Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Wants To Return in May, Rejects Horn Rematch

[JWHardin]

go away.

Manny Pacquiao has advised his promoter Bob Arum that he wants to participate in a rematch later this year against Australia's Jeff Horn.

Arum said he'll explore possible dates and venues this weekend that avoid conflict with Pacquiao's work as a senator in the Philippines.

Pac had a rematch clause, but refused to fight in Australia again. Read it and weep.

A rematch was scheduled to take place in November, but Pacquiao withdrew - citing conflicts with his political career as a senator in the Philippines.

-------------------

I was willing to do a rematch with them but they didn’t want to. And now that I am back on top and they are coming off a loss, they are asking for a rematch. No way,” Pacquiao added.

This is the same guy that fought Brandon Rios who had just lost to Alvarado.
Also the same guy that Fought Mosley who had also just lost to Mayweather.
Also the same guy that fought Clottey who had just lost to Cotto.

And Broner, fresh off a draw AND a decisive loss.

Why isn't anyone clamoring to fight Horn ??? Right, he's a nobody.

Maybe Horn vs Mundane 2 ????

Well, Horn had no choice in facing Crawford.
Arum fixed his fight against Pac so he would be facing Crawford.

And pls don't argue Arum didn't fix that fight .

Just follow the money and the money was Packy versus Crawford, no one expected Horn to fight like he did, that fight was supposed to be a little earner on the side for Arum. Look at it another way, Packy was the name, Horn was the no name so who would Arum prefer to win?

Not quite.
Crawford was going to be Arum's new meal ticket .
Pac had one more fight with Arum.
Crawford was signed for a long time .
Arum fixed the fight so Crawford would win a belt for sure .

And it shows now.

Ducking the Hornetnator is a disgrace. Doesn't want taken to boxing university again. Pacman shook after seeing Mundine getting slain.

Holy s*** this is the best comment ever, and truth be spoken you are 100% correct! I can't stop laughing at 'boxing university' though so good!

Thank you, bro. The truth stings like a hornet.

Thank you for asking.
I just don't like his excuse making. I don't like his social opinions. I don't like his calling out Floyd.
Oh yeah, great fighter, but not all THAT great. Scrounge. I'd really like to see Crawford bust him up and make him look old. Or Spence put him down for the count. Or Shawn fatigue him, and then punch him bloody and bumpy, to the point that he won't be ALLOWED to fight again in the U.S. Or Danny get some much deserved glory. And why is he afraid to get back in there with Jeff Horn?
I hope I don't offend YOU, but to each his own, ay? I don't like Manny, is all.

Spoken like someone who didn't watch Broner/Porter.

Spoken like someone who doesn't know Queensberry rules....

Thing is that Horn had the guts to face Crawford but Packy is ducking him and all the other top boxers.

Horn didn't really have a choice. Packy? Have some ****ing respect *****.
