    How is this fight good for boxing is what I wanna know??? Haha haha lol There is no logical reason for it, Manny Pacquiao knocking out a guy the boxing public isn't familiar with won't add anything positive to Manny Pacquiao legacy AT ALL LOL

      He fooled them from 2009-2015. People true nature will always reveal itself eventually

        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?
        This goes back to a thread I wrote last week. Besides May/Pac when was the last time Top Rank put one of their stars in a 50/50 fight outside the Top Rank stable? People keep saying Brook/Pac is a good fight, which it is. It'll probably make more money in the UK than Brook/GGG. But it's a 50/50 fight with a fighter outside the Top Rank stable. Now they're looking at Burns which would make a lot of money in Ireland. But it's not a 50/50 fight. Pac will be heavily favored. When Arum went looking for a PVC fighter he didn't go after Porter, Thurman, or Spence. He went after Broner. Another fight where Pac would be heavily favored. When Mosely fought Pac he had to leave Golden Boy so Bob could get options on him if he pulled off the upset. This has been the Top Rank way of doing business for decades. I guess people hatred of Floyd left them blind to what Top Rank has been doing forever.

        As to why he's fighting Horn, who else is he gonna fight? Like I said, Top Rank isn't putting him in 50/50 fights with anybody outside the Top Rank stable. He knows he can't sell the Bradley fight again. Vargas was the last Top Rank welter with a decent enough name to hold the fight in America. But Vargas isn't a star and you see he was willing to let Vargas fight outside the Top Rank stable when he was supposed to fight Brook. The same for Ruiz. He's fleecing the Australian fans. He knows they'll pay to see the legend Manny take on one of their hometown kids. If you were Australian and haven't had a big name fighter there since Jack Johnson wouldn't you pay to see Pac? They buying Mudine vs Green on PPV so you know they'll buy Pac the legend. He can still make more money off Pac than he can off Crawford that's why he's delaying the Crawford fight until he's squeezed out every lay cent from Pac's name.

            Easy to deduce.. Arum wants everything in house and didn't want to share any profits with another promoter.
            He's been doing that for decades and you're just now realizing it?!?!?

                I can accept this as a non ppv...and hopefully follow it with a big fight later in the year.

                Can't hate too much for a free fight...
                Where did you read that this fight is not a PPV event? Can you post a link?

                  Why people keep ignoring Manny and Freddy Roach's strategy of draining fighters, looking for plodding fighters, non-power punching fighters and slow fighters? This has been going on for a long time. Honestly, this why i just can't give Manny any credit. I can't overlook many of the circumstances surrounding is opponents.

                      Arum's age has finally made him go insane.
