be real with yourself.. when has manny ever been in a fight where he got his whooped on? even the marquez fight where he got slept, he wasnt being whooped on and marquez gave him his toughest fights.

That's awesome, so it's gonna (likely) be on HBO World Championship boxing. He said free on "the biggest possible platform" which would mean HBO.

Been saying it for a while now. If Manny's gonna keep fighting guys like Chris Algieri and Jesse Vargas, that it needs to be on regular HBO. It's clear as day that Manny doesn't draw near what he used to, so his purse demands need to get in line with reality and that PPV, barring him fighting a top tier opponent with a name and a brand himself, is really (or shouldn't be) not an option at this point.

And Manny, even against Horn, will likely do terrific numbers on regular HBO as boxing fans will get to see an ATG on a non-PPV platform.

its prob going to end up in pbc, maybe nbc or something like that, those are actually the biggest plataforms, more audience, plus bobs relationship with hbo is really in bad shape, so either that or showtime...

Nah PBC, as far as I know, isn't even a possibility, is it? I thought Haymon was PBC for all intents and purposes?

So Arum talks Crawford and then ends with Indongo. That means it's Indongo folks, not Crawford.

I've heard this, and I hope it's true, but where are you guys seeing this? I saw somebody saying that it's supposed to be on regular HBO World Championship Boxing, but I searched Google and didn't see anything

Under Manny Pac. WIKI it's listed as PPV.

haymon could use pac as the main event to atract audience for his undercard fights, both sides could get benefited from this, but if it doesnt work like you said then showtime has more chances...

??? How does Crawford fight Crawford??

[kushking]

You nailed it. Manny has become a hateful narrow-minded, bigot.

I used to actually like pac,was never a fan but generally liked his character,but not any more. Hes a coward for consenting to people being killed for what they choose to use.

he is talking about making crawford and indongo and then if crawford wins, it'll be crawford and manny after.
