WHY is manny fighting Horn?

[pacmanis1]

Horn's team has video of Pacquiao and Arum gang raping a kangaroo and said without the fight they'll release it.

[Dr Rumack]

This is the sort of event you get when these guys are on their pension tours. Garbage fight. But Manny will be in a few more of these before he finally bows out.

[Biolink]

Australia is subsidizing the event. Someone is putting up serious money for Pac to show up in Australia.

[Combat Talk Radio]

He went life and death with Ali Funeka who i was like "is that dude still fighting wtf"

Got rocked and dropped and was out on his feet for like 90 seconds.

Then after the fight he started talking and sounds like his balls havent dropped and he's like "im ready for manny"

I laughed my ass off

and now Pac is fighting him?

wtf

You failed to mention that

- Ali Funeka is in the same age radius as Manny
- Ali Funeka has the same amount of losses as Manny
- Ali Funeka has held multiple championships on the international stage
- Ali Funeka went up weight classes very similar to Floyd
- Jeff Horn stopped Randall Bailey
- Jeff Horn stopped Ali Funeka

I'm not going to tell you that it's an even matchup with him and Manny. But I will stick to my guns that Jeff Horn from Australia takes Manny Pacquiao the distance.

PACs 8 division titilist, had nearly 70 fights, is Fotd so he can fight whoever he wants as far as I'm concerned

[AliBombaye]

Manny's team CLEARLY wanted Khan but his slave owner Arum wanted Horn and being the obedient slave Manny is, he has to oblige.

See man, this is where I'm at. As I've said, yes, obviously as a fan of Manny and the sport of boxing itself -- of course I'd rather see him in a fight of more significance in terms of overall relevance.

But damn, I mean I know a whole bunch of motherf**kers hate the guy with all of their heart, but jeezus man, the guy has been fighting professionally since 1995.

1995.

There's f**kers here who weren't even born yet when he started fighting professionally. Including some of which I'm sure who are among the quickest to dog pile on a b-scene Manny trashing session.

The guy is on the doorstep of 40 and is about to partake in his 68th career pro fight. Prior to this fight, the guy has been on a run of 18 straight fights against five star rated opposition, the highest rated level they issue a fighter per boxrec, which dates all the way back to when he fought Barrera.

Meanwhile guys like Danny Garcia are fighting 3 (Samuel Vargas) and 2 star (Salka) opponents in their prime. Wilder hasn't fought a single five star opponent yet, and only two of his fights in his ENTIRE CAREER have even reached the 4 star level. Terence Crawford has fought just 2 five star rated opponents in his last 6. Golovkin, at age 35, has fought 7 five star rated opponents total up to this point.

Freaking Pacquiao fought 18 in a row leading up to this fight...cut the old man some damn slack for f**k's sake.

The standards for PAC are too high. That's how highly rated he is.
Until anyone achieves what he's done then nobody can criticise his next opponent,
If PAC self proclaimed he's the best ever. Then I might crituciuse PACs opponent but other than that PACs beyond reproach because we all know PAC would fight Floyd in a heartbeat.
Anyone who criticises PACs opponenent should be viewed with su****ion

[Robbie Barrett]

Pacquiao fans still blaming it all on Arum. Pacquiao chose Horn, he had no problem telling Arum to go **** himself when he thought he was getting $40 mil. He could have still fought Khan, he chose not to. He could have fought Crawford but demanded $20 mil for a fight that will likely sell less than 500k PPV, pricing himself out. Pacquiao is a cherry picker.

[Eff Pandas]

Because when Arum acquired the US rights to promote Joseph Parker a lesser known fact is he also acquired the US rights for Jeff Horn.

So this is basically an in house fight where Arum's long term upside probably becomes better if Manny loses since no one else on TR's roster has shown an ability to beat Manny.
