Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao To DAZN? Representatives Meet With Hearn

[sicko]

Arum is going to hit him and DAZN with a Lawsuit! I'm sure Arum still owns Rights to Pacquiao

[Chuckguy]

Floyd would come out of retirement and make the second fight if he signed to him that’s what he said himself

I like my scenario better but I forgot you are right so manny is chasing the money fawk it. It is what it is

Pac/Vargas 2? What does Hearn have to offer Pacquiao, unless Khan really is up for this fight?

Of course Khan wants it. Its happening Dec 1st or 8th Principality Stadium, Whyte/Chisora 2 chief support.

was in hospital before last fight and maybe because of peds

should retire but its sad because he is still fighting for money since his money has been so mis-managed by his management and arum

Arum is scum but Manny mismanaged his own finances. It's not Arums job to handle his flippant spending and the poor handling of his finances. He never got that Mayweather money but Mayweather promoted himself.

You mannys financial manager or something? How you know manny mismanaged his money? How many boxers do you know that can retire with hundreds of mils in the bank?

If Pacquiao signs with DAZN, it is what it is. I don't mind.

As soon as that DAZN app is available in the U.S. I'm going to subscribe.

Im planning to subscribe too. ESPN plus rarely shows anything but the top rank undercards unless theyre showing a fight airing at 6am US time because it takes place half way around the world. But DAZN's name is ridiculous. I feel like I should be ordering a bbq bacon chicken calzone from them while drunk at 3am.

If Mikey joins DAZN then great, if not, it will be a complete waste of time for Pac.

What does DAZN has to offer for Pac other than Khan or a rematch with Jesse Vargas?

With Top Rank, he can choose between Loma and Bud.
With DAZN his only options are Khan (or Brook) and Jesse Vargas.

Manny shouldn't sign with any of them. Just remain a free agent and co-promote with his fights with other promotional companies. With that strategy, he can fight anybody he wishes. Thurman, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Loma, Khan, etc.

Pacquiao have long tried to part ways with Mr Arum, albeit unsuccessfully. His team tried to make the Broner fight behind Arum's back. Of course, Arum learned about it and threatened them with a lawsuit. They tried again with the Khan fight and, again, got scared of Arum's threats. Pac fought Horn with a heavy heart.

Arum again attempted to stop the Matthysse fight from happening without him included as promoters of the fight. This time Pac's legal team did their homework and ignored Bobfather's threats. Even then, Pac appeased him with promising to fight Loma, not to mention give him full control of the US feed of the Lucas fight. Bob was still mad and didn't promote the fight, but instead spread this rumor about the fight having full of problems.

I’d rather Pacquiao stay with ESPN+. This DAZN app feels so low rent to me. HBO, Showtime & ESPN have established name brands for decades so I don’t know why a 40 year old Pacquiao would want to go there.

Streaming services are probably the future and are just going to get bigger. We've already seen Facebook, Amazon and YouTube dipping their toes into sports markets. It can be a much for the end customer though having to pay so many platforms if you want to watch it all
