Comments Thread For: Arum: We've Had Tentative Talks For Crawford-Pacquiao; Both Fighters Want It

Ok, Brandon Rios was world class coming off a loss and so was Broner coming off two losses.
But using your own logic, you don’t like Crawford so all his opponents were farmers.

Let me guess, Floyd fought farmers as well and lost to PAC too!! Lol

Brandon Rios had just lost a close fight to Mike Alvarado so I wouldn't say he was completely shot or anything. Also, Rios was seen as a good test for Pacquiao with Manny coming off that devastating knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez.

Broner wasn't seen as a threat but then again nothing is a given, especially when a fighter is 40+ years old.

I never said anything about Crawford in my post and I don't think all of his opponents were "farmers". I strive to be objective

You guess incorrectly because I don't think Floyd fought all "farmers" either and I had him winning the Pacquiao fight 116-112.

but i thought arum said pac didnt want it and that's why arum didnt make the fight when pac was still with TR?? lol.. been telling yall, aint nobody avoiding crawfish lol. it was ARUm who didnt wanna make the fight before.

yeah, it's very obvious that arum don't want to put crawford against pac.

I suppose I was wrong about you. I just assumed you’re like all those delusional Manny fans. Forgive me.

I stick to one thing though; Manny could have fought better fighters than the guys he fought.
When Mosley got beat by Floyd, there was no reason for Manny to fight him Mosley right after. And this was in 2011.
Considering he beat the undefeated Thurman, I know Manny had the tools to fight legit guys. That’s all I’m saying.

Spence doesn’t want to fight anyone right now. Through the g**** vine they say him and his people turned down Pacquiao, and if so they obviously aren’t letting him near Crawford, nvm PBC’s usual habit of hiding their champions away from outside threats. He needs some Maurice Lee’s.

Are you an Arum-sucker?

The Bobfather Arum is fond of throwing Pacquiao under the bus even if the bus is running. The biggest liar in the sport. Arum is now saying Pacquiao reached out to him for the Crawford fight when in reality he's the one contacted Pac.

Pacquiao would take DUD's Zero a-la Keith Thurman!

Fair enough, and I think the Mosley fight happened just because Shane still had a name to help sell the PPV. I know that Manny also fought Marquez for the third time that year, which was justified given their rivalry up to that point. Who would you rather have seen Pacquiao fight instead? I don't have his Boxrec pulled up or anything but which of his opponents would you replace? And for who?
