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

C'mon Dunn...he's still risking his life and quite honestly which of the three other boxers involved in this card is going to sell out anywhere but their hometown, hell sell out pretty much anywhere?

I agree with all of you saying it won't sell on PPV. I respect this point but if Bob would just put the fight in Nebraska and on regular TV it would be a packed arena, hot crowd, and a great TV atmosphere.

It is not going to do well in Vegas or NYC.

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.

He fought a whole army of champions, his easiest opponents were killer Mexicans during his rise. Someone's not being a star and having losses on his record doesn't mean he is a 'tomato can' as ppl love to call here. I think your comment is too simple on this one being really disrespectful .

Insulted? After the way he fought against Floyd he should be happy to even get put on PPV. Ungrateful. Guy has such an outsized sense of his own value at this point.

Manny has to understand that right now he is a rich man's Gabe Rosado or James Kikrland.

he is a gatekeeper albeit in a rich neighborhood.

blame gayweather jr for hugging and running.

Hey Pacquiao sorry to say but now you know how Marquez felt after some of those decisions. Either way the fact the horn fight was close was the real problem.

Terrence Crawford needs to get out of Top Rank before he is forced to fight Jeff Horn 3 times or Timothy Bradley comes out of retirement to fight him, Bob does not have a future for Bud, follow the footsteps of Mikey Garcia, Bam Bam Rios and Jessie Vargas

I hear you but man, paying out 4 million for the main event with a nebraska gate is tough. I'm not sure what prices are there but my boy from Ohio said Broner hometown fights were dirt cheap to fill up the arena so I can only imagine its the same way with Crawford. Maybe they can pay someone to help drive interest but no Pac on the card is going to kill sales on this one and that's fkd up for Crawford.

It's always about Floyd with these casuals. The Floyd fight happened way too late and we're already passed it. Maybe you should too and maybe develop to have some non-Floyd related comments.
