Comments Thread For: Spence is Not Sure Why Pacquiao is Being Overlooked at 147

How long are they gonna wait, though? Dude is already bordering on 39 years old. They're gonna get his ass killed. Not that Bob gives a f**k. For him it'll be like putting an old once proud horse out to pasture. But jeezus Manny was already starting to look his age against Jessie Vargas...waiting for another 12 to 18 months or God forbid even longer to make a fight with Terence Crawford...that would be very, very ugly.

for as long as he still bring in enough money for arum. when this stops, thats when we get pac vs crawford.

why would arum not wanna do pac vs crawford??? this is the same promotor that get shiieted on for doing in house fights, etc.

do you really think arum cares about manny and doesnt wanna see pac get beat up? like i said, when the time is right, we'll see pac vs crawford, and depending on how the fight goes we might even get a pac vs crawford 2 and 3!

I give PAC credit for finally taking the random PED test to fight FLOYD but

CLOTTEY,RIOS,ALGEIRI,VARGAS,HORN,BRADLEY 3X,JMM 4X is ridiculous!!!

Hell will freeze over b4 PAC fights a real 147 champ.

Biggest most lucrative fight at 147 is SPENCE VS PAC. I dare anyone to dispute that fact!

for starts we know we wont ever see him fight any of the WWs who matter like thurman, brook, porter, spence, etc due to arum or whatever it is so.....

yea this^ Manny was either showing his age or his clustered schedule being a partime boxer-full time senator is too much for him at this age and stage of his career. The longer they put off the potential fight with Crawford the harder it will be for Manny if they do fight.

yeah i say this all the time n people get angry but pacs WW time has been overrated

The reason he's being overlooked, and rightfully so, is because he's fighting f**king Jeff Horn. Point blank period. If he was still trying to prove that he's one of the best (or THE best) welters and fighting the top dogs then he'd be factored into the big picture.

But when everybody who follows the sport see you opting to fight virtual unknowns like Jeff Horn then you leave the masses with no other option but to no longer take you seriously. At least until further notice.

I disagree ,he is talked about, ppl are sayin that he cant compete with young guys ,which is bull****.

Even at this age, his speed and angles are second to none. He will hit a guy from an angle with a punch that comes in at an angle and turn and circle and land that same punch that is hard for the opponent to escape. Not to mention his volume is still up there. But if he does not seek out a fight with Thurman or Spence or Crawford next, he needs to retire and quit this retirement tour. Sht or get off the pot.

He can compete, but he'll still lose. Pac is still a decent fighter but he's definitely not one of the top 3 WW. I dunno wtf Spence is talkin about. Sounds like he's just beggin Arum for a money fight

do you think bob cares about that??? he put pac in with marquez 4 times! the only guy to make pac look human and arum puts him in with that guy, 4 times! LOL.

he doesnt care how pac will perform. all he cares about is the money. manny at this stage is still bringing in more money than any of bob's other fighters. so why would bob wanna mess this up?

notice how pac's popularity has been declining in the states, so what does arum do? he stages pac's next fight in another country. this way, he'll maximize all profit.

but once he runs out of plans for manny, then that's when he's gonna make pac vs crawford. and we'll prolly get a rematch so at the end, arum profits from each guy.
