Comments Thread For: Arum: I Never Discusssed Money for Pacquiao Fight with Crawford

[DeLorean]

if it happens, abum is gonna wait until theres nothing left in pac. hes going to groom bud to be the next poac.

as for the bold stuff, pac fans crack me up. they say horn isnt such a bad fight. i asked them when was the last time they even mentioned him. i have yet to get a response.

''pac vs horn is good for the sport.''

how can they (pac fiends) live with themselves ?!?!?!?

I recently watched Horn's fights vs Funeka and Randall Bailey on Youtube.. and yea, the guy is pretty horrible man. very stiff, predictable, off balance, shaky chin, leaky defense.. the one thing he has though is a nice overhand right he likes to throw over the jab. but 41 year old Bailey dropped him and had his legs on life support for a minute.

... this is just a horrible fight. just a stay busy opponent. Pacquiao should definitely end his knockout drought in this one.

its billed as a mondo. pac HAS to fight him.
.....................................
at this stage in the game, if may ever had a horn on his resume, omg, the hate threads would make this place close down.

''how can may fight a guy like horn with so many other guys available !!!!''

i defy a pac fiend to say otherwise !

Crawford hasnt prove he's great either and I still dont see how Gamboa and Postol are better than Limeux and Brook. You're just saying this because you lile Crawford's style. You dont care about being objective.

It has nothing to do with who I like. And personally I don't think that anyone is objective, we all have our opinions.

But I can see where this is going, you are arguing using emotion, because you don't know what I like or don't like. I simply said that Crawford has a better resume than GGG. I believe that both are great fighters, and I like to watch both of them fight. But a by having a better resume means, this means to me that Crawford has proved he is great more than GGG has, in the ring, where it counts, against a higher level of opponents. I can't just anoint GGG as being the best without him proving it against a high level of competition.

I can't believe that you think that David Lemieux is better than Postol. Lemieux hits hard, but he has fallen apart against average competition, with back-to-back losses against Rubio and Alcine. We cannot say that about Postol. You criticize Postol's victory over Matthysse but that victory is arguably better than any victory of Lemieux's.

And I believe that Gamboa has a better resume than Brook. Brook moved up 2 weight divisions to fight Golovkin and got TKO'd, so no matter how great you think he was a WW, that does not mean much at MW - there are weight divisions for a reason. Some people thought that Brook was the best WW, but he never proved this in the ring. Brook can only be considered one of the best at WW, but certainly not the best, not from just barely beating Shawn Porter, his only notable win. For example, the struggle Brook had with Carson Jones in their first fight does not support him being considered greater than Thurman, who has more notable wins on his resume than Brook.

The fight was dirty. And Khan beat Madiana more convincingly than Floyd. Who's the better fighter?

Yes, the Salido-Lomachenko fight was dirty, but as Ricky Hatton was found of saying, boxing is no tickling contest. And Amir Khan looked like a drunk the way he was stumbling around the ring in the last rounds of his fight with Maidana and barely made it out of that fight, Marcos was knocking Khan all around the ring, and I thought the ref saved Amir from being KO'd. No way did Khan look better than Floyd. I don't even need to answer who is better between Khan and Mayweather.

That's how much he has gotten paid for all his fights except the Vargas fight.

If you're accustomed getting paid a certain amount and is likely written in your contract, you would want to get paid that amount.

It's you who is lacking some sense. 20 million is the amount he usually gets paid.

Except his last fight was only a $5,000,000 guarantee so that $20,000,000 dollar excuse is not available in this case. Pac is simply not worth that much anymore...Arum knows this and Pac knows this.

Aside from the Mayweather fight, Pac's stock has been dropping-hell, even before the Floyd fight his numbers were decreasing.

Stop talking nonsense. Pac's team (and his fans) always tell the truth, and never make excuses for Manny.

"Arum's Got 99 Excuses, But The Split Ain't One"

That's a gem! Thanks for that!

Being on the record is always comes back to haunt you. In hindsight, this fighthype article is a classic.

When did Khan beat Mariana more convincingly than Floyd?

[Strategic1]

Since when is this the case? According to this article it was 7 mil

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/4/7/...pv-boxing-news

For Rios it was 18

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...om-prize-fight

Marquez 4 it was 8.5

http://www.badlefthook.com/2012/12/5...bo-boxing-news

Algerie was the only one near 20

You need to read the articles you post. In the very first article, Arum says Pcquiao's guarantee is 20 million and is in line what how much he makes for his other fights.

When did Khan beat Mariana more convincingly than Floyd?

December 12, 2010:

Amir Khan, still a world champion but headed for hospital, mumbled through the bruises and cuts that dressed a face rearranged only moments before by Marcos Maidana: "I proved tonight I've got a chin."

What an understatement. The 4,632 fans scattered around an arena that holds twice that number in the bowels of the Mandalay Bay last night were brought to their feet in a frenzy in round 10 as the Argentinian challenger – who came to the fight with an 87% stoppage record – belted Khan from one side of the ring to the other.

He landed blows, unanswered, that would have destroyed any other fighter of comparable size in the world, including Khan's friend and stablemate, Manny Pacquiao. Yet, drawing on his phenomenal fitness, the boy from Bolton somehow remained upright to retain his WBA light-welterweight title. The judges gave it to him over 12 rounds by margins of 114-111 twice and 113-112. Had one judge, Jerry Roth, not bizarrely awarded the final round to the champion, Khan would have won by a single point on all three cards. I had him winning 115-112.
