    I don't know why Pac is fighting this guy. It's not like Pac was on a long layoff and needs a tune up. He fought in April and November last year.

    Arum thinks this is somehow a good fight. Pacquiao should have declined and just waited for a better opponent in the Fall.

    I never heard of Jeff Horn until Bob Arum brought him up.

    Who the **** is Jeff Horn?

    Who the **** is that guy?

    Pacquiao vs a no name

    No thanks, I'll pass.

          I'm going to pass on watching. Not because of Pacquiao, it's because of the opponent he's fighting. I just can't get myself excited enough or even care about this fight. I'm going to wait and see if his next fight is against Crawford or a big or decent name.

          Since Pacquiao fought Mayweather he has fought Bradley a 3rd time in a fight most did not want to see, then fought Jessie Vargas, a fight even more that people did not want to see. Now Horn. SMH, I can't.

          I'll pass on this one.

            Based on what? What has he done and who has he faced to make you come to that conclusion?

            They'll be 55,000 people at that fight. And the government put up $1.4 million. That's why Pac is fighting this guy

              That's all good and dandy but there were way more credible opponents he could have faced and more money could have been made as well. The Khan fight would have been good. But Arum chose this guy.

              Stadium of 55,000 and goverment paid $1.4 million, good for Australia.

              I know here in the U.S. I won't be watching. Lol

                That Khan fight was dead on arrival. The money was never there. He won't fight Crawford for less than $20 mil. The money for that fight isn't there. I don't think there's much money for a fight in the US for Pac at this time

                  Yeah I'm not referring to that fake amount of money that was proposed. Just saying in general that if Arum really wanted to, they could have figured out purses for a fight with Khan. It wouldn't have been as much as that fake proposed figure. But I'm pretty sure they all could have come up with reasonable payouts if both fighters and all managers, promoters, etc....involved all really wanted the fight. Las Vegas would have been perfect for that fight. But Arum gave us Horn instead so it is what it is.

                  If Pacquiao is the one pricing himself out, then yeah that's on him. I do recall him wanting $20 million for Crawford.

                  Hopefully in Pac's next fight it will be a big or decent name. We will see. If it's another Horn or Vargas type fighter, then I'm done with Pac.
