Comments Thread For: Arum: If Pacquiao Fight Fall Out, I'll Try For Crawford-Matthysse

[Tutsa]

I see no point in a Matthysse fight.

Title gives Manny more options in fights and a bigger paycheck winning LM title ..... I know titles don't mean **** to some fans/ fighters but it's a great bargain chip for pac promotion !

Roach: If We're Gonna Stay in Boxing, Manny Must Fight Crawford!

“[Arum] wants the Crawford fight,” Roach said Wednesday before a question-and-answer session, “Manny will fight anybody,” Roach said.

“[Arum] wants that fight,” Roach said. “The thing is, I think he’s trying to make Crawford into a bigger star. If he beat Manny, it would help. But I think Manny can beat him. The thing is, I mean, he is a good fighter. I do respect him. He’s a very good boxer. He can move. He can run like hell if he wants to. But can he beat Manny? I don’t think so.”

Roach said that before Horn kicked Manny's ass. News flash, it's 2018 and Crawford decimated Horn. Today Manny wants no part of Horn and flat refuses to fight Crawford...for any amount.

Nice try, I'll give you that.

NEXT!

because he wanted manny to fight mike alvarado instead. this way he controls who gets paid how much.

in this fight with manny and lucas, arum and TR is not the promoter, they're only handling broadcasting the fight in the US.

one thing to take into account in all this is how quiet arum and koncz is. especially koncz. i have not hear one word from koncz regarding how training is going, etc.

usually around this time, we'll get 2-3 interviews from koncz on updates on how everything is going, but for this fight, there's nothing from him.

and when arum does speak out on this fight, its not positive but negative such as what he's doing now about matching crawford with lucas if the fight with manny doesnt go thru.

You have got to catch up with what's going on. Arum wanted a rematch with Horn but Manny said no. Alvarado was Arum's 2nd choice because he's a guaranteed win for Manny. Arum only talks about the fight falling apart because Manny (the promoter) is short and hasn't made any of the cash deposits to pay for the fight. Manny said the fight is coming together but as of today Manny missed both deposit dates. Keep up man, keep up.

no, you need to keep up buddy. arum wanted pac to fight alvarado on the under card of crawford vs horn, so that it can be on ppv. pac decline and that's why the crawford/horn fight got pushed back due to an "injury". try to keep up buddy.

Ok, it makes sense.

[mathed]

Bud stops Matts in 6 rds....way too wild and Matts is a broken man now, way passed it.

[Scary_canary]

... right... it's closer to the WBA super world super belt...

Hahaha supposedly

[CLUBBER!]

I guess this officially confirms that Pac and Arum are done with each other. Bout time, but wayyy too late.

This is the type of fights we will be getting from crawford for next 2 years whilst boxing fans argue that the Spence fight must marinate first. He already beat the guy who whooped mattysse.
