Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Felt Insulted, Walks From Alvarado Bout on April 14

[sicko]

I don't blame him. Alvarado is a **** fight and for him to be Co-Main Event

Also Arum is DONE WITH HIM! He only wants Pacquiao to cash him out to Loma or Crawford to help create his next big star

[boxing90]

Pacman is a main event, should never be on top ranks under card they owe him that much... he should of been left top rank a while ago hopefully Terrance Crawford leaves before its to late.

Respect to Pacquiao. Seriously. He is a legend and should be treated as such, but....

He could have just fought Crawford if he wanted to headline so badly...

You felt you won the fight vs Horn. So move on from the “robbery” and fight top guys if you want to headline PPV.

But if he ends up fighting Matthysse instead, great. I believe that’s still a PPV worthy fight IMO. Clearly not as big, or significant as a bout v TC, but w Pacquio being the legend he is he can carry that card if promoted properly and expectations are realistic.

Neither Crawford, nor Lomachenko, are bigger draws than Pacquiao. Until that happens, Pacquiao is the headliner! If no Matthysse, then I'm hoping for Lomachenko at 140lbs. in the fall!!!

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao has no interest in fighting on Top Rank's planned card for April 14 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Pacquiao was being lined up to face former junior welterweight champion Mike Alvarado, in a co-featured slot to Terence Crawford's challenge of WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn.

How is it not a single Pacman fan is aghast at the idea that their idol is fighting Alvarado? Who the hell has Alvarado beat?

Pacman fought Brandon Rios who had lost to Alvarado and not a soul said shyt.
He fought Algieri no one said shyt.
He fought a virtual unknown Horn no one said shyt.
He fought a deyhydrated Oscar, Cotto and Margarito and not a soul said shyt.
He has NEVER fought a true WW belt holder or even a legit Jr WW belt holder and nobody says shyt (Bradley and Hatton were both jokes).
Now he wants to fight Alvarado not a soul says shyt

Yet this is the guy who Floyd is supposedly ducking?

About time Manny does what he wants. Now go make the fight with Matthysse. Even as a manny fan i was getting tired of these bad fights.

[bigjavi973]

The reason why Crawford-Horn is the main event is because Pacquiao didn't want a rematch

how is this so?

[bigjavi973]

its not horn fighting some alvarado type opponent though, its him v crawford. Theres way more interest in that than pacquiao fighting mike alvarado, and thats a washed up alvarado too.

thats because pac didnt want that fight.....

he wanted his wbo rematch which is/was a possibility and somehow arum didnt get that done.

[GrandpaBernard]

who else predicting pacquiao will be the undercard after bop talks to him

Like the time he fired the accounting firm after talking to bop

[champion4ever]

he should retire then.

No, I don't think he should retire just yet. He has about two or three good years left in boxing. He should sign with Al Haymon. He has a reputation of doing right by his fighters. In addition, he can cut back on his work schedule by fighting less and once a year.

[bigjavi973]

Did he not cherry pick Jeff Horn and lose?

Look through is record and see how many fighter he cherry picked coming off of recent losses.

?????


only 3 of his last 20 fights where fighters coming off losses and before that was morales who he previously beat as well so what are you talking about?
