Pacquiao vs Broner reportedly now in "serious" negotiations; no longer just in talks

[Nubia]

I can't believe this is actually happening.

In a good or bad way?

In a good or bad way?

Broner doesn't deserve this fight. He's not a threat to Pacquiao with his non existing footwork and low punch output.

Team Pacquiao is after money, simple as that.

I'm not gonna watch this fight, most certainly not live.

[Clegg]

Probably just a tactic to get Bradley to lower his asking price.

I'd watch this fight . It's not a crazy matchup but it could be a fun one to watch.

Wow and beating Thomas Dulorme makes you a threat? Broner would have beaten every guy Crawford has just as easily... selective hype Mfers...

A least Broner has a chin...Gamboa was rocking Crawford and Manny's first left would put him on ***** st...

[gmc_rfc_06]

I can see it now.

Manny beats Broner and after the fight will tell us that Broner tries to be like Mayweather, so this is technically a win over him.

Arum and Manny have clearly not been on the same page since the Floyd fight. First arum takes shots about how he is rehabbing and now arum clearly wants Manny to fight either Bradley or Crawford because that makes more sense for his company. Even announces that they will make the decision on one of his tru TV cards. Manny backs out and only reason I can think of is he doesn't want either those fights. Problem is arum is thin with options at 147. Haymon has most the fighters at that weight. And Brook doesn't want to fight him.

The longer this draws out the more I think Manny is saying screw you Bob I'm not fighting Bradley again or a high risk low reward fight with crawford. Manny own manager confirmed what broner said about them reaching out to him directly but that wasn't arum it was mannys manager. Manny manager also said I wish broner did not make that public. I think manny is trying to go around arum and to some degree haymon as well to make this fight because broner is a easier fight then crawford and a better sell then a 3rd fight with Bradley.

One question I have is if they are successful getting around arum how does haymon feel about all this? Will he allow his guy to fight on HBO in a fight he'd be the underdog? Khan was basically saying screw haymon I can make a fight with manny without him because he is upset with not getting Floyd and the guys haymon has him fighting. But I don't get the same vibe that broner is upset with haymon so I don't see him going renagade to make a fight outside of haymon. Get your popcorn ready because this will be entertaining to see how this all shakes out.

Translation:
I'll be on NSB the night of April 16th creating a thread titled: "can anyone PM me a stream?" or obsessively thanking NSB'ers for posting RBR feedback

I've never understood this kind of stuff.
If people don't like a fight, then why do they take the time to tell others that they're not going to watch?

[STREET CLEANER]

I repeat this again, ever since the Pac/Floyd negotiations it seems that Pac is seeing things like Floyd and ODLH did.

You see Arum being less than an influence.

I agree with some here that Broner don't deserve such a shot. Crawford appears to be the bigger threat and online to become a super star

[KLockard23]

So if/when Pacquiao whoops Broner's ass, is big brother Floyd gonna step up and defend Broner by fighting and beating Manny (again... this time by KO maybe) just like he did with Maidana?
