit for himself.

Why do you think he refused to make Pacquaio/Marquez V? It was because Marquez was demanding too much of the profits and Arum is not going to stage a fight where he does not walk away with 80 percent of the money.

[PAC-BOY]

But its like Bob is killing Mannys drawing power....how could that be a good thing...

Floyd cost showtime 16 mill in his last fight.
