Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Adviser: Bob Arum Should Free Manny For Floyd!

[KnickTillDeaTh]

fk floyd. It's ridiculous. Never in the history of boxing has a fighter refused to fight because of another promoter.

Thats not true at all. Ali stopped working with Don King after the Forman fight and Tyson was robbed by Don King and refused to work with him after the well publicized break up. I'm sure if you did some research you would find many fighters who refused to work with specific promoters.

Folks on here say Floyd is scared to fight Manny. They say Shotime made Floyd fight Canelo. So if Shotime made Floyd fight Canelo and now the VP of Shotime says Floyd will fight Manny anytime and anywhere but Bob Arum can't be involved. How is Floyd ducking or is in fear of Manny? If you believe Shotime forced the Canelo fight (as many Pac fans have posted here) and believe Shotime tells Floyd who he must fight, how can you truthfully blame Floyd for this fight not happening when the people whom you say tells Floyd who he must fight says different? Now one of Manny's advisors is calling for Arum to step aside so the fight can happen and you fools still say Floyd is making excuses and ducking Manny. Even when you are presented with concrete proof you still hold on to these beliefs. How ****** can you be?
People say Manny is too loyal or naïve, that may be somewhat true but this Tax situation has been a wake up call. This fight will happen if Arum is out of the picture because if it does not (once Arum is out of the picture) then Shaffer, Epinoza, Shotime, GBP, and TMT lose all credibility in the public eye and a Ton of Money long term. They would be forced to make the fight unless Manny has a sudden change of mind does not want to (under current financial circumstances there is no way he would change his mind).

[-MEGA-]

Even if Bob let Manny go fight Floyd. Lets say TR gets step aside money. How would that work being that floyd would want him to sign to TMT...

if manny is used to losing and already lost 3 of his last 4 fights then he wouldnt be "extremely uncomfortable" about floyd then. using your logic its floyd that is "extremely uncomfortable" when manny's name gets brought up. that "0" is the only thing floyd has left.

Sure he would be, look at his choices: fight Floyd (or either act like you will)
or get that ass locked up for tax evasion!!! Right now Manny looks PETRIFIED of Floyd!!! Floyd has called him out, called him personally, in the media,etc. This rhetoric we're hearing from Manny is to save face. Watch him re-sign with Arum!!!!! If a man calls your house and constantly says publicly that he wants to kick your ass is that man uncomfortable with you or do he really think he can? Floyd has more than challenged Manny, all Manny does is hide behind Arum.

Mosley was forced to leave GB
JMM was forced to leave GB
Cotto left TR so why won't Manny leave TR for the biggest fight of his life? Floyd is not only the best P4P now he's the most successful fighter of all time!!!

I'm sorry buddy that I can barely break 100 posts and am considered an "alt"

How do you do it? How do you devote your ENTIRE life to a forum?

Dude, whether if it's 4 or 5 years... 32,000 posts on any website is ****ing weird.

It's so easy to get red or green karma on here. Want green karma? "FLOYD IS A DUCKER!!!" .. Want red karma? "PACQUIAO SHOULD LEAVE ARUM!"

Yeah, I don't really care about internet points.

What this guy said is true about the politics on this forum.. All I said was Pacquiao might as well link up with Floyd and I get -10000 karma. Yet I see more vicious posts against the other fight and they have crazy amount of karma. They are also the most polarizing and bias.. Yet everyone responds to these guys because of their karma. All they say is Floyd is gay, has a small penis, and duck every fighter. I like Pacquiao and never say anything negative about him, I just say the truth of the matter.

For instance= Pacquiao is very illiterate when it comes to numbers and documents.

Arum suggest that GBP steps aside for Nonito-Mares so that he can make the fight since he had the A-side fighter, so I think him doing the same for Pac wouldn't not be a bad idea. Moreover he can also do that to call Mayweather bluff if needed but apart from the fact tha Mayweather personally rang and spoke to Pac on the phone which proves that he at least wanted the fight at that time I still can't get myself up for this fight now.

[SceneSpectator!]

You mean like in the first negotiations when Mayweather agreed to everything that Pac wanted and Pac still wouldn't sign the contract?

t

If contract fails, certainly Floyd asking something that Pac camp could not just give up. But when Pac agrees, Floyd demanding another thing, and again and again! Hece so weird when you said Floyd agrees everything yet Pac refused to sign a contract? When???!.

[-PBP-]

Arum should free Pac and take a % of his purse. Call Floyd's bluff.

[Nay_Sayer]

If anyone, for a second, thinks that Bob Arum has anything to do with why the fight hasn't been made is out of their mind... or at the very least, forgetful.

This "I won't work with Arum" is pretty recent. Before that it was another excuse... and another excuse... and another. If that was the issue, why didn't Floyd say it 4 years ago?

So, did Bob build his stadium yet?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Manny gonna fire this guy lol


Arum aint never letting manny go until he has milked him for everything, and cashes manny out vs tim 2, jmm 5, ruslan, alvardo, cotto 2, etc........

Bob aint gonna just get pushed out of the picture, im 100% certain
