Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Discusses The 2017 Return of Manny Pacquiao

[BM dnobagaV]

Dude its 2016 how the hell can you protect a fighter who is damaged goods? Vargas was the only one willing to step up, Garcia, Broner, and Thurman didnt, Broner and Garcia both priced themselves out knowing dam well Pac is washed up and cant draw anymore, Tyson couldnt draw anymore as well after the Lewis fight, you sound like an idiot sorry man.

They didn't fight him because he can't draw.

Realize how ****ing ****** you sound right now.

Uncle Bob could have made Crawford vs Pacquiao, instead of Bradley 3, which was supposed to be the passing of the torch fight. Arum clearly protected Crawford. It was supposed to be Pacquiao's last fight. How idiotic could you be saying Arum is still protecting a foreigner who could hardly speak english and came back from retirement?

The only 2 fighter anyone would care to see fight Pacquiao is Crawford or the winner of Garcia - Thurman. Anything else would suck.

PAC vs Thurman/Garcia winner, or Terence but I thk manny would be pressed to drop to 140 with Senate duties. He might can dig down and give one last performance. He would need to go in for 4 or 5 rds and throw those hands and hope for a knock out.
I can dream lol

he cant help but lie, its almost his second nature at this point! He just uses that big smile to hide behind so people think of him as the good guy....

He does get a larger benefit of the doubt for being a nice guy than is warranted. He has endorsed some pretty foul views and some of the things he supports in the Philippines (like the extermination of many of the poor drug-users) is heinous. He is a true example of the saying "Perception is reality." You would think people would bash him on similar levels as many other fighters with out-of-ring problems...

[Edward90]

Why would he call people out abd say he wants to fight a particular fighter when he knows that more than likely the deal wont get made. Up until a few months ago all of haymons fighters were completely off limits to fighting any top rank fighter, and still just his last fight both danny garcia and adrien broner priced themselves out of a pacquiao fight. They were offered 4 million dollars apiece to fight a legend and a top p4p fighter and al haymon advised them to walk from it, i mean is this guy serious? Pbc fighters are jokes thats the truth its tge P.C. of pro boxing

Umm... I'm not going to lump a large group of fighters together and say they are all jokes because of a promotional company... Flat fees are usually no-gos. I understand that Pacman is a top fighter, but Garcia and Broner were right to turn down $4mil for a fight that they would get well beyond that if they got a percentage. Pac turned down a career-high flat fee from Mayweather. GGG turned down a career-high flat fee from Canelo. Flat fees usually don't tell me much about the desire to actually make the fight happen unless there is such a monstruous disparity between the draws of the two fighters. I don't see that as the case for Pacman vs DSG or Broner...

he is also a known alcoholic and drug abuser..... Also a whoring womanizer with multiple women...... The difference between him and floyd is floyd does it all in the open..... Manny does everything in the dark like all politicians.....
