Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Will Have Final Word on Khan Bout

[elfag]

I think Khan is going to use the Pacquiao fight in 2016 as an excuse to not fight in 2015. Khan has become a retired fighter to become a full time bragger. All he ever does is brag about what he did years ago and what he is going to do years from now. I wish he would shut up and fight a good fighter like Garcia, Brook, Thurman, Porter or Maidana this fucing year. I would love to see him get knocked out again but if he can actually beat a good welterweight then more power to him. He needs to quit talking about how great he is and how much Mayweather is scared of him and get in the damn ring and show the world how good he is or isn't with a good welterweight, not another Algieri or a Collazo.

yeah khan aint fighting anymore this year. Hes just going to vacation and tweet about how he beat Maidana in 2010.

If business is business what's to say arum and haymaker can't work together despite the law suits...they still want to earn right?

[Scipio2009]

Am I missing something or is Khan secretly trying to get out of his contract with Al? Don't get why these articles are published, I wish some of these reporters would grow balls and ask the real questions like......How do you expect this fight to get made Bob when you have a 100 million dollar lawsuit against Haymon right now?

But let's keep talking about it, like it's actually going to happen.

Haymon has let fighters out of contracts, largely without any real hassle from the fighters; if Khan wants to leave, i have no doubt that something could be worked out between him and Haymon.

Bob Arum likes to hear himself talk, even if it's utter ****; the "brutal shoulder injury healed up in three months with swims in the ocean and blessings from God" nonsense likely gave Arum more incentive to try and launch even more bull****.

Beyond all that, with HBO basically not having much available for him, he understands that he's got to feed his media trolls to keep his name, his company, and his star fighter in the conversation, less any more steam gets lost with the ongoing content blackout.

Arum will lowball the Khan fight and offer Pac way more money to fight an in-house guy. Watch.

Pacquiao's camp were talking about him moving back down again to 140 before the Mayweather fight got made, Pacquiao vs Crawford at 140 would be an excellent fight, I wouldn't advise Crawford to face a guy like Pacquiao in his first fight at a new weight, and believe me if this fight got made and it went the distance, Crawford is getting that decision no matter how the fight plays out, that's how Arum works, if u r about to leave Arum he's gonna make sure u lose to an in house guy so that he has the man that beat the man, Pacquiao's days as a fighter are numbered and Crawford is the new superstar coming up, Crawford HAS to win cuz if he lost then Pacquiao beat a hypejob and now he's gonna retire, which leaves Arum without any superstars.

Remember when Pacquiao's contract was about to end in 2012? he got robbed against Bradley, remember when Cotto was about to leave Arum in 2008, he got beaten by a cheater, and he wanted to do the same with Mayweather before he left him too, and even after Margarito got caught in the locker room before he fought Mosley, he was still able to continue fighting and made the biggest 3 paydays of his career against Mosley, Pacquiao and Cotto II, which goes to show u how corrupt the sport can be. Also Oscar got clearly robbed against Tito but Tito wasn't with Arum, but still I think Oscar wanting to leave Arum at the time and the problems they were having had something to do with this robbery.

Amir Khan should just sign with Top Rank in order to secure a fight with Manny Pacquiao. Let's just face some facts. TR's stable at the Junior welter and Welter division is just as strong and deep as the PBC's.

I guarantee that Bob Arum would deliver that bout for Khan in a second; Especially if he wins and gives him options and the right of first refusal on his future bouts. Something which Al Haymon is either unwilling, incapable or reluctant in doing.

[arraamis]

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has said that eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao will be the one to decide on whether to face Amir Khan in his comeback fight after his unanimous decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr in the “Fight of the Century” this past May 2 in Las Vegas.

Arum told Sky Sports in Britain that he has had discussions with Khan who is the WBC welterweight Silver Champion about a possible showdown with Pacquiao early next year and will pass on the information to Pacquiao.
