Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Threatens to Sue Top Rank Over Matthysse Fight, More

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Meh. From the looks of it, dont think it's about the money. that fight was not even a ppv event. and it was meant to be his tune up after a year long layoff and a loss

Bob Arum came back from the philippines and said no deal.

pacquiao looks like he wants loma, and is pressuring top rank to it

but loma said they want none of that work

now we are here

Loma is small for 135. I believe what Loma said was that the fight with Pac would have to be at 135, not 140.

Pac finally woke up from his state of quietude considering there is a preponderance of evidence known to fans that Top rank has been ripping him off all these years.

watch those IRS issues magically re appear

Haha right!

Pacquiao is a funny guy. Doesn't want to fight in the US to avoid Uncle Sam. Gets a deal for broadcasting in the US whilst fighting overseas, doesn't get paid and tries to sue.

You need to pay the man son!

Dirty Business! A lot of GREED in boxing and a lot of fighters get robbed blind and the fans we typically don't give a damn as long as we get the fights we want to see.

I think Pacquiao just wants to get away from Arum completely to be honest

Wonder if Oscar/Matty got any of this ESPN television money???

Oscar has a deal with ESPN so I'm assumimg he got something.

Loma is small for 135. I believe what Loma said was that the fight with Pac would have to be at 135, not 140.

And pacquiao is small for 147, and started at 105 pounds.

Loma walks around at a similar weight to manny nobody is asking him to make a career at 140, he is fighting a washed up pacquiao in a one off why wont he accept?

If pacman can hang with guys 20 pounds more than him on fight night and is one inch shorter than loma why cant loma fight pacman at 140?

[hectari]

So who is he suing?? Top Rank, ESPN or both? Either way I don't know why he would want to get into some long legal battle at this point. I doubt this goes anywhere.

Apparently every american company involved, from too rank, espn, golden boy and oscar de la hoya
