This is embarrassing for Manny on so many levels, but at lest we can watch it without a hassle.

Wasn't planning to watch before, but now I'll give it a look.

Manny still deserves better. His fans should be protesting Arum lol

Nice. I was hoping he would take it to showtime as they said they were interested but seeing as how Bobs relationship with HBO seems to be deteriorating he probly didnt want to burn anymore bridges while his fighters (Loma & Crawford) still fight on HBO. Bringing Manny to HBOs competitor would probly be the last HBO takes of the old man's crap.

Not the fight any1 wanted but if it's free I won't complain. There's definitely a difference between being unknowndeal. being a ****ty fighter. I guess we'll know which one Horn is soon enough. My guess is that he's probly about the same level as Jessie Vargas. (Not a bum, but not Good enough to beat any A level fighters)

Good for ESPN they would have benefited more if this news or deal had come about 2weeks sooner.

They knew no one would buy this garbage so good move.

Cool I'll watch it now just to see PAC again. **** fight but a tough least BOB is not trying to stick it in our azz with a PPV

ESPN is already hyping this up I just watched First take a few hours ago.

Arum just said on First take if Pacquiao fights any other fighter like Spence, thurman or Crawford, it will have to be on ESPN PPV ?, but with Horn the reason its able to be on Free TV stateside is because of the domestic income from Australia the fight is hot in Australia and they will make the majority of money from there.

Arum also said the plan for Crawford is to have him fight on ESPN against Indongo for the undisputed 140 pound champion, Crawford owns two belts and Indongo owns Two

Man that would be dope, Crawford has to be p4p number 1 if he is able to become undisputed at 140.

I mean he's getting paid $10 mill guaranteed to fight on ESPN. He got paid less to fight Vargas on TR PPV & probly less from Bradley 3 HBOPPV.

I agree he does deserve better but with Bob running the show it is what it is.

but in all honesty he's probly getting overpaid for this particular caliber of a fight.

[Jsmooth9876]

WOW so he's pulling Crawford from HBO ? That's bigger news than this Pacquaio fight

LOL I always laugh wehn reading the comments on those ESPN articles, the usual black floyd fans making it about money, why do they care so much its not their money, they putting comments hating on Pacman fighting on ESPN wtf who gives a ****, its awesome in my book.

I enjoy those PBC fights too on free tv, but why do these pro blacks always gotta hate on Manny or a non black on the comments saying oh the mighty have fallen, or saying Pac is not getting paid, or Pac aint **** he dont make money mays money, wtf seriously are you boxing fans why you always worried about money and ego as if you are Floyd makes no sense.

They stay hating on Manny while their TBE is fighting a 0-0 mma fighter and yet they have no anger toward that, they loe claiming everyone else is bias yet they are the most bias and hating.

Because he took a **** fight and he's got no excuse. People give fighters a pass if its the biggest fight, this isn't it's just garbage.
