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

[Hougigo]

Top Rank has already gone on record and said this was a fantasy, would never happen. And I believe that before I believe a video from a guy who was stocking shelves before he started making boxing videos for youtube.

I still don't see the fight as realistic...

What'd Donate say in the video? I'm not gonna click on it, i feel like it offers nothing new and it's just his opinion being passed off as news

Some dumb ****. I couldn't watch.



Just remember it was dumb, I would love to see Manny light Broner up though.

Well, I haven't heard anything about it anywhere else, so I'm going to assume it's some b.s and more his opinion/other's opinions.

why is koncz calling broner then? i agree its highly

dontae doesnt have any new source (didnt even watch vid) but broner said he talked to him personally

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.

Team Pacquiao being after money in the last fight of his career, gee what a shocker! It's called cashing out, bro.

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

Could be right, but I think it's legit.

This would be a good thing not just because Adrien Broner would get slaughtered, but because the more Haymon and Top Rank cooperate, the better the chances that some of this bull**** between promoters and networks will go away.

That all goes away when Arum finally retires or steps down. That other guy who is under Arum (forget his name) is willing to work with Haymon.

No if this was all through haymon then this would be on PBC or Showtime. Which it wont This fight will only happen on HBO with top rank handling all the promotion. Mayweather was big enough and had his own promotion company to have the leverage to put arum in the passanger seat. Broner has none of that and is not signed to showtime so no need to share the broadcast. So the fight only happens if broner can make a deal without haymon or with haymon agreeing to step aside and let his fighter fight on HBO and on a top rank card. And we don't know if haymon is cool with any of this yet. All we know is broner himself has talked with mannys people. Are there any reports that haymon is on board?

Well, Haymon is Broner's adviser after all. I'm sure he'll advise him to go for it. Broner does have About Billions Promotions by the way.

If Pacquiao loses poor Miss Philippine will have her work cut out for her next year. WAR MISS UNIVERSE!!!!!

Pacquiao is a b*tch if he gives Broner a chance instead of Crawford.

Not so fast, this is the last fight of his career. He's free to choose whomever he pleases. Broner is the cash option, Crawford is the "greatness" option.

Pac should tell Arum to fuc k off. His last fight of his career shouldn't be him being used to prop up another Top Rank fighter.

Plus people would rather watch this than a Crawford or Bradley rematch AND Pac can look good in his last fight. The other two options will likely result in boring, forgettable fights.

I agree with all of your points. Pac isn't a dog, he doesn't belong to Arum. It's HIS last fight of HIS career, let him pick Broner if he wants.

I find it hard to believe Pacquiao is losing any sleep over Crawford. In fact, that may be the problem. Manny would struggle to get out of bed to train for him. Manny will choose an opponent he can get up for. Unless of course Arum chooses for him.

Well, we never really did get an explanation about why Crawford was seemingly shut down so quickly in the Pac sweepstakes. Most sources claimed Pac turned the idea down right away without even blinking. Was it because Crawford "runs" (aka doesn't stand still and brawl) or because he isn't a draw?

I'll buy it

Same.

Oh snap, crackle and mother****in' pop....

[Nubia]

why not maidana vs pacquiao?

sad part is, broner vs pacquiao is better than bradley pacquiao.

Maidana is retired, he weighs close to 200 lbs.

This is a perfect fight for the Philippines, so instead of slow mo videos and ivs scandals to reassure them that Manny somehow beat Floyd, they'll have him beating up Li'l Bruh. Oh God, it'll be great, it'll be just like Manny beat Floyd. YES IT WILL BE TOO! Most likely it'll up the ***** count and prevent more *******s in the long run, ****ing FANTASTIC!

Could you provide a source? Why did Koncz personally contact Broner (both parties confirm) about the fight?

I still don't see the fight as realistic...

What'd Donate say in the video? I'm not gonna click on it, i feel like it offers nothing new and it's just his opinion being passed off as news

He said that he talked to "sources extremely close to the situation". Perhaps an Al Haymon associate? Sam?

Some dumb ****. I couldn't watch.

Wow, you might need to lay off the booze. You can't even remember what's being said in a video that short?

Well, if you had watched the video you'd know that Dontae cited "sources extremely close to the situation". Believe at your own will.

[IronDanHamza]

I'd enjoy Pacquaio-Broner.

Seems unlikely though.

[stuff jones]

A couple of sources claimed Pacquiao had wanted NO PART whatsoever of Crawford. Especially after seeing how dominant he was in his last fight. Crawford is 100% out of the running according to most sources.

Oh sources really. Any links or are you just making **** up?
