this whole pac vs AB is pure garbage. if pac returns, why the hell would arum put him in with a fighter that is NOT even being promoted by him? if pac returns, its so that arum can milk him and put him up against one of arum's up and comer so that bob can benefit from it.

He put him in vs Algieri who wasn't his fighter so why not Broner? Broner talks a good game and will help sell ppvs especially after they lost so much money on the third bradley fight. Hopefully we can get a top rank vs haymon fighter on the undercard too

if pac is coming back, he aint got much time left. why would arum waste it by putting him up against someone that is not being promoted by him? if pac is coming back, its so that arum and set up a fight with one of arum's top fighters right now so they can be the next cash cow for arum. when pac fought algieri, manny wasnt even talking about retirement so arum had room to play with.

I dont agree. Pac woukd be a sizable favorite vs broner. They coukd that fight and make some money whike getting crawford or loma ready forhis last fight or fights

thats not gonna do anything for arum once pac leaves. bob's plan is to set a fight with manny and one of bob's best right now. pac loses to him and that guy will be bob's next cash cow.

getting crawford and loma ready for his last fight?? we DONT know how many fights or how long pac plans to stay IF he comes back so putting him in with anyone that is NOT being promoted by arum will not be a smart move, business wise. if manny comes back its gonna be against crawford or loma NOT broner.

why would arum put pac in with broner, and risk manny losing or looking bad? then a fight with crawford or loma wouldnt mean much anymore. this is bob arum we're talking about here....

I can't agree. He just did a third fight with Bradley who he knows will never be a crossover star. Pac looked great so I don't see the Broner fight being a big risk anyway

[Boxopera]

vs. Tim Bradley of course...

This could be a title eliminator as Verdejo is rated #1 and Felix Jr. is rated #3 by the WBO.
If Verdejo beats Felix Jr. he should then go face Flanagan in the end of the year for the WBO belt.

maybe because he could promote Pac as the man who beat the guy who Mayweather "didn't fight even when they had feud" and then they make The G a y one vs the midget 2?
