He's so sloppy pick him apart get him drunk then mug him

Lets see if Crawford is willing to fight the man who retired Pacman. This is a huge step up. Arum was sounding like Crawford needs a tune up and then go after the australian assassin Horn. Just imagine how bad Indongo would have gotten massacred if he faced Horn instead. Lets hope Crawford is ready for this..

Jeff "Retirement Plan" Horn.

Trying to tell people, when you have Manny Pacquiao ducking a rematch off a loss with a guy, it's legit serious. When's the last time you've seen that? Horn is the truth

[Pigeons]

This is just Arum trying to leverage Pacquiao into accepting Australia as the venue for the rematch. Basically threatening him that the opportunity will go to Crawford if Pacquiao passes.

I still think Bob's plan is to give Horn a soft touch in November, get Crawford in against Alvarado in early 2018, and then make an ultimatum to Pacquiao. If Pacquaio passes, we'll probably see Crawford become a 3-weight champ vs. Horn in the summer of 2018. If Pacquiao relents and rematches Horn, I don't know what they'll have Crawford do in the meantime while he waits for that mess to get sorted.

Bob knows that Horn-Crawford doesn't put 50K into an Australian stadium like Horn-Pacquiao II would. He wants the rematch first before feeding the winner to Crawford.

wow, didn't see this coming

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

I think Arum is not telling the whole story. From articles I read, Pac wants the rematch in the Philippines or some neutral country with new officials.

Arum isn't down with that. Seems like Team Pac is considering Dubai And the UAE again.

Of course he isnt telling the whole story. Pac wants nothing to do with Australia and I don't blame him. I highly doubt Pac would reject a Vegas fight.

Horn would be a good tune up fight for Crawford to welcome him to the welterweight division.

[wlad1111]

Crawford would be way to sharp for sloppy Horn. Crawford would most likely knock him out if not a decision so wide not even corrupt judges would help him.

Crawford will still whoop his ass at Brisbane

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.
