Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao May Fight in Russia, Then Europe - Then Crawford

[Pigeons]

So Pacquiao is going to go from retiring in 2016 due to his responsibilities as a Senator to fighting 4 times in the next year for the first time since 2001. Bob Arum is a snake oil salesman.

Has Mr Pacquiao vacated his senatorial post or what? Can't believe this guy have a hard time saying to the old man. Is it so hard for the senator to say he's only fighting when he sees fit, at his own schedule? Why is Arum allowed to decide all these things for him? What a dumb guy.

Now I'm almost certain that Pacquiao doesn't fight Crawford in 2017:

January 11, 2017

"My goal is to have Pacquiao fight as many times as we can get away from the senate duties as possible," Arum said. "So the idea is if he fights in April and he stays in boxing shape we can fight perhaps again in July. We have an offer in Russia. And then we have an offer and would be interested in fighting [fellow welterweight titleholder] Kell Brook in England in probably October. That's a big fight.

If he fights Brook I have no issue with him not fighting Crawford

fans: "we want pac-crawford"

Arum: "pac will start 2017 with an australian uber driver, then go to fight uber drivers and garbage men in russia and europe, maybe do some type of bum of the month run, and then maybe in 2018 or 2019 might maybe possibly fight crawford"

pac: "talk to my promoter, bawb aruym"

They're talking about Pacquiao vs. Brook in October! There's no way Pacquiao is fighting Brook in October, and still fighting Crawford in 2017!

Wow first Arum say he hopes Manny retires, then he said maybe Pac fights at least 3 times now he wants Manny to fight 4 times? wtf come on Arum you scumbag just advise Manny to retire already this is sad, Arum has no shame at all.

Fighting overseas he can rob Pac blind too, he doesnt have to deal with the strict observation on American soil. smh

Pac is a tragedy waiting to happen why would you make a 39 year old aging boxer fight 4 times a year? he isnt a spring chicken and not 29. Im starting to believe Arum never paid Pacquiao that 160 million from the Floyd fight that Pac supposedly earned.

He's not fighting him this year anyway.... I'm just saying I don't care if he ever fights Crawford if he fights someone like Brook. We all know his next 2 fights are just money grabs for Arum. He better fight a Brook, Thurman/Garcia winner or Crawford in his last fight in boxing....

kovalev ROFL. pac-tards think he would whoop kovalev.

In slow motion PAC beats kovalev and Ward on the same night!

Not enough interest in weak PPV fights. Those LGBT statements, coupled with him getting KTFO, then losing to Floyd have hurt PAC. Good thing he got one big pay day out of it all.

Now, he's just side show manny!

That right, age Pacquiao another year. Make him nice and ripe for a Crawford stardom spring board.
