Well this sucks. At least he tried to find another fight before accepting this one.

[The Time]

Yesssss!!! WoooooooHooooooo!!!!! I've been waiting for this fight since last year. FOTY hands down!! Best fight in boxing today and in decades since Leonard vs. Hearns!!!!

Pac just got done saying: "Horn who?????" "I dont know who this guy is!". Trying to get the Khan fight doesnt mean jumping back to Horn without trying to get a name fighter instead.

O well another pacquioa fight no one will be checking for.

Lmao......

I believe it stated in this article that neither Showtime or HBO are interested in this fight and that Top Rank is going to do their own PPV for this fight. Lol, this would be 2 independent Top Rank PPV's in a row. Pacquiao vs Vargas and now Pacquiao vs Horn. Arum should see if he can get a free TV deal. But I suspect it will be another Top Rank independent PPV

Arum the only person in the world pushing for this fight. Praying Pac and Koncz try to pull another fast one and find a different opponent lol. Time is not on Pacs side though

Better be on free TV
