Comments Thread For: Arum: "Pacquiao Speed Will Be Too Much For Clottey"

[Baracka Flocka]

would you rather him not give his honest opinion. every promoter makes a fight with the obvious plan on who will win. it doesn't always end up that way. arum has an opinion like everyone else. he thinks manny will be too fast and maybe he will be, or maybe he wont.

Honestly, I rather he keep his decesion to himself. You can have many children and one child goes to Harvard and becomes a major success while the other goes to prison for a number of years. A fair loving parent is still going to speak positive about both of their children.

My point is, yes we all know that Arum rather have Pacquiao win. It's his cash cow. That makes perfect and common sense.
However, as a potential viewer of the fight, you telling me the fight is worth purchasing but yet you're telling me that Pacquiao is going to be too much for the man he was matched against as a challenge to replace the cancelled "Fight of the Century"

Lastly for those in Clottey's corner, how is anything from that camp going to be able to go into this camp confortably knowing that opening the promoter for who you trust and make money for rather see you lose. That could throw off the whole entire game plan.

I believe when a promoter has two of his boxers fighting in the same fight, the promoter should keep their opinion on the fights outcome to themselves.

Arum has proven time and time again he is a old piece of ****

i 2nd that statement... cuz he did the same **** when promoting Cotto vs Pacquiao... publicly sayin that Cotto is no match for Pacman or "Superman" as Arum and most of the Pacquiao fans see him

[crillz]

I got 10K to anyones 100K on Clottey over Pacquiao, 10 to 1 odds for my guy because lets be honest NOBODY thinks Clottey will win, hopefully one of you over confident Pacquiaombies got the Enuts required to take this bet..

Joshua "Grand Master" Clottey is easy work for NOBODY and that includes Pacquiao, everyone down to Bob Arum himself underestimates Clottey but I will stick with him, I give him his respect so you know what I make that bet with any of you. at heart I think Joshua has a GREAT chance of winning, at mind I see Pacquiao giving too many angles and causing Joshua to not let his hands go but I'm gonna go with my heart on this one and take Clottey, anybody want the bet????

Okay so if you think Pacquiao will have too much speed for Clottey to win then why did you make this fight a PPV? You want people to pay 50 dollars for a sure fire Pac win?

Quite honestly the first thing i thought when i read this. Where is this mans tact. He should be publicly neutral.

If clottey wins a close decision, Pac will still win by UD or SD if you know what i mean?

Yup its gona be like when clottey fought cotto. If clottey wins he will get screwed on the judges card. Arum just uses him as a steping stone for his stars to get bigger wat an ass

Cotto had a De La Hoya fight on the table when Margarito fought him. Margarito knew Top Rank wanted to Cotto to win to make the De La Hoya fought but in the end everything works out. The win made Margarito a star to the Mexcicans. De La Hoya had no Cotto. He fought Pacquiao instead and look where we are.

Clottey screwed himself. He could have stopped Cotto but he stopped fighting in the last three rounds.

Honestly, I think BIGPOPPAPUMP is the only one who knows boxing so far in this thread and also a true fan of boxing. What do you guys want? A promoter telling the truth or a promoter that lies too much about a fight? Arum right now is saying what most think. De La Hoya said to Hatton Pacquiao's punches were like a fly and look what happened. That's the same guy who said Pacquiao's punches were like fly to Mosley and Vargas punches. You guys complain alot when Arum lies and now that he tells the truth, you f***ers still complain. So which one is it?

Yea but in my opinion he did enough to win the fight but he wasnt given a fair shake bc bob had plans to match cotto up wit pac.

[Carpe Diem]

Both fighters are promoted by Arum and Top Rank, yet Arum openly takes a stance and backs one fighter over the other.

Yes, its natural to have one pick over the other, however, to go public with it when you are supposed to equally represent the interest of both fighters is a jackass move.

Arum has proven time and time again he is a old piece of ****.

That's how that bastard is. He doesn't care about his fighters, only the ones who can put cash in his pocket.
