Comments Thread For: A Close Look at Manny Pacquiao's Options for November Return

That's how bad it is for you Aussies looking for Russians to claim as Australian because Australia has few real men that ever lived there. The Aborigines are the men in Australia.[/QUOTE]

Kostya Tszyu chose to fight out of Australia and call himself "The Thunder from Down Under". Spin it how you want....he's a great Champ who fought out of Australia.

I hear Brandon Rios is back.

Has Arum confirmed or denied this is the last fight on Manny's current contract? Seen Manny said that a few days back, but have yet to hear Arum's retort on that comment. If Manny is free of TR after this one, things could get interesting.

O.K., all viable options for Manny! Why does Floyd always get a pass but the expectations for Manny is to always fight an up and coming young lion when these type of articles are never written about Floyd?

Berto beats Horn with both hands tied behind his back, thats why.

[richardt]

Didn't the Phillippino confirmed Horn is his last fight with Arum?
He can't get rid of Mr Bob can he?

Thats what I heard too but Arum is great at seducing fighters. Not sure if Pac will change directions in his waning moments of his career but whatever it takes for Pac to go for at least one last big one would be his best decision.

The one that makes the most sense is Vs. Crawford...
The one that makes the most $ense is Vs. Broner/Garcia winner.

All the best welters are with Haymon. I'd pay to see Manny sign with PBC and try to clean house.

Surprised there was no mention of Lucas Matthysse, fan friendly fighter who's proven to be beatable, sounds perfect for Arum and Manny.

Yea there are a lot of interesting fights for Manny on the PBC side. I'm hoping he is free, but I'm doubting he is cuz these contracts tend to be less clear then one would think they are more often then not + I've heard more fighters say they are promoter-less when they aren't then they said they were free & they were.

If Lucas was younger they probably would. The fact he's with GBP is probably a dealbreaker.

My assumption would be thinking about the business of boxing is you'd ideally wanna get Manny beat by a younger guy, who's signed with TR & who can become some caliber of a draw largely off of a Manny W.

If Horn hadn't gotten picked up by Arum in that Duco deal with Parker he might not even be fighting Manny now.
