Comments Thread For: Arum Counters Pacquiao: I Support Gay Rights, Same Sex Marriage

[Axl Rose]

In a democracy people are entitled to their own opinions. Pacman don't like homsexuals, others do, so what?

[Bronx2245]

Can't wait to see what Freddie Roach, Teddy Atlas and Timothy Bradley have to say! How will Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman try to clean this up for Manny? What will HBO do?

Jump ship! Arum being a smart cookie to not backup Pac's down syndrome mouth diarrhea. He still has a company to run and doesn't wanna get this **** all over his other fighters that's all.

Arum is a scumbag, so why should his politically correct garbage surprise anyone.

[Cloud]

You would you old ****ing ***.

Ask Bob Arum (***ish) why gay marriage isn't coming to Israel any time soon then?

Arum should stop supporting Manny's political ambition instead.

This is serious business. Uncle Bob is making evasive maneuvers. Manny Pacquiao just stepped on a land mine. The peanut gallery commenting on the internet has no clue how much damage this is going to cause.

He'll be fine. If Arum was serious about this anti-stance with Pac, he would immediately drop him. But the $ Pac brings in, and can potentially bring in if he fights again after Bradley, keeps Arum away from dropping Pac. Arum isn't Nike, who nets a couple billion dollars a year, with or without Pacquiao. Now if we are talking about LeBron James saying anti-gay comments, a public apology will have Nike like "Okay, okay, we'll keep you". Cause the money James brings in for Nike is pretty significant. Lol it's all business and how it will cost them to keep or drop a controversial player. For Arum, that would be a large chunk of his yearly income if he dropped Pac.

Arum supports Arum and anything that will appeal him to the masses to make money.

Isn't that exactly what a promoter is supposed to do?
