WHY is manny fighting Horn?

[KayDub]

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.

Homey, Funeka has never won a world title.

Pacquiao is a cherry picker.

Again, the guy is f**king 38, dude. Been fighting professionally since 1995. 68 career pro fights.

If he can go to Australia and pack a 60,000 seat venue and earn north of 10 million dollars or whatever the hell it's going to be, why not do it?

Let me repeat...the guy, for f**k's sake, is 38. Most of the keyboard warriors here at 38 won't even be able to play five minutes of full court pickup basketball at 38 without calling 911 because of chest pains.

If the guy can go make millions fighting Jeff freaking Horn in Australia in front of a 50K or 60K filled to capacity arena then why the f**k not

[SN!PER]

Because he wanted some quick cash before Crawford retires him.

Australian dollars doe.

Some one or some people are putting huge money to have a huge fight in australia. Bob won't even consider this **** unless there is $$$ involved.

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

The dude fought the hard and brutal way and made it to the top. Compared to these new fighters that are too pampered these new kids wants to earn millions for fighting bums while pacquiao started getting paid 2$ for a fight enough to buy food LOL

[GhostofDempsey]

Shyt fight for sure, but for some unknown reason Horn is ranked #2. This is also a chance for Bob to showcase Conlan and get him international exposure. Hopefully there will be someone more compelling for him to fight in November.

[Hatesrats]

Because Arum wants this... (His employee has no choice)

[boliodogs]

I guess he wanted an easy fight since I think he will make about the same money as he would for fighting a much better opponent. I like to watch Pacquiao fight but I like it much more when he fights guys who can put up a good fight.

People gave PAC passes for lackluster fights for years, so now they've taken it to the next level. Really though, he should have just fought and KO'd Khan, would had loved to see that, but Bob must've felt threatened by Khan IMO.

[A.K]

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.

The hypocrite in you is real, Floyd gets a pass for picking on a guy who hasn't even had a professional boxing match
