Comments Thread For: Arum is Excited: Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn is Great For Boxing!

[HURTFEELINGS]

This is a BASIC tenet of HUSTLING...."See a Fool, USE A FOOL" AND PAC FANS ARE THE FOOL. Pac going to Australia to fight an obscure school teacher.... has Triple G beat all the cab drivers and janitors?

[LOCOMEX89]

Arum with all due respect which in the hell is Jeff Horn? Is he rated in the Top 10? Was he a former Olympian? Has he beaten a well known fighter?

What good does this do for Pacs career? Seriously Pac's at the end of his hall of fame career and he should be in relevant fights not the polar opposite.

Pac has earned the right to fight hwo he wants, bt i`d rather see him retire than fight someone the boxing public doesn`t really know.

How can manny get the purse he wants from this fight? This PPV will flop massively. Do the right thing manny and fight someone relevant. I don't care who but make it someone who holds a title at 140 or 147.

Jeff is a very good fighter — I don’t know if he beats Manny Pacquiao - This says it all....If a school teacher beats manny, then manny isnt sh|t anymore, if manny beats a school teacher this fight is just what most believe, that this still aint sh|t.

Bob "every day im hustling" Arum, this is great for boxing. Is this PPV?

**** You! sponge BOB!

For all we know Horn is actually really good, but then why didn't they have him beat Timothy Bradley or someone on HBO before doing this? That way we would know how good he was and this would be a really credible fight. As it is, I've never heard of or seen Jeff Horn fight, so this holds zero appeal.

I think Horn does go alright. Is he on the level of a Manny Pacquaio, 8 div champ? I'm not even going to answer that question.

What is your opinion though, on why bob has thrown him into lions den without building him up first, into a star or half a star?

Is it because Horn gets a massive payday compared to fighting for $20k on a Parker undercard? (Made up figures)

Or does losing to manny actually bring you more fans if you put up a decent fight?

Or both?

...Or am i missing something?

Bob is horned up.
