Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Blame Me if Pacquiao-Horn Isn't a Competitive Fight!

[ConRaffery]

Manny keeps picking cherries and bob keeps defending him... Same crap different day

You da man JASONSHAW

He obviously enjoys what he does if he has gone for this long and because he is still going at this age my guess is he will keep going until some sort of health issue prevents him from continuing

True, when your passion is your job you will work at it in some capacity until the day you die.

I blame Arum for a lot but this is on Team Pacquiao. He's not some unknown avoided fighter. He easily could have gotten a fight that was tolerable. He and his team took the fight so screw them.

I still blame Arum because its not like he is cherry picking outside of Top Rank, everyone of his opponents (dating back for ages now) except probably floyd has been the choice which is in Arum's best interest.

I never understood why back around 2010-2013 he didn't leave Top Rank and adopt the Floyd model of promoting himself. He was a big enough name back then to pull it off successfully. I could be wrong but I reckon Arum has dirt on him and that's why he could never leave.

Yeah. Mayweahter your hero is worst. He's fighting a MMA fighter with zero record in boxing mate.

Given that pac v horn is for a world title I would say they are just as bad as each other.

I will be interested to see what the actual attendance for this will be. There are still thousands of tickets available with prices as low of AUD$35/USD$25. I work in Brisbane and there is not exactly a buzz about the fight. I only know 2 people who are going.

The Hall-of-Fame promoter pushed for this welterweight title fight to take place after watching Horn win against Ali Funeka from a ringside seat December 10 in Auckland, New Zealand. Horn (16-0-1, 11 KOs), a big underdog who's essentially anonymous among American boxing fans, survived a third-round knockdown to stop South Africa's Funeka (39-6-3, 31 KOs) in the sixth round on the Joseph Parker-Andy Ruiz undercard six months ago.

you just gotta watch, listen, and read between the lines.....

I said this just a few days ago, and most Pac fans have never even heard of Goodman or Trampler

so.....

so, THIS fight was not selected by Trampler/Goodman ?

really ?

now, why would Arum come out and say that..... ?????

oh, right..... because Pacquiao's other opponents WERE indeed selected by Trampler/Goodman, mostly Trampler

when it became obvious to Arum/Trampler back in Dec 2009 that Mayweather would never relinquish his testing demands..... it became just as obvious to those guys that Mayweather would have to be Pacquiao's last fight, or very close to it.,.... because the bubble would burst and the manny-cow would run dry

they were more than happy to risk throwing the 1200+ punch swarmer version of Pacquiao in there with Mayweather, the version who fought Clottey instead..... but the normal 500-600 boxer-puncher version of Pacquiao who would have fought Mayweather had he agreed to the testing, had very little chance of beating Mayweather over 12 rounds

#styles

those guys are the best in the business

THAT is why Arum faked a negotiation in order to obtain funding and a date for the Margarito fight after Pac fought Clottey..... then came the "cold war" that Arum conveniently manufactured from that failed "negotiation"..... giving further justification for the delay

for proof..... there is NO reason to refuse random blood tests if a fighter is clean..... ands Pacquiao's ridiculous excuses disappeared overnight..... those 8 excuses were never mentioned once since May/Pac spoke at that knicks game

Arum fk'd everyone over back in 2010, mostly Schaeffer and Greenberg, but he also fk'd over a TON of gullible fans..... and they were PACQUIAO fans LMAO

smart ^^

good one

[aboutfkntime]

Good money for a walk in the park cant blame them.

Arum and Manny both know its safer to fight Horn for lower money and win, than to fight TC Thurman Spence and lose. Arum has done this very same sht all the way with Manny, the moment Manny went to 140 the shenanigans started, and the shenanigans have always been in the match making of Manny.

Nothing new here with Arum and Team Pac.

even smarter ^^
