Comments Thread For: Arum Confident Pacquiao Can Restore His Old Form

he seems happy that people ask him about marquez pac 5 instead of mayweather am i only one that finds that disgusting even pac fans have to agree with that

When u r fighting top fighters like JMM regularly it is hard on the body. Pac fights JMM, Bradley and JMM all in a space of how much time? Pac has had this scedule for years and years.

That is a harder scedule than any other fighter.

all arum cares about is his golden chicken still laying golden eggs...he does not care about mayweather fight since its been off the chart for years and since marquez KO pac he knows the next fight will even generate more money, if not, close enough to what a mayweather/pac fight will generate.

Uncle Bob could sell ice to an eskimo but fact of the matter is Im sure people do ask all the time about the MP vs JMM 5 just like they did the $May vs MP but what confuses me about that statement is if people asked about the $May match, why didnt we get this one? And why are we getting an overkilled 5th fight? IMO, despite what all the MP and $May fans say the reason we never got the mega fight is and always will be Bob Arum.

Dude are you serious!!! This fight will do a million plus. A Mayweather pac-man fight would have been the biggest grossing fight of all time.

hey arum. getting knocked out unconscience is having temporary blood circulation and oxygen cut off. thats the worse kind of punishment in boxing.

That's actually not true...that's true in the case of being chocked out or bleeding out, but when you get KTFO its your brain's self defence mechanism that shuts your body down and it happens when your brain accelerates too fast in the fluid that surrounds it and as a result collides with the actual skull and your body is designed to shut itself down to prevent further damage from occurring. Either way...Arum is wrong for thinking that's not "damaging" lol its a joke to say that. A lot of people have been knocked out cold however and most of the negative effects they faced in following fights have been psychological due to the doubt and fear it puts in you more so than physiological, Arum is right in that respect, most deaths and long time injuries that occur in boxing are from fights where a guy receives countless punches to the head or back of the head and doesn't get knocked out...usually they'll slowly accumulate brain damage or the countless punches causes swelling in the brain tissue which doesn't get them knocked out, instead it swells maybe 10-15 min after a fight and puts so much pressure on the brain that they die or damage parts of the brain. Hopefully Pacquiao is healthy and won't have any problems, but fighting JMM again puts him at risk of doing just that and I would hope that Manny never fights again but we know thats not happening

Yes Arum push and push cause luckly for you when Pac starts having issues you wont be around to see it or take any responsibility.

[richardt]

Arum needs to realize, Pac is getting old.

[DeadLikeMe]

Pacquiao's jaw is shattered...he needs to retire...this is going to be really ugly if he doesn't...

your talking about a dream that will not materialize vs something that is already made. a 5th fight would be Bob's biggest payday for 2013.

And yes, i would agree, a mayweather/pac would be the all time grossing fight but until things are in signed and finalize, its all just dreams that Bob is wishing for the check.
