    I can't blame him anymore for being dumb and staying with Arum. Arum is the reason for the opponent selection. As you can see from the Floyd fight and after Manny is more than willing to fight anyone even Haymon guys. Bob won't risk it without a nice incentive for himself though. Bob has always been that way.

      I don't believe that for a minute, Arum wanted Horn Manny said no he wanted Khan and Arum said Manny fights who he wants to fight.

      They swap this scenario around when ever it fits the agenda they are all prone to BSing when it suits them Manny included.

        All that **** aside... Who would you favor in a Thurman vs Pacquiao fight? I really think Manny can beat Thurman. I think Thurman is too wide, too wild, and he doesn't react that well to punishment.

          Arum and Manny best bet for the big money and big money fight is thru Broner. Manny vs Broner is PPV, if manny wants Floyd again, he needs to beat Broner, which would entice Floyd to comeback because then he would get 9 figures. BUT broner would be a live dog, in that fight, so its a big gamble. No Crawford because thats the most sure loss + Manny doesnt want it because he chose vargas, horn, and bradley over fighting Crawford and Roach also said that would be a difficult style for manny, then Manny asked for 20 Million ie I dont want that fight. So my guess would be Broner, June-July

            Good fight , Manny against a good unbeaten fighter . Not Manny against a unbeaten no named fighter (Horn) or Manny against a glass jawed fighter Khan who's only claim to fame is talking bollocks, overrating himself, beating nobodies and getting KTFO.

            If Manny and Thurman are not going to fight but they are serious then they need look no further than the Brook v Spence winner.

            Let these fighters earn these big money shots on merit and not lying hapless on the canvas.

              I think we can all agree Arum has a personal grudge against Khan.

                  Broner is a bum and Crawford is far from a draw. Khan is a draw on an international level and provided the largets PPV numbers last year with his Canelo fight.

                  I have no idea why Arum is so hellbent on not making the KHan fight.

                    Canelo could fight a flea and would still be a massive draw.Have reality check and see how Amir's PPV fights have done in the past .........if you can find anyone in the camp who are prepared to give this info! His first ppv fight in the uk when he was knocked out by a nobody in 54 seconds of round 1 did little and it went downhill from there.

                    If he fought Brook that would still do large figures as everyone wants to see him iced again but instead he's ran away twice from what would have been career high paydays.Do you really have fun in supporting someone like this ?

                    I think Bob see's a little more than you.
