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

[soul_survivor]

I hope Broner KOs him if this happens. Pacquiao is bs-ing two years running.

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

Check most of the places that reported that Crawford is no longer in the running. Most if not all claimed that Crawford wasn't even Pac's first nor was a "favorable" choice by Pac to begin with. Even Koncz admits this back in October.

Koncz: Crawford isn’t Pacquiao’s first choice for next fight

Boxing is business. Crawford has a history of stinking up the place even in front of a hometown crowd. One guy got banned by HBO, in fact. Pac would get blamed for it. If you're saying Pac is scared of Crawford, forget it. He just fought the best evah, chased him like he's an ordinary fighter, made him run and clinch. Some like Mosley, Sugar Ray, etc. though he won. And the superstar veteran is scared of an inexperienced Crawford? Forget it. Tsk, tsk... Broner is entertainment by himself. Believe me, if they picked Crawford you'll sing a different tune, he's inexperienced, he's a 140 guy, etc. etc.

But I think they'll go for Bradley. Thanks, Bob.

If by "stinking up the joint" you mean "use movement and defense" I would agree. But by no means am I going to hold it against Pac if he chooses Broner, who is way more popular than Crawford, which in term leads to more revenue gained. I remember going to work the day after the Broner - Maidana fight and people that don't even watch boxing were talking about it.

I guess Pacquiao wants to end his career giving out a serious beating, he's entitled to that.

honestly tho i think broner gives pac a better fight then most everyone else and i also think it will be the best broner ever looked. got think it will be his best training camp ever.

guess this ruins my broner roach combo dream lol.

u guys can hate all you want but lets be honest the build up will be great and the fight will be entertaining as hell however it ends up it will be entertaining

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

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

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.

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.

Broner doesn't have the name or leverage like Floyd did to demand his promotion be the main promoter and even Floyd for years had a promotion company that was in name only it wasn't until this time last year after the golden boy split that he actually filled for a promotional license so he could put on shows with him as the lead promoter. Broner could have about billions promotions or whatever else he wants to call it. He's not licensed and can't put on his own shows. If he gets the fight this entire promotion will be on HBO under top rank without any of haymon control and damn sure not no About Billions Promotions lol

when pac man wins it will be a moral victory over Floyd, "2 good shoulders"

[The Big Dunn]

I like the idea of Broner/Pac. I will be hoping Broner pulls the upset, preferably by KO, but I doubt he has anything more than a punchers chance.

Crawford is a better fighter than Broner. Broner sucks, always has and probably always will.

If I wanted to watch Pacquiao beating a guy with chin, the Margarito fight is only one YouTube search away.



Because this a boxing forum and we're allowed to post our thoughts on upcoming match ups. My opinion on this fight is that it sucks and I'm not interested in seeing it.

If you wanna menstruate about it, please do, it's an open forum after all.



They will because you know Broner will talk a lot of **** before the fight.

Plus it's a chance to see Pac beating a guy who uses shoulder roll.

What a compelling fight

Who has Crawford beat to make him better than Broner? Broner was WAY more impressive as a lightweight than Bud. Broner is also faster, hits harder and has a better chin. I hope Broner fights Crawford and you get a ****ing wake up call.

Broner has the counter right hand to give Manny fits...
