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

[Bronx2245]

Of course arum has his stay busy fights in Algeria but he also puts his top fighters against each other like pacman Marquez and Bradley. One mismatch in between fans can deal with. How many years has Thurman been fighting collazo level fighters because of haymon? Bradley fought Rios in between fights with vargas, pacman and marquez. Top in house fighters. Pacman fought Algeria sandwiched between bradley and Floyd which are not mismatches at all. Fans can deal with one mismatch in between tough fights but the haymon model is back to back diet of mismatches like you see with Thurman and others. Khan been fighting 5 straight mismatches. One thing you can't say about arum is that he won't make his top guys fight each other lol

I'll take Manny Crawford or Manny bradley 3 over Thurman collazo and Danny vs a washed up Guererro who got dropped in both his fights in 2015 and if not for a robbery would be 0-2.

I guess you didn't like LSC vs. Mares, Broner vs. Porter, Jacobs vs. Quillen? Would you take Pacquiao vs. Bradley 3 over Thurman vs. Porter in February? You make excuses for Arum, but you hate on Haymon. It's the same business tactic, except the fighters actually like Haymon.

I thought Manny was dead

Me too! I hated boxing for 3 min, but when he lived, God told me it was ok to be a boxing fan again!

took 35 posts before someone blamed Haymon. That it was you shouldn't surprise me.

Just a few weeks ago Bob said Manny was going to pick who he wanted. This is either Bob lying or HBO telling Bob that they will not put Broner on.

Obviously, Manny is just a little Filipino house boy, obeying Master Arum!

That's right Bobby, tell the public why Terrence Crawford is such a PPV draw. This guy is such a bad lying POS. Best draw of these "big three" is easily Khan, so by those metrics alone there should be nothing to talk about. Now the REAL big fights out there for Pacquiao are Canelo, Garcia, Brook, Thurman... Those fights would get Pacman something to fight for. Beating Bradley or Crawford would do WHAT for Pacquiao? I could see it now, Pacquiao taking big breaks in camp because he is fighting Bradley or Crawford.. He needs to be sharp and motivated... Crawford and Bradley won't do that for him.

I would love to see Khan knocked out again! That would be great.

Santa Cruz had now many dreadful fights before he was put in the ring with Mares? Jacobs fighting Quillen after how many bum of the month fights? Broner fought nothing but bums since Maidana fight. Again why did these fights need 4-5 mismatches and years to go by before they were made? Haymon putting his top fighters against each other is rare and if it does its usually a few years too late. I'll say it again say what you want about arum but he has proven he will put his top guys in together and is not going to wait 3 years fighting mismatches like we see with thurman, 5 straight mismatches like we see out of khan. And Jacobs had 3 years mismatches before we finally saw him with quillin. People were dogging Santa Cruz for years for who he was facing. You can't compare that to Pacquiao fighting 1 mismatch with Algeri in between fights with Bradley and Mayweather 2 top 10 p4p guys.

Example fans are fine with Canelo fighting Kirkland in between tough fights with Lara and cotto. Fans are not fine with khan fighting 5 straight mismatches which is what Haymon does despite having numerous better fighters at 140 and 147 waiting years for 1 tough fight for khan.

[MASTER OF you]

If you notice, you've never read something saying "Haymon Squashes Pacquiao vs. Broner," or "Haymon Squashes Pacquiao vs. Khan." You don't see **** like this:

September 16, 2015:

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum says unbeaten former champion Danny Garcia (31-0, 18KOs) is not an option for Manny Pacquiao's comeback fight in early 2016.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach is very much in favor of his fighter taking on Garcia and calls it a "very easy" fight for the Filipino star. Roach has Garcia at the top his hit list. Arum has other plans for his fighter.

“No, not Danny Garcia,” Arum told the Philippine Star.

garcia isn't an option because arum knows gaymon would never feed danny garcia to Pacquiao losing one of his top fighters.Pacquiao/any elite fighter would embarrass danny haymon knows this and is only putting him in with badly faded fighters like paulie and robert guerrero to keep his bogus undefeated record intact.

I wouldn't call Porter a bum. If Manny can fight Algieri, why can't Khan? Canelo did fight Lara, another Haymon guy. Canelo did fight Trout, another Haymon guy. Canelo did fight Floyd, another Haymon guy. Has Canelo fought an Arum guy? Wasn't Jacobs making his way back from cancer? Arum called for a boycott of Floyd vs. Maidana 1, because he thought it was a lopsided fight, then chose Algieri for Manny. Why has Loma fought Gary Russell Jr., another Haymon guy, but not Walters, an Arum guy? By the way, Spike TV is "Network of the Year." Who did that?

Do your homework. Both Oscar and Haymon were onboard for Pacquiao vs. Garcia in 2014:

Do your homework. Garcia was never interested in super fights. No Pacquiao or Mayweather for the Garcia family.

Add one more post to one more thread where most folks would rather see this than Pac/Bradley 3.
