Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Ready To Fight, We're Looking For April Date

[HarvardBlue]

If it's not Horn or Crawford then who would it be?

I can't believe Arum wanted Pacquiao on an undercard match. That is beyond insulting. Pacquiao deserves better than that.

really? They don't care about such news. This forum basically runs for black racists, some ****s, and Floyd's pocket, new car, investments news.

I think your right. But hey they just posted Danny Garcia vs.100 year old Brandon Rios!!! Whos NOT excited about that lol.... I dont think I could go on living if they didn't make that fight. It's only about 3 years too late.

Horn said he wants $4M to fight Crawford. I don't see that happening, so he may just decline that fight. He's been talking about fighting Mundine, and he may just get stripped.

Not a lot of options for a compelling fight for Manny in April. It would be nice if he could get Matthysse. Alexander is also on the comeback trail as well.

fight horn or retire manny, you have nothing left

A couple of things worried me that Bob said.

Manny doesn’t want to fight in an undercard and he wants an interesting fight (when he returns)

We signed him up for three fight in 2018 and if he does well, we will sign him up again for another three (in 2019).

We are going to make him a star.

Even a remote reference to an undercard is a bit unsettling. Something is going on with his relationship with Pacquiao.

3 fight deals are never a good thing.

He IS a star, what do you mean you're going to make him a star!? Not sure if Bob is stoned here or what but the vagueness is worrisome.

The 3 fight deal and the star comment was about the Ancajas guy Pacquiao represents. The undercard part was about Pac and yeah that was a pretty dumb comment.

Ahh ok my fault. I just got up and am drinking coffee. Not 100% yet. Thanks!

he's not gonna put pac in with loma or crawford right away.. that'll be a suicide move for top rank.

manny isnt completely done yet, if arum put pac in with loma or crawford now and pac some how comes out on top then that would decrease loma and crawford's chance of being a star.

pac will prolly be done fighting after 2018, crawford and loma still have years ahead of them. arum will make pac fight someone else first, then he'll make pac fight crawford after that.

I see what you are saying and I don’t disagree but the point I was making is that he’s much more likely to fight Loma than he his Crawford. Despite Crawford being he logical choice.

Yea everything he said is pretty damn weird and doesn't make much sense

respectfully disagree. if arum is looking to have crawford be his next cash cow, then crawford needs to fight manny. a win against manny will benefit crawford more so than loma if he beats pac because if loma/pac takes place, it'll be at 140 pac hasnt fought in the lower weight in years) where as for pac/crawford, it'll be at 147. i see arum doing pac vs crawford maybe at the end of 2018 for manny's final fight.
