the name bro, the name! lol.
look at pac vs oscar
pac was on the come up but hasnt completely break out into becoming a star, but once he beat old drained oscar, it took him to the next level because oscar is a household name. nobody care that oscar was over the hill and drained, all they care was how bad manny beat oscar in that fight.
this is what loma needs right now. like i said, a win over pac will do more for him in terms of popularity than him beating mikey garcia.Comment

I think some people read or heard Arum and started rumors! Then there's also this one:
May 26, 2018:
By Jeff Aranow: Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman is rumored to be on the verge of signing with promoter Eddie Hearn, who recently signed a $1 billion, 8-year streaming deal with DAZN/Perform. Thurman, 29, is training near Tokyo, Japan, which is where Hearn was last Friday for the Jamie McDonnell vs. Naoya Inoue fight. Hearn promotes McDonnell.
Hearn signing a fighter that fights once a year might not be the wisest move on his part if he does ink Thurman. This might be a risky move on Hearn’s part. It’s like an NFL team signing a college football player coming off a knee injury. It’s risky. It might not work out. Will Hearn have to eat Thurman’s contract if turns out he’s a washed-up fighter or can he cut him and walk away after 1 or 2 fights?
On the surface, the main positive that comes from Hearn possibly signing Thurman is he might be able to get some of the other top names in the U.S to sign with his Matchroom Boxing USA stable. If the fighters hear about Hearn inking Thurman, then they might want to sign with him as well. It’s the basic herd mentality. I’m not sure it’ll work in this case, because Thurman is perceived as a fragile, part-time fighter, whose career is on the downside at this point despite him holding the WBA welterweight title.

It is hard to sell Manny? Lol, every version of Manny is bigger star than every other actual 147 fighter..
Lomachenko and Crawford are both candidates to beat Manny. My winner is Loma.
Arum doesn`t want Crawford -pacquiao. I guess Crawford will have to beat Spence and Thurman to become bigger name.Last edited by JakeTheBoxer; 06-13-2018, 08:47 AM.Comment

Mayweather and Pacquiao both became big names with beating old Oscar. That`s how it is. Joshua became a superstar with beating old Klitchko. Mike Tyson with beating old Holmes..Comment

make the fight arum. An aging over the hill pac will still beat crawford.Comment

Among the fans of the sport what you say I think is largely true. However amongst that mass of humanity known as the PPV buying public, beating a name they recognize means everything.
That said, while Pac is not what he used be, he would be far and away Crawford’s toughest test to date. I’d favor Crawford of course but it’s still a test.Comment

Not a chance, Loma is getting more promotion than Bud is, it's simple!
Bob thinks Loma is more marketable than Crawford despite that Bud speaks English, accomplished more in the pro ranks, and has an actual homebase full of fans, ditto Omaha!
Bob just admitted he rather have Pac fight Loma who's a lightweight than Bud who's in the same weight class as Manny!
