    Arum rules out Pacquiao-Matthysse "not gonna happen"



    It was kind of a long shot anyway, Seckbach was pushing Matthysse-Rios but he can get to feck with that.

    Shame Elie didn't ask about Crawford-Matthysse since Matthysse is Crawford's mandatory but that'd be too logical for boxing.

    Arum seems happy right now, walking around with dollar signs in his eyes after May-Pac.

      I don't know about that but Pacquiao is clearly off-limits. He just made them a mint of money and I guess all sides will ultimately look towards a rematch.

      Crawford-Matthysse is the fight at 140 right now anyway, Oscar should petition the WBO to make it happen. Unfortunately he probably won't and Matthysse will end up with the Cuenca-Yang winner or Victor Postol if Garcia vacates.

        I doubt Bob is feeding a Manny to a GBP fighter, he's going to have him lose to one of his own.

          Why would Pacquaio fight Matthysse anyway? What is the actual point of that fight? It doesn't mean anything.

            Manny & Floyd (to an extent) are at an odd part of their career, anyone they face is a step backwards some opponents being mentioned are a HUGE step backwards. A win over Matthysse means/does nothing for Manny just like a win over Khan means/does nothing for Floyd career wise, They may make some $ but it defines nothing. Geez, now I am beginning to talk myself into a rematch... lol

              Somewhere in the world, Oscar is removing his nose from the table to shed a tear.

                Good. I think Lucas stops Manny at this point. He is a shell of his 2010 self

                  Big Matthysse fan here but lets be real Manny would still destroy him even the current version of Manny. Matthysse is still just a few fights removed of being outboxed by Danny Garcia...

                    WBO is Arum's personal sanctioning body.
