Comments Thread For: Arum Eyes Crawford-Horn, Pacquiao Rejects Rematch in Australia

[Boxopera]

Pac finally says no to Arum. 10 years too late.

[ShoulderRoll]

With all the money Pacquiao has made you over the years you can't make one homecoming fight happen for him?

That's Bob Arum for you. No loyalty.

[DeadLikeMe]

He helped fill a 50,000 stadium
..plus viewership peaked at 4.4 million.

SO yes, he is still relevant.. But clearly past prime and winding down his career.

More people in the US were willing to pay $100 to watch Floyd fight an exhibition than were willing to watch Pacquiao for free on ESPN. That's ****ing insane. Horn-Pac was a good fight too.

So Bob makes an enormous amount of money on the fighter who he swore he was devoted to and had the best interest in, but when it comes time for Pac to have one final fight to send him off into the sunset, all Arum can say is "don't expect me to pay for it." What a ***** a---hole. F--- you Bob Arum. This is the crap people will remember about this greedy piece of crap. Sucks all the life and every drop out of these guys and he can't even help them out for old times sake. After the hundreds of millions of money Pacquiao has made, and this is how he is treated.

I expect no different from that money grubbing prick. He's jobbed Manny twice now after all the money he's made off of him over the last decade. No offense to ***s but Arum really lives up to all of the greedy *** bast@rd stereotypes. Manny deserves a lot better. If Pacman was American he would have been one of the biggest stars ever to come along in boxing. At least Manny is doing something great with his fame and serving those less fortunate.

McGregor had a lot to do with that though. Just look how Floyd did on the ppv numbers against Berto who is a lot more well known than Horn.

Idk the in and outs of pacs contract with Arum but if he could he should just cut all ties and pull a Mikey Garcia and just fight independently for his final fight. Pacquiao is damn international star. With his popularity fading and way past his prime he was able to draw almost 5 million Americans to watch him fight some nobody from Australia that no one in the u.s. had ever heard about and put 50,000 asses in an arena to watch it. Think about that for a second. What in the hell does he need Arum for?

Yep after Pacs made Top Rank millions being their cash cow this old assh0le who is gonna die soon anyway wont even dig in his pockets to give him a farewell fight

What a scum bag i remember after JMM knocked out Pac, Arum was already promoting the rematch in the post fight interview he didn't even care about Mannys health jus had a big grin on his face

[HarvardBlue]

fact is, an out of prime old pac is 10 times more exciting to watch than fraud mayweather jr. "peeleft:

I bet every sentence you ever say have the words "Fraud" and "Mayweather".

Do the buses run out where you live?

[JuniorTorres720]

It seems like Manny wants to have a big homecoming fight to possibly retire and ride off into the sunset. Why else would he be so adamant about having the fight take place in his native Philippines? Arum just doesn't care for Pacquiao it seems. After everything Pacquiao brought in for Arum and company you would think Arum would be generous and grateful enough to give back to Manny. Pacquiao should look to do business with someone else to be honest.
