Comments Thread For: Arum Sets The Record Straight on Relationship With Pacquiao

[Sweet Jones]

Exactly. Steve Kim seems to be Bob Arum's own personal boxing writer.

If this was PBC taking heat do you think Kim would be giving Al Haymon a platform to "set the record straight?" Hell no.

Well, Steve Kim is also now the News Editor for this site (boxingscene.com), so keep that in mind when you consume stories here:

Time to set Manny free Pharaoh Bob. Haven't you leeched off him enough already?

[original zero]

hilarious headline because arum didn't set the record straight at all!

setting the record straight would be confirming or denying whether manny is a free agent or not . . .

Arum did not really answer much...

[TexasCowBoy]

Why make that fight? I am just curious as to what Pacquiao did to justify fighting Crawford?

So that the proverbial torch gets taken away from pacs greedy little fingers

[Nightfall]

that may have been pacquiaos last fight under his top rank contract but i bet sneaky Arum is contractually attached to the rematch clause

He is. In fact Manny hadn't even got to the showers yet and Bob was already discussing rematch legal points, among which was him squashing the idea that a rematch could take place anywhere outside of Australia. The ink was barely dry on those scorecards and he was already confirming that they were "legally obligated" to return to Australia for the rematch

"There is a contract..." Let's see how this plays out! I don't think Manny has it in him to fight Arum over a contract dispute! I think he's done folks!

That's something to keep in mind.

Manipulation of the media by those with power and money is a serious problem.

They are supposed to be our watchdogs not sellouts.
