Meh...Don't really care one way or the other

Pacquiao vs broner

Broner would most likely lose this fight in the same manner as tim bradley so he went ahead & demanded ridiculous $$$😉😉

[Spoon23]

Broner was saying he wanted 10 million for a danny garcia fight the other day. I wonder how much he demanded for Pacquiao!!?

Well if that is a fact. If he can ask 10 million for a Garcia fight then arum is not lying that Broner is asking a ridiculous purse.

Case solved.

But I really wished to see Broner Iced by Pacquiao and butt ****d again by Pac this time around for the fun of it.

Broner never said that the $40m was "chump change"; he figured that, if he kept doing his thing, he'd be able to make the Roc Nation $40m plus more, so he wasn't thirsting after the deal. That's likely not the case any longer, but it was his right to take that chance.

Beyond that, let's cut the bull****; Pacquiao's guarantee is said to be $20m. If his guarantee was only $7m, Arum wouldn't have loss his ass on Pacquiao-Bradley 3.

Broner could want a bajillion dollars to fight; if Top Rank is only offering $2m, why should he even talk to Arum?

Damn to people even look beyond #s anymore? If Broner beat Pacquaio Broner would finally get the Stardom he so desires and believe me those big paydays would come especially if he beats him better than big bro did. But I guess no one thinks of boxing and its glory anymore, its pay me big cuz I might lose or dont pay me at all. Thats why I like TC, if he beats Postol like I feel he will, he wipes his ass with Broner and d1ckslaps Manny.

[Boxfan83]

Is it not well known that Arum did take a beating on Pac-Bradley 3? He said so himself...
If Broner turned down 3 million or anything more than that then he's out of his mind.

Honestly at first glance of this fight, I figured Broner would get about 3-3.5 with a % of ppv sales. Wouldve been nice to see Broner switch it up a lil and fight for the glory and recognition that he would get if he really just trained his ass off to actually want to beat Manny Pacquiao instead of wanting to get paid more than what hes worth to "possibly" get his ass beat.

Paqcuiao is in the news saying he's not coming back any time soon. Bob Arum is selling something that is not there.

bob, koncz and even roach should let pac be.... to focus on his senate duties....

it may be true that pac misses the ring...for whatever reasons....

but bob, koncz and roach are not helping manny any in this on-going transition period....

by talking of scheduling a pac return fight...they should stop it even if manny himself is keen on a return.....

a half-baked return fight is unfair..... to both the senate and boxing fans alike...

[richardt]

Please. Arum's been doing this for longer than you've been alive (presumably). He's buried his own son. You think words like that are going to haunt him? He's a boxing promoter...not a justice of the Supreme Court.

You're completely full of sht! Reference below and then leave, you are dismissed.

Controversy has been one of Bob Arum's constant companions during his half-century as one of boxing's greatest promoters.

But one line he uttered during a drinking binge in Syracuse, N.Y., while he was promoting Sugar Ray Leonard's welterweight title defense against Larry Bonds, has stuck with him forever:

Yesterday, I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth.

Business competitors have used it against him. Attorneys during court cases have inquired about it. Media have excoriated him. And fans have adopted it as his life's mantra, a derogatory profile of him.

Arum said "When I've had to testify in trials, the lawyers have even asked me about it and I've had to explain the situation."

I don't know where you got this information from, but Arum did not say this line while promoting a Sugar Ray Leonard fight. He said it a few years ago, long after SRL was gone from boxing, about another fighter he was promoting.

[uniquehump]

I say Broner can get 10mil max. He will bring the entertainment and the people hoping for him to get his butt whooped again. AB will definitely sell the fight. But if he gets 10mil, Pac gots to be getting around 20 - 25mil. I wonder why Khan is not being considered?

Take it easy, killer. No one's out to get you.
