Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Squashes Pacquiao vs. Broner Possibility

Its going to be bradley

Sadly I think you may be right... but god, I really don't want to see this fight again

Broner isn't a PPV fighter but Crawford is? Bradley III is? Sure Bob, just say what the truth is - Broner isn't with Top Rank so no fight.

Pacquiao really needs to stand firm with the opponent he wants to fight. Shouldn't be that hard:

Pac: "I want Broner"
Bob: "No"
Pac: "ok then I retire"
Bob: "Broner it is!"

And people still think it'd Floyd's fault the Pac fight took five years?? Hilarious. Arum is ****ing shameless.

Too bad, would have been a very good thing.

I'm not going to lose sleep over missing out on Pac/Broner, but we need fights like that to start happening. Arum needs to quit this bull****.

Mannys people clearly went behind arums back but they didn't contact haymon they called broner directly. No clue haymon knew about this, was in the loop or would of even allowed it to happen. Based on his actions that was never likely to happen.

Poor Koncz. All his genius plans are always shot down by Arum lol.

Definitely a bs response cuz I'd be surprised if Crawford is doing any more or any less PPV buys than Broner is doing as Manny's B side.

If he doesn't fight Khan, who brings the most money to the table, Pac is scared.

[The Gambler1981]

Not surprising, not that Broner was some great opponent or it was some great fight so nothing to lose sleep over.

Either he gets to use up one of Bradley's expensive fights or he gets a fight to build Crawford either way it ends with Crawford fighting Bradley most likely.

Arum just admitted he killed the fight and you're still blaming Haymon?

Ever since the Floyd fight it's clear arum and Manny are not on the same page. Arum bashing Manny for how he was rehabbing. Arum telling the media they have a decision to announce Mannys next opponent live on Tru TV then Manny backs out. Now Manny reaching out to fighters behind his back. Arum wants to force 2 opponents that are good for his company but guys Manny doesn't want to fight. Crawford is too risky a fight and Bradley is a fight Manny doesn't need. All the other top guys at 147 haymon owns except brook who doesn't want to fight him. Very interesting to see how this plays out and if things get ugly with Manny and arum.
