Arum admits he killed the pacquiao crawford fight!

[Ray*]

Arum killed a lot of fights involving Pacman in his career, thats a no shocker...

[Richard G]

The fight got killed when Pac asked for his $20 mil guarantee and Bob said no. Pac didn't duck Crawford and Crawford didn't duck Pac

Link for that claim or did you make it up?

Some education for you, one way to reject a deal is to ask for ridiculous money. Like asking for $20M in advance.

Now arum is protecting crawford. lmao.

By helping him become the first undisputed at any weight class in 12 years and then stomping out the guy who took Pacquaio's title?

[R_Walken]

Arum doesn’t give a sh.it about protecting fighters even if it is Manny

If there’s $ to be made and new stars to be made of old one then he’ll make the fight

I think the truth is if Manny stayed with Arum originally he was going to give his scalp to Bud but the last year or 2 Arum sees more potential in Loma as far as crossing over so that’s who Manny would have fought

It has nothing to do with what’s best for Manny

He didn't get that guarantee for the Vargas fight or the fight he chose instead of Crawford, Horn. He only asked for it against Crawford because he didn't want the fight, he knew he wouldn't get it. It was a duck.

Pac had this crazy idea that he should get paid more money for bigger fights. Fights that create more revenue. Like when Floyd asked for $20 mil to face Oscar & Bob said the money wasn't there but a year later he fought Oscar for $20 mil.

Man, that's got to be rough for Crawford to hear. I get that Arum feels attached to Pacquiao who did more for the company than damn near anyone, but this would have been a nice fight for him. Would have helped build his name even more.

I wonder what he told Crawford though. Because Crawford has kept mentioning in interviews and on twitter that Pacquiao turned down the fight. Did Arum just say Pacquiao turned down the fight and over priced himself? And then what did Arum tell Pacquiao? That Crawford turned down the fight? LOL, Arum would have had to play both sides of the fence there.

[Lion81]

He says something along the lines of he basically killed it to protect Pacquiao. But it's nice that he admited that was him who killed the fight.

That's the difference between Arum and Oscar.

Oscar puts up a fuss, but eventually sends Canelo into the Lions Den.

Arum protected Pac so much, that he actually lost him and Pac ended up leaving due to OVER protection. Pac wanted the smoke, but Arum didn't want his cash cow to go down in flames.

Arum is a cancer to the sport of boxing. He has charisma and is a pleasure to listen to for a certain perspective, but he needs to go.

lol fl0mos aka pbc groupies defending the bobfather wow

[SHOOTALLCLOWNS]

With admitting that, he's also admitting to a number of other things for those who know how to piece things together.

no its arum admitting he killed the fight himself don't try and twist the facts that's not a good look on your part
