Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Wants Purse for Crawford to be Worth the Risk

[The Big Dunn]

Again, rewriting history. It was Floyd who ducked prime Manny and Mosley. He also ducked Stevie Johnston, Casamayor, Freitas, Williams, Margarito, prime Cotto, Bradley, Martinez, GGG, and a rematch with Oscar. Why would anyone duck Floyd? He's not known as a KO artist and there would have been money to be made. Floyd doesn't end fighter's careers.

It makes sense that he waited Manny out until he slowed down and lost a step (even his father feared for Floyd's safety), same as he did with Cotto, Mosley, and Judah. Zab was coming off a loss to Baldomir, how did he get that fight? Maidana beat a guy who was 13-3-1 right before he beat Broner, how does he get two fights with Floyd? Meanwhile, Floyd is ducking opponents by picking apart their resume? That's the excuse he used to dodge Mosley and Pac, yet didn't have a problem fighting Baldomir with 9 losses, or Ortiz, Guerrero and Berto who all beat one another to get their shot at Floyd. LOL.

You're trying to say that MAB's corner deliberately entered the ring to avoid a KO loss on his record? That's insane. MAB was head-butted and cut, simple as that.

Like I said, if Floyd didn't fight them, you call it a duck. When they don't fight Floyd, you call it something else.

Judah fight with Floyd was signed prior to him fighting Baldo, same as Manny/Morales rematch was signed before Morales lost to Raheem. Any real fan knows this. You however don't. Speaks volumes and proves my point about your special filter.

They can't help themselves.

All those years of Arum name dropping Floyd to promote Pac's fights left them brainwashed. Now they can't separate the two.

Yet back on page 3, it was a Floyd fan who brought him into the discussion. Never fails. They can't help themselves, same way Floyd can't help but steal the spotlight from his own fighters.

In case you forgot, it was Floyd himself who said he let that fight "Marinate", which in and of itself is an admission of waiting out Pac until he lost a step. Even then, he needed an illegal IV to help "rehydrate". Imagine if ANY other fighter tried to pull that shyt.

No it isn't. Manny turned the fight down over drug testing. That isn't letting the fight marinate. Manny didn't want the $40 mil , no ppv offer, that isn't letting the fight marinate. Manny allowed Bob's future son in law to give him stitches he didn't need so he couldn't fight Floyd before he went to jail. That isn't letting the fight marinate.

FLoyd says he is TBE, you don't agree. You pick and choose which Floyd statements you decide to take literally and those you don't.

Go back to you special filter.

All your points are the exact tactics Floyd used to duck him all those years. Those were his excuses. First, make a false accusation of drug use to duck him, then when he agrees to testing (once the lawsuit was settled) move the goal post and use PPV numbers and quality of opposition to avoid him, then offer $40M which is basically less than 10% of the purse, insist on him leaving Arum then the fight gets made, and on it goes. The Best Excuses...ever!

So shortening the cutoff date to accommodate Manny was ducking. yeah, right. The $40 mil was 30% more than he ever made, but you see that as a duck move.

I get it, no matter what blame Floyd. Ok.

Well let's hope Manny shows some guts and fights Crawford.
