    That is simply untrue.

      Like all mandatories are adhered to LOL Horn was up for the fight and unlike the duckers he made no attempt to get out of it. Ooooh, I hurt my hand, boo hoo.
      And Horn fought a dinosaur in Australia right after getting spanked by Crawford b/c that is the largest check he can get.

      Err, Horn had no choice but fight Crawford . He wasn't going to get stripped and because he was sleeping with Bob, he had to go to Vegas.
      No promoter in Brisbane was going to outbid Bob.

      Horn is a one-hit wonder. Kinda like that fat chick in Muriel's Wedding.

          If horn wants to be relevant and considered as worthy opponent he need to win a belt.

            I don't think he had an issue with the rematch, Pac had a rematch clause. So the onus would be on Pac to exercise it, from what i gathered Pac didn't want to go to Australia again for that fight. Which pretty much killed it.

                SO now that Manny says he will not fight Horn the delusional pac fans are trying to make it Horn's fault. SMDH!!

                    The deal had a re-match in Australia too and Pacquaio didn't want it. Horn then had his voluntary defense and was mandated to fight Crawford (which he didn't seem eager to fulfill talking about making more money with Mundine etc.

                    I don't like Horn and I do think he lost to Pacquaio but he sure did well milking his 15 minutes. He released a book, went on the type of tour talking at banquets which retired legends do and despite the Crawford humiliation is still talking trying to stay relevant. Sure, he's delusional but for such an average fighter with a gift lucky win over a faded legend he's made it make money for him.

                    He had Wilder like excuses for the Crawford loss. Left his shoes in Australia, Top Rank sabotaged him setting him in a hot gym (its Las Vegas in June), referee cheated him, would never lose in an Australian ring etc;

                      everyone is calling pac, he's the cash cow of the welterweight and the A side.
