Comments Thread For: Arum Surprised By Pacquiao Delaying Announcement

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last Friday, Manny Pacquiao was scheduled to announce his next opponent in what could be his swan song from the ring, but he informed Bob Arum on Thursday that he would be holding off on naming his next opponent. The delay by Pacquiao surprised his promoter.

Word around the **** pit fighting ring is that Floyd vs Manny will happen in 2016.

The division is better than 3 yrs ago & he wants the eziest of the 3 offered so mayb Khan....

The honeymoon is over lol. Bob is like idk wtf is up with this dumb mfer postponing the announcement & idk who he's fighting on Apr. 9, but I'm putting on a show with or without him lol.

Bob is such a ****. I kinda hope Mayweather vs Pacquiao II does happen next year with Manny out of his TR deal (assuming he is out of it next year).

Sounds like Pacquiao vs. Arum problems.

Arum: Manny, just pick Crawford as your next opponent, lose to him, and then i will pay u $5 million more on top of what you're getting.

Pacquiao: Bu bu but Bob, this is my last fight, i really want to end my career with a win. It will cement my legacy.

Arum: Yeah, but in the past you didnt care about that. In the past, you would always pick the fighter that will get you the most money.

Pacquiao: Yes, but this is my last fight, so i dont want to lose. I want to fight Timothy Bradley again because i beat him already. This will be a good fight for me and the fans as my last fight.

Arum: There's no buzz for a trilogy fight against you and Bradley. Look Manny im telling u .... *Pacquiao cuts in*

Pacquiao: But Timothy Bradley has a new trainer. Its a new Bradley.

pacquiao thinks he's important,wants fans to wait and wonder who he will choose,thats all he's doing

[Fetta]

Maybe pac trying to be like floyd and wait to announce the opponent

or maybe hes having trouble deciding between the names offered (bradley and tim)

Manny deserves a Bertoesque send off, but please not Bradley FFS!

[Build That Wall]

Pacquiao really thinks he has a chance at a floyd rematch. That fight did not warrant a rematch.
